I spent close to $1,000 on this projector and so far I’m really happy with it. I was using an LG CineBeam before, and this feels like a solid upgrade. The picture is sharp and bright, gaming feels smooth with very little delay, and the built-in speakers are actually better than I expected. If you sit very close to a large image, you can notice a little grain, but from a normal viewing distance it looks great. For me, it makes more sense than buying a big 4K TV because we can easily pack it up and take it with us when travelling. Google TV can feel a little slow sometimes, but overall it still works much better than what I had on the LG.
Outdoor movie night with the kids. Once it's dark the picture pops. Google TV is convenient. Battery on the remote died after two weeks though, weird.

I have been using this projector for a little while now, and I am genuinely impressed with it. I expected something decent for the price, but it turned out to be much better than I thought. Setup was incredibly easy. The auto keystone worked almost immediately, so I was watching a movie within a couple of minutes. The image quality is excellent. It is bright, sharp, and detailed, and even on a large screen the picture stays clear. I have watched movies, live sports, and YouTube, and everything looks great. The HDR support also makes colors look more natural, especially when watching movies at night. The built in Android system has been easy to use. I was able to access Netflix and my other streaming apps without needing to connect another device, which keeps everything simple. The menus are responsive, and the voice control is a nice bonus when searching for content. I was also pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. The speakers are much louder than I expected and clear enough that I have not felt the need to connect an external speaker for everyday viewing. Another thing I like is the compact design. I do not have a huge room, Overall, this projector has exceeded my expectations. It offers excellent picture quality, easy setup, solid sound, and smart features that make it enjoyable to use every day. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a home theater projector without spending a fortune.
Returned the first one (overheating). Second unit has been fine so far. Support was decent about the exchange.
I use it as a backyard projector mostly because it is bright enough after dark, love to see late movie nights as a retired old man!

The BOSS S8A native display resolution is 1920 × 1080 Full HD.
The S8A accepts compatible 4K input and displays it at its native 1920 × 1080 Full HD resolution.
Start between 80 and 150 inches for a useful balance of image brightness and clarity. Around 100 inches works well in many controlled-light rooms.
The S8A provides automatic focus and keystone controls. A centred, level position still gives the best use of the Full HD image.

Check focus after the projector reaches operating temperature, after moving it, or after changing image size. Confirm the screen is flat before relying on digital correction.

*Note
Specification note: Native resolution and supported input resolution are different measurements. Brightness figures shown as “lumens” are manufacturer ratings unless an ANSI or ISO measurement is explicitly stated. For daytime viewing, room-light control and the screen remain important.
1. The actual size varies based on configuration, manufacturing, and measurement method.
2. The actual weight varies based on configuration, manufacturing process, and measurement method.
3. For the optimal viewing quality, we recommend a projection size between 80'' and 150'' for the best balance of immersion and image clarity, with 100'' offering the best overall viewing experience. Projections beyond this range may reduce sharpness and brightness. Final display performance depends on product usage habits and environmental conditions.
4. The actual storage capacity is subject to change based on various factors, such as system usage, software version, and settings used.
5. Measured under an ambient temperature of 25°C with 1 meter distance from the machine. Results may vary based on different testing environments, conditions, and the product being evaluated.
6. The projection image must fully cover the screen's border edges to ensure proper detection. For best results, use a screen with black borders to improve recognition accuracy.
7. Due to environmental complexities, Obstacle Avoidance does not guarantee the avoidance of all obstacles.
8. This feature requires manual activation.
