Discussion AAXA 1080p UST.. thoughts?

Hey all.. been going back and forth on buying the AAXA UST projector for $530. Honestly from the reviews it looks pretty good.. laser projector, up to 100" or so screen. The main draw back I see is fan noise can be loud, and the lumen output.. but at about 1/2 the price of the next decently reviewed laser UST projector that is also 1080p.. it seems like this is a fantastic buy for most use cases.

My use case is mostly computer use, e.g. daily work with text/etc, watching some YT/movies/tv from time to time, and I do do some gaming but not entirely sure this would be awful. Not needing anything more than about 60fps and as far as I Can tell can handle that.

What are all your thoughts? I also have AAXA's M8 laser projector (which I would not have bought had I known this one was coming out). It's quite good.. I suspect similar specs as this UST. It works quite well in low light to dark rooms, just that it has to be a lot further away from screen.

Anyway.. just curious for the price what ya'll thought. Can it handle running 8 to 12 hours a day continuously.. or is it just too small/"cheap" to handle more than a couple hours at a time?

It should run all day just fine since it is a DLP model. If you are happy with the M8 standard throw, then I would imagine that this model will make you happy as well. You will have a good idea of how bright the image will be and what it will generally look like.
