*BEFORE YOU BUY:* Heyyo! So as expected, I'm noticing some gradual degradation in the image quality. Overall, vibrance etc. are the same, but I'm noticing marks on the image which aren't related to the lens. My guess is that there's a flaw or dust on the actual imaging panel. Something I can't fix without taking apart the projector. It was fun while it lasted, but honestly, as expected, I think this one has run it's course. I think we all kind of saw this coming, but *I'D JUST LIKE TO REAFFIRM THAT YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BUY THIS*
I've got one of these and for the money it's absolutely brilliant. Never had any problem casting from my phone and also you can manually adjust keystone and shift the picture both left and right.
@@benjaminbutcher You have to set keystone to manual and then you can move it quite a bit to the left and right. Miracast works 100% of the time with my Samsung S20 FE. I also have a Freestyle 2 and whilst that does have better picture and way better sound I find I use my MagCubic HY300 more because I use it in bed on the ceiling. I can't shift the picture much on Freestyle 2 so it's always off to the side of my bed. For the money the MagCubic punches way above it's price. You can even plug in a usb stick or Fire Stick. 👍
@@MingTheMelon Are you talking about gaming? I'm not sure as not used it for that. But for watching netflix in bed on your ceiling it's worth the money alone. I plug a Google Chromecast in to mine - Fire sticks work well also.
hi! I’ve recently got it and it is ok, although something weird happens when I watch stuff: the scale of what I’m watching is fine, but I can still see the surrounding frame is out of proportion, despite the keystone being manually adjusted (I can’t see the frame when I’m on the home screen ). Any clue of what it might be? Cheers!!
Based on what you’re describing it sounds like the outline is really just an inescapable side effect of projecting something onto the wall. Remember: your projector can only adjust with the its maximum frame of projection. That means that there will likely always be places that it isn’t projecting. That said, it’s basically just blacking out the places it can’t project. Hence the residual frame.
@@benjaminbutcher thanks for your reply! That would make sense, but my main issue is with the shape of this shadow. Someone suggested it’s the angle the projector is working from, so I’ll try and adjust it around a bit! Hope you have a nice year, cheers!
I am setting my kids room up with a harry potter theme and I was thinking about getting one if these to project on ripped fabric over the door so that it looks like the brick entrance on the train platform... so basically just a picture of a brick wall. Do you think this will be suitable for that?
If the fabric is white and it’s not competing against any other light, maybe? But again, the image will not last. Already seeing black specs so… I’d say don’t 🤷🏻♂️
Frankly, the software on this thing is really only useful in that you can screen mirror to it. I'd reccommend just using netflix/Disney out of your phone if you can.
Loved it that youtubers are starting to add the environmental/social aspect to the reviews. Having worked at a sweatshop like environment, public pressure helps to force positive changes , even if reluctant from the bosses. Keep it up!
@@benjaminbutcher Yea, the levels of obfuscation of the native res of these no-name brand projectors has gone beyond the point of parody. There's just no way to trust even the sellers, because the manufacturers aren't honest with the sellers either. That being said, I will probably hold off, because after 8+ years with a supermarket DLP 480p miniprojector, I'd rather have a reliable and substantial upgrade.
Why when people buy the cheap shhh they instantly tell you how good it's not when compared to the better costly one instead of telling you how surprised they are of it's functionality at said price
I noticed on the Amazon product page it says you can’t cast to it via Bluetooth from any devices, but you were able to get it to accept media from your iPhone/macbook. I’ll probably only use it for my switch/PC but that’s good to know.
Yeah... I should really emphasize this: It seems that product quality varies really widely. If you look at other comments, your device may not function or even run the same software as mine did.
Is this projector supposed to save the Network wifi Password? The opening have for some reason I have to manually put the wifi password every time I use it
As mentioned before the software experience is NOT consistent with these. In this model it’s gotta be connected. Although you could just stick a thumb drive in it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm wondering if there's a website/forum dedicated for modding these because for a shit lot of android devices like tv/boxes/streamers/car stereos/sat units etc can be modded with cool features/apps/interfaces
I have it but, I can't connect my Bluetooth and the QR code to connect wireless doesn't exits. If I use screen mirror Netflix doesn't work and apple tv just works as a speaker for some reason. How did u connect your cellphone to the projector??
Hi Lorraine! You can watch anything on this one provided you have almost any Apple smart device. An iPhone, Macbook, iPad or even an old iPod touch should be able to use airplay to connect to the projector.
I'm looking for this, mainly to use it for my lessons in class so that I don't have to carry that big and heavy one to present to my learners. All I wanna use it for is to connect to my laptop and display some notes on the screen. Is it worth buying it?
yeah so as long as you have an HDMI cable it should be fine. Based on what I'm hearing, the software it ships with is so inconsistent that your best bet is just a cable ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just "stole" one of these in a Dirty Santa gift exchange. I'm pretty excited about it, though it obviously won't be the highest quality product I've used, it'll be just fine for projecting football and hockey games onto the garage door for parties. I feel like without heavy usage this should last much longer than the bottles of alcohol others received. lol
can you charge this beamer and use is completely wireless? I ask because I want to show movies in remote locations and don't want to use a generator for electricity
Woukd my Xbox one look good on this can anykne confim? Im starting to get a burn patch on my lebs and looking for a nice uograde. I work away quite alot too if thats of any help. Also is the rotation good enough to watch movies on the ceiling in bed good? Thanks anyone
This guy didn’t know what he bought, so his fault, he needs to be smart to get the right included android 11 support so he could stream videos from tablets or smartphones
Your experience might? Be different, but if it’s like mine this device would only be useful to you if you connected it directly to your device using an HDMI cable
I just got mine from Ali Express. I have no trouble using the HDMI cable with my Windows 10, but i couldn't get any of the apps to connect with my WIFi directly with my Motorolla phones.
Unfortunately, my voice was disfigured in a horrible cheesemaking accident! And as regards my western propaganda, you're right! I renounce it entirely! I see now that I was a fool. What hubris! What a chicanorous dealings I have perpetrated! I should have only talked about the product and kept my propaganda to myself! 😔😔😔 Thank you for setting me straight. You've really changed the direction of this channel.
Hey there! If you swipe down from the top right of your iPhone there should be screen mirroring button. If you have the wireless connection page open on your projector you should be able to see it when you select screen mirroring on your phone.

