HY310 purchase went smoothly
I purchased an HY310 on strength of online reviews, features, and price. I had an early contact from customer support before the unit shipped because I'd made a mistake and had an EU power adapter ordered instead of a US adapter at a US address, so they dropped me a line to make sure that was what I meant to do. Ultimately, their support saved me trouble so kudos for that. Very happy with the projector so far - everything arrived in good condition, the external packaging was pretty basic but the unit arrived in good condition fairly quickly - there's a good amount of padding in the retail box so it seems like it'd need to take a big hit to take damage. Shipment time was reasonable for free shipping on a fairly low-priced unit. The projector is surprisingly capable for the money - it's not going to overpower sunlight in a brightly-lit room, but we've used it in daylight hours in less-directly-lit areas of the room and it is adequate for the job. You're obviously not getting the best picture in those conditions, but it's capable of enough brightness to be plenty usable. Picture quality is definitely better in a dark room, though. I haven't used the built-in apps for much, so I can't comment on those, but USB video playing is working fine with h.264 videos. It's functional as a night light of a sort with the right videos and a shutdown timer, although I do wish they had a slightly longer timer available. HDMI has worked for everything I've thrown at it, screen mirroring has worked on the devices I've tried it on as well. All in all, very pleased customer, there's minor improvements available but it's a quality item for the cash. I've heard similarly good things about their other models as well and intend to try some of those out too.
