The Magcubic Smart Projector is an impressive all-in-one device that delivers convenience and performance. I have used it for a couple of days. One of its standout aspects is the official Netflix license, offering access to over 700+ TV apps without needing an external device. Its built-in \"App Store\" makes finding new content a breeze. With a native 1080P resolution and 12,000 lumens, the projector offers vibrant colors and sharp details. The HiFi speakers provide quality sound.This compact projector is portable and comes with a 180° adjustable stand for flexible placement. It supports multiple projection modes (front, rear, ceiling), and features auto keystone correction and zoom functions, making setup effortless in any room.
I was looking for a basic projector to use periodically on a ceiling in a bedroom without a TV and a lot of things on the wall. In the summer we plan to use it at our cabin to watch various media outside at night.There\'s an HDMI input and outputs for Bluetooth devices as well as a 3.5mm line out. A USB-A input is provided to connect a flash drive with external media but I haven\'t used it or needed it. I think a MicroSD or SD slot might be more useful. The onboard speaker is reasonably loud but is just a basic speaker, you\'ll want to connect an external speaker via bluetooth or use the line out for better sound. There\'s a tripod mount on the base of the device.The device uses WhaleOS which I guess is another type of smart TV interface. Major apps are on there as well as some niche things. I have Plex, YouTube, RedBull TV, and EuroNews installed. It\'s a little laggy browsing around the apps and system menus but media plays fine.Picture quality is ok, it seems like the projector looks better straight on versus angled. There are options to adjust geometry and when using angled it\'s a little complicated getting it set up but it eventually works out. I think due to that geometry angled is maybe a tiny bit fuzzier than straight on. In fairness though there aren\'t a lot of ideal places in our bedroom to put it but it makes the best of wherever we have it.When in use, make sure the projector has some airflow around it, it kicks out a fair amount of heat. I presume the light source is LED so there\'s no bulb to replace but if the fan dies in the future that might be an an issue. There is some minimal fan noise.For the price (there was a coupon) it\'s a decent purchase and works fine for our basic needs and it\'s price point.
