What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.8 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about PVO YG300 Pro Max

  • Weighs 0.3 kg, so it is easy to carry between rooms.
  • At 95 mm wide and 53 mm high, it takes very little shelf space.
  • A 1 m minimum throw lets it sit close to the wall.
  • Projects up to 200 inch, a big picture from a compact unit.
  • Stereo speakers add some width to the sound.
  • Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi cover both audio and streaming.

What customers don't like about PVO YG300 Pro Max

  • A 200 inch image on 1920x1080 is softer than on a smaller screen.
  • The small body points to modest speaker output for a large room.
  • As a budget model, it suits a bedroom or spare room more than a main home cinema.
  • Its light weight means it can be knocked off a shelf easily.

Verdict

For a spare room or bedroom, the PVO YG300 Pro Max is a budget projector that is easy to move about. At 0.3 kg it is light enough to carry in one hand, and the body is 95 mm wide and 53 mm high. It throws an image up to 200 inch, and its 1 m minimum throw distance means it can sit close to the wall. Stereo speakers give the sound some width, and Bluetooth 5.4 lets you play audio from a phone. Output and panel are both 1920x1080, so the picture is not rescaled. Its light build also means it can be knocked off a shelf. Sound from such a small body will not fill a big room. It suits a buyer who wants a cheap second screen for films, not a main home cinema.
