Magcubic HY450GT Projector vs Magcubic HY450 Short Throw Projector

Both are 1080p ultra-short-throw projectors from Magcubic, so the choice comes down to throw distance and brightness. The HY450GT throws at 1.0:1 with 800 ANSI lumens and runs Google TV; the HY450 throws at 0.6:1 with 900 ANSI lumens and runs Android 14. Buy the HY450 if the projector must sit close to the wall or you want the brighter picture; buy the HY450GT if you want Google TV's app lineup and a longer throw that fits a shelf or ceiling mount. Owners rate the HY450 well, but its 4K/8K claims are upscaling, not native resolution, and neither is a true 4K projector.

• Choose the Magcubic HY450GT if you want Google TV built in and a 1.0:1 throw that works from a shelf or ceiling mount across a 40 to 140-inch screen.
• Choose the Magcubic HY450 if you need the shortest possible throw at 0.6:1, a brighter 900 ANSI picture, and a screen up to 200 inches.