Jet some air through it and maybe shift particles.
i appreciated the opening it doesn't go unnoticed
NO ONE should assume this will have even decent sound. Youre gonna HAVE to use speakers or a headset
I've got one of these and for the money it's absolutely brilliant. Never had any problem casting from my phone and also you can manually adjust keystone and shift the picture both left and right.
well then, there's obviously only ONE explanation! They saw my review and updated the software immediately lol

how's the latency?

For those that are struggling with Netflix Disney and RUclips not opening you have to update the date and time and it should work
How you do that
They updated the software. I got it with Netflix and RUclips installed. Prime is currently buggy.
Thx for adding this, friend!
ANy update on the projector?
@@GrenadR it's running beautifully. My brother is also thinking of buying one
How do you make a square/rectangle shape? Mine has a trapezium like shape very frustrating. Anyone with advice or help would appreciate 🙏
I just bought this for $35 and my coworker bought the Samsung 2 projector for $600 so we can compare.

Great review!. Any idea what the native resolution of this thing actually is?
Keeping in mind the level of "accuracy" in these Amazon listings,
the seller says that the native resolution is 1280*720

Hey, thanks for the review! So, with no Apple device you are not able to cast on the beamer...?
Pretty much, yeah. Again, it's kind of a janky product, but like... surprisingly effective!
How long did it last
I noticed on the Amazon product page it says you can’t cast to it via Bluetooth from any devices, but you were able to get it to accept media from your iPhone/macbook. I’ll probably only use it for my switch/PC but that’s good to know.

