Premium features at a budget price
Disclosure: I received the HY450MAX free of charge through Heyup's community tryout program. Opinions are entirely my own. For around $225, this projector delivers features I'd associate with far more expensive devices: auto-focus and four-corner keystone correction that genuinely work, surprisingly capable speakers, and a sharp, pleasant 1080p image in a dark room. It's well built yet light enough to carry one-handed, so it became our "second TV" within days... kids' movies in the bedroom one night, a World Cup match in the office the next. Room for improvement, all cheap fixes: the power cable is too short (~1.5m), there's no lens cover (mine arrived with fingerprints on the lens), the fan is audible until content masks it, and there's no 3.5mm audio out. The app store is barebones, but YouTube, Jellyfin and Plex all run fine. No dealbreakers at this price. As an absolute device it's good; factor in the price and it's excellent value. Recommended, especially for dark-room use.
