  • ►Today we test out and review the YG300 led projector!
    UPDATE APRIL 2020: So this projector is probs best only for kids. Although it does project an image that can be seen, the quality isn't exactly the best so If you are looking for something to watch your films/Netflix/play games etc on then I would recommend the following projector:
    ► BUY IT LINKS

    All projectors i have reviewed so far:
    • PROJECTORS
    ► HOW TO CONNECT YOUR PHONE:
    Apple/IOS Devices:
    You will need an OFFICIAL Apple lightning to hdmi adaptor and any HDMI cable.
    ►Apple lightning to HDMI adaptor: geni.us/exzaY
    ►HDMI cable: geni.us/XsxxJ6
    Connect your ios device to the lightning connector. Attach a HDMi cable to the HDMI output on the apple adaptor and then to the projector. All done!
    ► Android Phones:
    You can either connect via cable or casting. (Casting only works if your phone supports mirroring.)
    For cable connections you will need an MHL adaptor. (Either micro usb to HDMI or USB-c to HDMi depending on your phone connection.)
    However the best way is to cast your phone via either a Google Chromcast (or any cast stick) or an Amazon fire stick.
    ► Amazon Fire Stick: geni.us/MelXs
    Plug in the fire stick into the projector. Press and hold the home button on the amazon remote. Go to "Display and Sounds" Select "enable screen mirroring". On your android phone pull down the settings option and look for screen sharing/mirror phone options. Select the amazon fire stick (or whatever you have named your fire stick) and you are done!

      Cheers Wayne, glad you enjoyed it! If you don’t mind me asking, how close to the projection would you be sitting whilst it was in your van? Just because the closer you are to it then of course the more the quality diminishes . (Depending on the size of the projection too)!

I'm not really after a huge image though, this little thing would just stow away very well. If you can recommend another under £100 that would be great. Thanks

    Genius ! I hook up a Digital Alarm Clock via a 4 meter HDMI cable. This YG 300 with its battery can last from 1 - 1.5 hrs. Just mount it on my bed head with Clams which I obtain from Office Works.
    My Wi Fi Digital Alarm Clock comes with USB ,HDMI , Optical and others ports which I have no idea what they are for but all understand they are all inputs. The best buy I ever did and the best place you can watch Movies, MP4 and even playback MP3 on Big Screen on the ceiling while in bed .. best position which you wont hurt your back or get sore on your neck.

      I bought this for the kids bedroom. It is not that great. We watched couple of movies on it.
      I connected the fire stick through HDMI. Fire stick has an option to connect to Bluetooth speakers so I connected mine to the soundbar.
      The projector screen that I bought was no good. In fact, this worked OK on a white wall in our house. The room needs to be very dark for the picture to appear clear on your screen.
      Spend few more quid and get a decent one if you are looking to get a clear image!

      Thanks Andrew, Im a tad worried however because i think my video has given the wrong impression of this projector. Yes it does project but the quality is ok...not exactly great. If you plan to use it a lot it maybe best to look for something that offers better picture quality. The kids love this projector but I assume that is because they dont care about 1080p etc! Ha ha! Anyhow if you do get one I hope you like it!

      Hi Dennis, thanks for watching and commenting! 👌 When it comes to pictures, in my review I just used jpg files on a memory stick plugged directly into the projector itself.
      However if you are looking to show off some pictures in glorious detail then I wouldn’t recommend this device. Buy If you are just planning on having a few random family/fun pictures in the far background of a party then that would be fine. Basically pictures can be seen but are a bit pixelated. Hope that makes sense!

      Thanks Stephen, to be honest the quality of the projection is “slightly” better when viewed with the naked eye as during filming the camera added a slight bit of noise to the footage because it was being filmed in such low lighting! Defo one the kids will love though!

      @mcphoney  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mia Landgren You would need some sort of chromecast or amazon fire stick device plus a power supply to plug it into. The chromecast or stick would go into the HDMI connector on the projector. 👌 However please note some paid per view apps/streaming services won’t allow them to be connected to a projector. For example BT Sport doesn’t allow it unless you have a prescription on your TV. (I only have it on my phone so it doesn’t work. And if you have an IOS device (Apple) then you can’t connect Netflix to a projector either. Netflix does work on an android phone, but not Apple.

      Hi there, I feel personally this projector would not be sufficient for your plans of a garden hike cinema.
      This projector works best in complete darkness and if you do plan to have a few people around to watch it with then I’d suggest splashing out a bit more. I reviewed the Artlii Enjoy which is still a budget projector bit a bit more expensive however it is far better and brighter than the YG300! Hope that helps!

      It would work but it wouldn’t be the best. You would have to have a completely blacked out room and the maximum screen size this projector can produce is 60 inches and even then everything is not in sharp detail and not exactly bright. This is more of a kids projector I would say. Sorry about that!

For the same price, I suggest buying a used names brand product, like Epson. I did that, spent the same amount of money, and the image difference is absolutely amazing on the Epson.

Just load up a usb and hang a sheet and you have your own drive in cinema. I'd recommend getting a bluetooth speaker and running it through the headphone jack for better sound.
    Also buy the M24 for about the same price, its at 480 x 320 resolution, basically double for abit better picture quality.

      @mcphoney  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You can connect ipad/iphone to it but unfortunately you need an adaptor im afraid. MHL or Lightning to HDMI. You can get cheap ones but as I have found out Apple dont like you using "non apple" products with there devices and they either dont work or if they do then they suddenly stop after a short while. Can you cancel the order or return the projector? Or do you have a google cast/amazon fire stick to connect to it to watch netflix? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

    • @mcphoney
      @mcphoney  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The thing I am worried about is how good the picture will be once you’re connected up. I think the Apple adaptor (lightning to HDMI) costs more than the projector itself! Obviously it’s up to you but I’d hate for you to spend even more money and be dissatisfied! (This is only a 320x240 resolution projector. A HD TV for example is 1920x1080 resolution)
      So if you plan to use it a lot it may be worth saving up for a better projector?
      A did a review for another budget projector which maybe better
      th-cam.com/video/fG40dne_fp0/w-d-xo.html
      Or this one:
      th-cam.com/video/RUZxo1LW-TI/w-d-xo.html
      But at the same time you would still have to buy an adaptor to hook up your iPad.
      So instead of hooking up an iPad it may work out cheaper to buy an amazon fire stick or google chromecast to watch Netflix.
      Sorry to get so complicated!

      The wall colour can make a difference Im afraid, The whiter the better tbh. :-)
      In this demo/video the wall is very light brown colour and it does still slightly reduce the picture/colour. I suppose it depends how pale the purple is really. If it was VERY light then you may be ok. Sorry I couldnt be more definite but defo white works best!
