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.

I bought and highly recommend the aaxa m8 Short Throw Projector. The picture is amazing. The fan is a bit noisy but if you have a sound system the noise is fine. You can find it for under $600. I have had it for a few weeks and love it

New to the budget projector market. I tried an Amazon < $100 (USD) special out of curiosity and was annoyed that the 'native 1080p' was, in fact, 720p, so it went back. Decided to raise my budget to $400 and try the new AAXA M8 that is just coming out. I know there are plenty of used options in that price range, but was hoping for something compact. First impressions of my first laser projector. * True 1080p. Thank you! * I'm sensitive to 'rainbow' artifacts in DLP, but this one doesn't bother me. * Fan is louder than expected. * Image is brighter than expected. (In boost mode.) * Color shifts blue/green in standard and eco brightness modes. I suspect the driving voltages of the lasers is non-linear and should be balanced. I don't know if this is a HW thing or a SW thing. * Remote use is inconsistent and is the only piece of the equipment that feels 'cheap'. When it works, it works great, but sometimes it seems to stop working entirely. * Buttons on unit respond to very light touch. The included mini-tripod is very sensitive to any pressure, though. I like how easy the mini-tripod is to adjust to varying projector locations. * I would have preferred if the power connector was on the side, so I could rest the unit on its back to shoot up when streaming. (Not a deal breaker. I'll see how long the battery lasts.) * The clarity and color are good. * Unit is a little heavier than expected, but it has a battery for disconnected use. * Build quality is solid. * I would've liked a sliding cover for the lens area as I'm worried I'll scratch the lens. * Carrying case was an unexpected part of the package. I'm tempted to pick up the cheaper slc450 for comparison, as I like the shorter throw and would be curious to see the difference in brightness and contrast. (I don't need battery as a power source.) I hope AAXA does a UST lens variation for this projector!

Followup: USB-C display connection does not work with MacOS. HDMI connection directly from Mac works. HDMI connection via usb-c to HDMI adapter does not work. The device reports itself as an AAXA P7+ when connecting via HDMI. Someone forgot to update that. A keyboard can be plugged into USB slot and types, but the browser app doesn't respect 'enter'. Airplay from a computer works okay at the lower supported resolution, but is very sluggish with the 'experimental' Full HD mode. IR detection is on rear of unit, not labeled in manual. Knowing where to point the remote makes it work better. Mouse mode is best for emergency use only. The fan noise may be a deal-breaker for me. The remote uses the same codes as a non-media appliance in my house.

4K? No. 1080p.. close. I'd say the AAXA M8 is probably the best sub $500 laser projector you can get. Its only 1080p native, but has 3 lasers not 1, and can support 4K downscaling to 1080p which looks damn good. It's not super bright but plenty bright for a 100" to 120" screen in a dark room. Slightly more is their M8 UST model, which is similar in specs. If 4K is your game, you'll jumping to $1K or so or more.
