An HY300 Pro for people who mostly watch Netflix: the app is built into its Android 11 system, phones project straight to it over Wi-Fi 6, and Thunrlge backs it for two years.
Netflix certifies each device its app runs on, and it is the service most often left off budget projectors. The Thunrlge HY300 Pro ships with Netflix built into its Android 11 system. Switch on, sign in, and the Friday series is on the bedroom wall with no TV stick hanging from the HDMI port.
The rest of the kit is there to keep that stream smooth:
The panel is a native 1280 × 720 TFT LCD with a 1500:1 contrast ratio. That is a dark-room picture: a series looks right with the lights off and the curtains drawn, and washed out with daylight on the wall.
Android 11 is an older base than the Android 14 on some newer HY300 bodies. For a projector bought mainly for Netflix, that matters less than having Netflix itself on board. If a second service is missing, a TV stick in the HDMI port adds it without losing the built-in app.

Thunrlge builds the HY300 Pro for direct projection from iPhones and Android phones, so a holiday video or a shared playlist goes from pocket to wall in a few taps. Both need the phone and the projector on the same Wi-Fi network. The routes differ a little by phone.
Mirroring shows whatever is on the phone's screen, which is perfect for photos, browser videos and games. Paid streaming apps often block mirroring and send a black screen instead. For those, use the app built into the projector, or cast from inside the app where it offers a cast button.
Sound travels with the mirrored picture, so the projector's speaker or a paired Bluetooth speaker plays the phone's audio.
Step-by-step fixes for iPhones that refuse to find the projector, and for mirroring that stutters, are in connecting an HY300 to a phone. Phone apps that replace the remote are covered in the HY300 remote app guide.
The Thunrlge accepts consoles, laptops, tablets and TV sticks through HDMI and USB. A picture runs from 40 inches with the lens 0.5 m from the wall to 130 inches at 3 m. For a couch co-op evening, somewhere in the middle suits everyone's eyes and the projector's light.
| Evening | Picture | Set it up like this |
|---|---|---|
| Solo game in the bedroom | 40–60 in | Close to the wall on a desk, lights off |
| Couch co-op | 70–90 in | On the coffee table, curtains drawn |
| Series marathon from bed | Ceiling | Rotate the body up from the nightstand |
| Match night with friends | Up to 130 in | At 3 m, in a fully dark room |
A console's signal is shown on the native 720p panel, so it plays best with the console set to output 1080p or 720p rather than asking for 4K it cannot show. Fast shooters feel the delay of any budget projector more than racing or party games do.
Party games for four suit it best: nobody minds a fraction of delay, and a 90-inch picture gives every player a readable corner of a split screen.
The 180° joint also aims it at a sloped attic ceiling, with automatic keystone taking out the tilt.
If the picture lags or HDMI shows no signal, the HY300 troubleshooting page covers input lag, HDMI and sound. Manual focus needs one turn of the wheel whenever the projector moves, and the HY300 manual walks through the menus.
Most HY300 bodies come with a one-year manufacturer warranty. Thunrlge doubles that to two years, which is worth something on a small projector that lives on nightstands and travels in bags. The trade is an older Android version and no published brightness figure.
| Model | Focus | Streaming | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thunrlge HY300 Pro | Manual, Android 11 | Netflix built in | 2 years |
| Alwtniet HY300 Pro | Manual, Android 14 | Hulu, YouTube built in | 1 year |
| Xorytin HY300 Ultra | Auto | Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ preloaded | 1-year replacement |
| Magcubic HY300 Pro+ | Manual | Apps built in | 1 year |
Choose the Thunrlge when Netflix is the main event and a longer warranty matters. Choose the Xorytin Ultra for Netflix with auto focus, or the Alwtniet if app updates over the coming years matter more than any single service.
The two years cover the parts that do the most work on a projector this small: the fan that runs through every film, the light source, and the swivel joint that turns every night. Keep the box and proof of purchase with the adapter so a claim is simple.
Android 11 also means the Thunrlge will stop receiving new app versions sooner than an Android 14 model. For a Netflix-first household the built-in app is the part that counts, and a TV stick can cover the rest later.
Worth checking before you order:
Yes. Netflix comes built into its Android 11 system, so the app runs on the projector itself.
Yes. Put both on the same Wi-Fi and use Screen Mirroring from Control Center. Paid streaming apps may show a black screen when mirrored, so use the built-in app for those.
Two years from the manufacturer, double the one year most HY300 projectors carry.
From 40 inches at 0.5 m to 130 inches at 3 m. Around 70 to 90 inches suits a dark living room.
No. Focus is manual, while keystone correction is automatic.
