Netflix and Disney+ on the wall without a stick

The LONAISCI HY300 Pro leads with its apps. LONAISCI says Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube and Disney+ come pre-installed on its Android 13 system, with thousands more in the app store. For a household that streams most nights, that means one power cable and a Wi-Fi password stand between the box and the first film.

The rest of the spec is the solid middle of the HY300 Pro range:

  • Android 13, newer than the Android 11 of some rivals, older than the Android 14 of the newest.
  • Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 for streams from the router and casting from phones and laptops.
  • Bluetooth 5.2 for a speaker or headphones.
  • Native 1280 × 720 on an LED-lit panel that accepts 4K signals.
  • 180 to 200 ANSI lumens and a 1500:1 contrast ratio.
  • A 180° swivel for wall, ceiling and anything in between.

LONAISCI's spec sheet lists 180 ANSI lumens where the feature text says 200. The difference is small on the wall; either way, this is a projector for a darkened room, and a good one for bedroom ceilings and closed-curtain lounges.

Why pre-installed apps matter. Many small projectors run Android but struggle with the official streaming apps, sending owners to a TV stick. Having the main services in place from day one saves that extra purchase and keeps the HDMI port free.

Setting it up follows the usual pattern, walked through in order in the HY300 manual in plain English. Run the system update first; newer firmware often fixes app sign-in problems before they start.

LONAISCI pitches it at home cinema, backyard films, travel and family evenings, and the small swivel body with a single power cord makes the move from bedroom to garden a two-minute job. Just bring an extension lead, since the garden is rarely next to a socket.

100 inches wants a deeper room than the Pro+

LONAISCI pairs a 40-inch picture with 1.2 m of distance and a 150-inch picture with 4 m. Those figures work out to a throw ratio of roughly 1.2 to 1.35:1, noticeably longer than the 0.9:1 short throw of Magcubic's HY300 Pro+. In plain terms, the projector sits further back for the same size of picture.

Lens to wallDiagonalRoom
1.2 m40 inA desk or a child's room
About 1.7–1.8 m60 inBedroom wall from a dresser
About 2.2–2.4 m80 inLounge wall from a sideboard
About 2.7–3.0 m100 inA long living room
4 m150 inMaximum, dark rooms only

The middle rows are estimates between LONAISCI's two published points; expect a few centimetres either way. The longer throw is a blessing in a long lounge, where the projector can sit on a back shelf behind the sofa rather than on a coffee table in everyone's way.

Where it bites is the bedroom ceiling. A nightstand under a 2.4 m ceiling leaves about 1.8 m of throw, which gives a picture near 60 inches rather than the 80-plus a short-throw model manages. Plenty for one or two people lying in bed, less so for a sleepover.

  • Long lounge: a good fit; 100 inches from the back wall.
  • Bedroom wall: a good fit; 60 to 80 inches from across the bed.
  • Ceiling from bed: fine at about 60 inches.
  • Tiny room: a short-throw model gets more picture.

Fire Stick, PS5 and a quiet fan for late films

Beyond the apps, the LONAISCI HY300 Pro has the ports that make it a general-purpose screen. HDMI takes a streaming stick, a laptop or a games console. USB reads films from a flash drive, and a 3.5 mm audio jack sends sound to a wired speaker or headphones.

LONAISCI rates the cooling fan below 25 dB, low enough for quiet dialogue scenes and for gaming late in the evening without a hum drowning out the soundtrack. The built-in 360° stereo speaker covers a bedroom; for a lounge, Bluetooth 5.2 or the audio jack brings in something bigger.

First-night setup takes a few minutes:

  1. Place the projector square to the wall at the distance your picture size needs.
  2. Join Wi-Fi on the 5 GHz band if the router offers it.
  3. Update the system, then open the pre-installed apps and sign in.
  4. Auto keystone straightens the frame; after that, turn the focus by hand until small text is crisp at the edges.
  5. Pair a speaker or plug one into the audio jack if the room is large.

A projector that stays put needs focusing once. It becomes a small chore when the lens swivels between wall and ceiling each night, because the distance changes and the wheel needs another turn.

Gaming note. Set a PS5 or Xbox to 1080p output. The panel is 720p native, so a 4K feed gains nothing, and wired audio from the 3.5 mm jack avoids the delay Bluetooth adds to fast games.

For HDMI and casting trouble, the connection guide covers phones, laptops and sticks.

LONAISCI Pro, LONAISCI Ultra or a Magcubic Pro?

LONAISCI also makes an HY300 Ultra, and the HY300 Pro competes with plenty of similar bodies from other brands. The table sets the three most useful comparisons side by side.

ProjectorSystemSoundBluetooth
LONAISCI HY300 ProAndroid 13360° stereo speaker5.2
LONAISCI HY300 UltraAndroid 135W SoundBase5.4
Alwtniet HY300 ProAndroid 14Built-in speaker5.4
Magcubic HY300 ProNot statedBuilt-in speaker5.4

The LONAISCI Ultra adds a 5W speaker base and a short-throw lens that fits 80 inches into 1.5 m, a real gain in a small bedroom. Alwtniet's Pro offers a newer Android and Bluetooth in a similar shape. Magcubic's classic Pro brings the maker's own version of the design with Wi-Fi 6 plus Bluetooth 5.4.

Room shape often settles it. In a narrow bedroom where the projector must sit close, a short-throw Ultra or Pro+ fills more wall. In a long lounge with a shelf at the back, the LONAISCI Pro's longer throw turns into an advantage, keeping the projector out of walkways and the fan noise further from the sofa.

The LONAISCI Pro makes the most sense when:

  • The main services should work out of the box, with no stick.
  • The room is long enough for the throw, or the picture can stay around 60 to 80 inches.
  • A one-year warranty and a 30,000-hour light source cover the years ahead.

Before ordering, measure the distance from the planned shelf to the wall and check it against the throw table, then decide whether 60 inches on the ceiling is enough for bedtime films.

Setup and screen questions

Does the LONAISCI HY300 Pro have Netflix built in?

LONAISCI says Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube and Disney+ come pre-installed on its Android 13 system. Update the system before signing in.

How far from the wall for 100 inches?

Roughly 2.7 to 3 m, estimated from LONAISCI's figures of 40 inches at 1.2 m and 150 inches at 4 m.

Is the LONAISCI HY300 Pro 4K?

It accepts 4K signals, but the panel is native 1280 × 720, so every picture is shown at 720p.

Can it project on the ceiling?

Yes, it swivels 180°. From a nightstand under a standard ceiling, expect a picture of about 60 inches.

What ports does it have?

HDMI, USB and a 3.5 mm audio jack, with Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6 on the wireless side.
