SKUOU's Ultra pushes 220 ANSI lumens through a four-channel LED engine, keeps its fan down to 22 dB and is described with a motorised focus, a projector made for late films on the bedroom ceiling.
Every HY300 swivels to the ceiling. Most then need a hand on the focus wheel, which means sitting up, reaching over and lying back down to check. SKUOU describes its HY300 Ultra with a focus motor you drive from the remote, so the picture would sharpen while you stay under the covers.
How a ceiling film goes with it:
A motorised lens helps well beyond the bedroom. Move the projector from wall to ceiling to garden fence, and each new distance is a few presses away rather than a fiddle with a small wheel at arm's length.
SKUOU pairs the focus with a short-throw lens that fills 100 inches from 2 m, so even a small bedroom has room for a big ceiling picture. The recommended way to enjoy it, in SKUOU's own words, is in the dark: a bedroom with the lights off, a living room with closed curtains, a campsite after sunset.

SKUOU rates the Ultra at 220 ANSI lumens, 50% more than its previous generation and above the 200 that most HY300 Pro bodies state. The light comes from a four-channel RGB+B LED source through a native 1280 × 720 panel with a 2000:1 contrast ratio. It is still a dark-room projector, just a slightly more forgiving one.
The processing is where the Ultra reaches furthest:
| Room | Picture that works |
|---|---|
| Bedroom ceiling, lights off | 80–100 in |
| Lounge wall, curtains closed | 70–90 in |
| Backyard after sunset | 60–80 in on a white sheet |
Contrast is rated at 2000:1, lower on paper than some rivals quote. ANSI brightness is the figure that compares best between makers, and blackout curtains do more for contrast than any number.
A 100-inch picture from 2 m is the size SKUOU builds around. Staying at or below it keeps colours rich; larger pictures spread the same light thinner.
The HY300 brightness settings compare the picture modes by how much light each leaves on the wall. For exact distances, the HY300 screen size chart has every size.
Small projectors cool themselves with small fans, and small fans whine. SKUOU's answer is a turbo dual-air-duct design that brings operating noise down to 22 dB(A), 12% quieter than its predecessor. In a still bedroom at midnight, that is the difference between hearing the film and hearing the fan.
The sound side is tuned for late viewing as well:
The home network is the other late-night helper. A NAS direct-connection feature plays films straight from a network drive, and several devices can cast to the projector. A film library on a home server reaches the ceiling with no USB stick to swap. Your own files also skip a stream's compression, so they often look cleaner on the wall.
Cast from a phone with the steps in connecting an HY300 to a phone, and troubleshoot Wi-Fi and apps on the HY300 fixes page.
Three makers use the Ultra name in three different ways. SKUOU leans on the picture engine and a quiet fan. Magcubic chases brightness, and Xorytin loads streaming apps.
| Model | Light | Focus | What stands out |
|---|---|---|---|
| SKUOU HY300 Ultra | 220 ANSI | Motorised or manual | HDR10+, MEMC, 22 dB(A), NAS playback |
| Magcubic HY300 Ultra | 260 ANSI | Electric | Allwinner H726, voice air mouse |
| Xorytin HY300 Ultra | 180 ANSI | Auto | Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ preloaded |
| Alwtniet HY300 Pro, electric-focus build | 260 ANSI | Electric | Android 14 on an Allwinner H726 |
Pick the SKUOU if a quiet fan, smooth motion and network playback matter most. Pick Magcubic's Ultra for the most light and an air mouse. Pick the Xorytin if Netflix on the projector itself decides it.
The SKUOU also suits a household that keeps its films on a home server. NAS playback and casting from several devices make it the Ultra for a family library rather than a streaming subscription.
Before ordering, weigh these:
The wider question of Ultra against Pro is covered in HY300 Ultra vs HY300 Pro.
No automatic focus is described. SKUOU introduces a motorised focus driven from the remote, but one feature line lists manual focus, so confirm the focus type before buying.
220 ANSI lumens, which SKUOU rates 50% above its previous generation. It works best in a dark room.
SKUOU rates its operating noise at 22 dB(A), helped by a dual air-duct cooling design.
It decodes HDR10+ and maps the picture to its own range; the image stays within its 220 lumens and 720p panel.
SKUOU builds around 100 inches from 2 m, a good size for a bedroom ceiling or a lounge wall.