@@benjaminbutcher word! I just ordered one so fingers crossed haha
If your on a budget and you don't want to spend so much money on the Samsula freestyle this is a good alternative to it it's totally worth buying
If I use this cant I play the audio from my laptop while using it to watch my video?
Yep
Is this projector supposed to save the Network wifi Password? The opening have for some reason I have to manually put the wifi password every time I use it
Yeahhh the quality on these is extremely messy. It should remember the wifi password. Another reason not to buy this.
Does it have to be connected to my phone to play movies?

I don’t know much about projectors , can I watch Netflix if I Bluetooth my phone or tablet to it ?

yeah so as long as you have an HDMI cable it should be fine. Based on what I'm hearing, the software it ships with is so inconsistent that your best bet is just a cable ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I got this and like it but for some reason it won’t let me sync to any Bluetooth speaker? Any hints?
Given the patchy quality on these you'd probably be wise to exchange it for another one. That's my best guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hi…could I connect an NVIDIA SHIELD to this unit?…it should be a much quicker interface than its onboard one right?
Looks like their devices have HDMI hookups, so you shouldn't have any trouble. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
my netflix isnt opening, a message appears saying the device is not compatible with netflix. can anyone help?
Best guess would be just to chromecast or airplay from your phone's netflix given how janky/inconsistent the software for this device is
@@benjaminbutcher i actually tried to airplay but the screen just went black and the screen mirroring stopped!
🤣🤣Literally best review ever. Thank you so much x
thanks man!
Happy to help! :D
I needed for my computer using hdmi just to show some game film and powerpoint presentation. Would i have issues to use on laptop?
its for my football team. will only use 2-3x a week for about 20mins
Technically, no. There should be no issues if you're just using an HDMI cable.
Can you sideload apps on it?
The product seems to be inconsistent. I didn't try to jailbreak it, but my guess is no, not without considerable effort.
I just "stole" one of these in a Dirty Santa gift exchange. I'm pretty excited about it, though it obviously won't be the highest quality product I've used, it'll be just fine for projecting football and hockey games onto the garage door for parties. I feel like without heavy usage this should last much longer than the bottles of alcohol others received. lol
Ahhh see getting it for free is really the best case scenario lol. Congrats!
How is it
What’s the fan noise like?
Honestly negligible. Like... it's there, but during use I never thought: goddamn that's really affecting my viewing experience.
Hei,does it worth to buy Mc cubic insread og samsung freestyle?
That really depends on what you want to use it for! Given how different the products are, it’s really hard to say.
can you charge this beamer and use is completely wireless? I ask because I want to show movies in remote locations and don't want to use a generator for electricity
If you had a battery with a standard household outlet you could do it.
can someone confirm if I can cast to this from iphone without wifi or is it able to be hot spotted?
Woukd my Xbox one look good on this can anykne confim? Im starting to get a burn patch on my lebs and looking for a nice uograde. I work away quite alot too if thats of any help. Also is the rotation good enough to watch movies on the ceiling in bed good?
Thanks anyone
Itll probably look decent and it will project onto your ceiling just fine but it is like 720p
Did you find a way to connect to Android ?
I have not.
Is that a c7 connection cable?
So it would seem! Obviously it's got that 90 degree bend in it, but the connectors appear to be the same.
Do you still use it? Has it been working fine?
Hey! I don't use it a lot. However, I lent it to a friend two days ago and it worked great for them!
now around 40 on ali express
this exact one is 40 bucks on aliexpress. If its worth it at 100 bucks, its a no brainer at 40
Got one, it’s black, it’s a bit noisy and… it’s a cube not this round one. 🤦
This guy didn’t know what he bought, so his fault, he needs to be smart to get the right included android 11 support so he could stream videos from tablets or smartphones
So if i only got a android ( one + phone ) , i cant use this ?
Your experience might? Be different, but if it’s like mine this device would only be useful to you if you connected it directly to your device using an HDMI cable
