Compared with the previous generation SS1, the OVO SS2 is relatively larger in size and weight, with the total weight coming to around 1968g. As for short-throw projectors, most of them are often used at home or indoors and are less likely to be taken out, so I think the weight issue is a trivial matter:
The overall appearance is not much different from the previous generation SS1. The main difference in appearance is probably that it has become more rounded and the height has also become higher:
The most important projection technology has also been slightly improved in this generation. It also uses three-color lasers and has 110% BT.2020 color performance, which can display an ultra-wide color gamut that is comparable to or surpasses OLED TVs. The brightness has also been increased to 1,300 ANSI lumens, the throw ratio has been shortened to 0.18:1, and the picture projected close to the wall has also become larger:
The sound output has also been upgraded to 20W * 2 specifications, and the sound performance has become more shocking. There will be a demonstration video later:
There are all the required connection ports, including HDMI, USB-A*2, DC charging hole, PD Type-C charging hole, and the physical button only has a power switch:
Compared with SS1 which has a built-in 18,000mAh battery, this generation of OVO SS2 does not have a built-in battery design and must rely on the power cord for power supply. In addition to using the original included transformer, you can also use the PD 65W charger to connect the optional Type-C to DC cable for power supply:
You can even directly use the PD 65W charger or mobile power supply and plug it into the PD Type-C charging hole for charging. Even if you don’t have a DC charger at hand, you can still supply power in this way, which is very convenient!
The bottom of the fuselage has an anti-slip pad and a 1/4 screw hole, which can be placed stably on the table and used for projection with a tripod:
The most special design of this appearance is the LED light bar on the front of the bottom, which can add a sense of atmosphere to the environment when turned on:

The biggest feature of short-throw projectors is that they can be directly attached to the wall for projection. In the state of direct attachment to the wall, the projection screen can be visually estimated to be about 4X inches. For people with limited space at home, this feature is very suitable for use in small spaces. However, one thing that requires special attention when using a short-throw projector is that it relies heavily on a flat surface for projection. The wall where I am currently projecting is not that flat, so the surrounding corners are slightly deformed. If this is projected on a professional projection screen, the effect will be much better and even very smooth. If you attach great importance to viewing quality, it is recommended to buy a professional projection screen for use:
Since close-range projection already has a full projection screen, a large screen of about 100 inches can be projected about 40cm away from the wall. Due to the low ceiling height of my indoor space and the fact that I project on a table, the projection images that can be presented are very limited:
With my current projection method, the image I can present is about 7x-8x inches. If you buy a TV for such a viewing effect, it will definitely take up a lot of space. Through projection features like OVO SS2, you can watch a 100-inch large screen in one second at home:
The homepage features OVO’s own OVO TV OS. You can quickly watch Channel 4 of Four Seasons Online Movies on the channel on the homepage. There are some built-in free channels to watch. If you want to watch more channels, you have to spend additional money to purchase the Four Seasons Online plan:
If you want to expand a variety of audio and video apps, you can also add apps through OVO’s own app store:
Common YouTube, friDay, LINE TV, etc. are available:
If the older generation in your family likes to watch Channel 4, it is highly recommended to spend money to purchase the Four Seasons online Channel 4 service. The cost is also cheaper than traditional Channel 4 operators:
OVO SS2 supports Eshare wireless projection function, and can also use AirPlay, Miracast, GoogleCast… and other projection functions:
If you want to enjoy the videos and photos in your mobile phone album on the projector, you can easily do so through the wireless projection function:

In terms of correction functions, it supports manual/automatic keystone correction, automatic/manual focus, and automatic correction:
There is also a manual focus button on the remote control to quickly adjust the focus of the picture:
The highlight of the appearance of the fuselage this time is the LED light bar. You can choose between three modes: off/rhythm mode/constant light… and you can change the detailed functions:
Constant light is simpler, choose the color you like, and the LED light strip will emit light of that color. If you want to use a projector to create a sense of atmosphere, I think this LED light bar has a good design:
If you are listening to some more dynamic music or having a party while watching movies, then the rhythm mode lighting effect is very suitable for use in this kind of atmosphere:
The built-in HDMI port allows you to easily connect computers, TV game consoles, mobile phones, etc.:
Tired of watching movies and want to listen to some music? OVO SS2 also has a built-in Bluetooth audio mode. As long as this function is turned on, the projection function will be temporarily turned off. Users can connect mobile phones, tablets, etc. via Bluetooth to play music:
The 20W*2 dual-channel speakers upgraded this time are really impressive. When used in indoor spaces, they can be said to be majestic (in terms of the sound effects of the projector), especially the low-frequency part, which is thick and solid without being dull. Whether you are watching an action movie or listening to party music, you can feel the shock:
If you are a reader who often follows our channel, you will notice one thing when we introduce OVO products, that is, most of OVO’s high-end models are equipped with OVO TV OS + Google TV dual system. Users who want to watch Channel 4 or use HDMI or mobile phone projection can do so using OVO TV OS; but if they want to be deeply linked to their own Google account, the services and recommended content provided by Google TV will be more suitable for users who frequently use Google services:
Switching is also quite easy. Press the confirm button in the window that switches to Google TV on the home page, and the system will quickly switch to Google TV:
In the Google TV system, you can install tons of applications. You can even download officially authorized apps like Netflix and Disney+, which is one of the benefits of using the Google TV system:
And once your account is linked to these audio-visual platforms, the system will further recommend new albums or unfinished videos for users to quickly browse based on your viewing preferences and viewing records. This is still used today, and I can say that it is very popular with me:

