Samsung wants your wall, for a new 130-inch big screen experience
Big screens are undeniably addictive. Whether you're gaming, gathering for family movie night, or filling the wall with your sport of choice, nothing beats a giant picture to bring home entertainment to life with irresistible impact. The size of televisions is increasing every year, but conventional and LED television screens cannot go further. For a truly massive picture, home theater projectors have always been the go-to technology. And in 2020, they're ready to take on the TVs in the battle for your living room. Traditionally, projectors have not been the most practical devices. The setup was complicated by the need to mount them to the ceiling and run long cables to them, combined with the inability to overcome ambient light during the day and the need for a separate audio system to accompany your footage. This is all changing thanks to a relatively new development: Ultra Short Throw (UST) technology, which allows the projector to sit close to the projection surface. It can be placed above your entertainment unit where you would normally place a TV, for example, casting its light directly up a wall or screen to produce images 100 inches diagonally and larger². Samsung's new Premiere LSP9T smart UST projector, for example, can produce a massive 130”³ 4K image from a position just 24cm from the wall – the size of four 65” TVs combined. Best of all, UST projectors like The Premiere can compete with conventional televisions with the addition of a TV tuner, Smart-TV interface, network connections, Internet access for video streaming services, and even systems. immersive audio, which means they are complete entertainment. solution, combining the best of TV and projector into a new generation of big screen entertainment.

A new kind of light show

Today's best UST projectors also differ from their predecessors in the core technology that powers them, with laser projectors significantly outperforming their older LCD or DLP predecessors. The light source used is not an old fashioned projection lamp (which darkens over time and needs to be replaced) as it has been replaced with a more energy efficient LED. The Premiere LSP9T uses a comprehensive triple laser system that offers multiple benefits, including the lifespan of LED projectors, which can last up to 20.000 hours of use – two movies a night for 18 years or 8 hours. of play per day for almost 7 years. For gamers, The Premiere also includes a Game Enhancer option, which optimizes color and contrast⁴ while reducing latency to the advertised 53ms, all to help you get the victory you deserve. Its image resolution is of course Ultra High Definition (also known as 4K). Projectors were much slower to switch to 4K than TVs; some projectors that advertise "4K" will accept 4K input, but can only deliver half that resolution on the screen. Samsung's The Premiere offers full pixel count to ensure the best possible detail and sharp UHD images for a complete cinematic presentation. When it comes to high dynamic range support, not that far from projection strength, the Premiere LSP9T reclaims its status as the first HDR10+ certified projector. Meanwhile, the brightness of this LSP9T's triple laser source delivers an ANSI⁵-rated 2800 lumens, bright enough to create a vibrant, readable image even without a screen: "A white wall is all you need" is the official requirement. are some strong arguments for adding a proper screen with a Ceiling Light Rejection (CLR) surface. This greatly reduces light from the projector bouncing off the ceiling to wash out the image and create ceiling glare. Samsung's partners in Elite Screens claim a 100x contrast improvement over standard matte white projection screens, offering neutral color temperatures for natural images and wide viewing angles. Using such a light-rejecting screen doubles the image brightness and further enhances the ability to enjoy content even during the day.

Smart, full-bodied sound

Two key final features turn The Premiere from a projector into a complete entertainment solution. A first for the LSP9T is the inclusion of an immersive 4.2 channel⁷ audio system in the compact body, with dual tweeters, dual woofers and Acoustic Beam technology and 40W RMS total power. (LSP7T has 2.2 channel sound without acoustic beam and 30W RMS). It's like a built-in sound bar, capable of delivering sound from games, movies and sports without the need for an external audio system. The second feature is Samsung's famous Smart TV platform, so The Premiere works like a TV. You're ready to stream Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+, YouTube, Optus Sport, Foxtel, Kayo and more right out of the box, with a host of other apps available. ⁸ Mobile connectivity is available. also unmatched, with a simple "Tap to connect" connecting your compatible phone to The Premiere for seamless playback on this huge screen. There are even several built-in voice assistants, including Samsung's Alexa and Bixby, so you can control your movie entertainment without even reaching for the remote.

The other great feature of UST projectors is that they are incredibly easy to move or even pack up and take with you, so you can use them in the kid's room or even take them on vacation.