First, let’s use YouTube, which is most commonly used by everyone, as a playback test:
OVO SS2 supports 4K decoding and 1080P image quality output. On YouTube’s quality menu, you can set 2160P:
First of all, the flickering phenomenon in the video is caused by the flickering frequency of the laser light source. If the camera shutter speed is adjusted to a slower speed, the picture speed will be very strange. Please forgive me for this. OVO SS2 is equipped with the “RGB triple laser” that is only seen in high-end laser TVs, which makes its color performance extremely saturated (color gamut reaches 110% BT.2020), and the three-dimensional sense and color brightness of the picture are very beautiful. Plus 1300 ANSI lumens of brightness,When the lights are all dimmed,Coupled with the huge 120-inch screen,The immersive feeling of being “enveloped by light and shadow” really cannot be overstated.Turn your home into your own laser screening room instantly:
If you look closely at the details, the picture is still smooth and solid, and the details of the bird’s feathers in the picture can be presented well. However, after all, the projection wall is not a flat white wall, so the details are not so good:
Because it is equipped with the Google TV system, audio and video platforms such as Netflix, Disney+… can be watched with the highest picture quality:
Are you still using a small tablet or a 4X~5X inch TV to catch up on dramas at home? Or are you unable to get a device with a large screen to watch because of the small space at home? Now just place this OVO SS2 gently against the TV cabinet and you can instantly unlock a 100 to 120-inch giant screen view. That kind of immersive feeling where the characters are presented almost 1:1 in front of you, turning the living room into a movie theater. Once you experience it, you really can’t go back to the small screen!
In addition to turning on and off the OVO SS2 and adjusting the volume, the remote control of OVO SS2 can also quickly execute well-known audio and video platform apps, and can even use voice search functions:
Just use the command, and the system will quickly find the video you want to watch. You no longer have to use the remote control to select words, which is very convenient!
Built-in KTV system, you can sing at home
Recently, OVO has been really interested in developing this KTV system. It can be said that it has greatly improved the entertainment effect. No one thought that a projector can be used for singing before, right? OVO SS2 has a built-in DSP karaoke system and comes with two rose gold microphones:
The microphone also comes with a flannel cover for protection:
Open the bottom of the microphone to see the volume adjustment keys:
The battery used is AA battery*2. It is recommended to use a battery that will not leak:
Here Ada also simply tries his skills and makes a fool of himself! The effect of this KTV system equipped with dual 20W stereo speakers is really impressive. Although it cannot match the effect of singing in a KTV box, as far as the singing effect is concerned, it is enough to simply sing and practice singing at home when you are bored! It can also help you save money on going to KTV, and you don’t need to compete with friends for mics. You can sing whenever you want. But after all, this is just a projector and not a professional KTV, so most of the songs that can be sung can only be found through the Internet. If there is no accompaniment, you may have to play the MV directly or hum the song:

OVO SS2 usage experience
In summary, OVO SS2 successfully breaks the stereotype of short-throw projectors as “bulky and expensive”. At a relatively affordable price, you can have RGB three-laser saturated colors that are only available in high-end models, and you don’t need to spend a lot of money or worry about having to go to the middle of your home to have a 100-inch wall-mounted giant screen experience at close range. It also has many advantages, including the high mobility of PD power supply, convenient dual system switching between OVO and Google, the addition of a KTV system for entertainment, and excellent projection specifications and color performance. These advantages should make it a very cost-effective choice for renters with limited space, or for petty-bourgeois gamers who like to move devices flexibly between the living room and bedroom:
