Samsung's New Ultra-Short Throw Projectors: Premiere 7 & 9

Samsung has released its latest ultra-short throw (UST) projectors: Premiere 7 and Premiere 9, bringing the 4K theater experience home. Initially previewed during CES 2024, these projectors are now available, making high-end home cinema accessible with advanced technology.

Laser Technology and Picture Quality

Designed for vivid 4K resolution even in bright environments, UST projectors need to be placed directly under the screen. Both projectors feature AI Upscaling and Vision Booster, enhancing picture quality by adjusting brightness and contrast to suit lighting conditions. The Premiere 7 offers 2,500 ISO lumens and covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, while the more advanced Premiere 9 boasts 3,450 ISO lumens, covering 154% of the DCI-P3 color gamut using triple laser technology for superior picture fidelity.

Smart Features

Running on Samsung’s Tizen OS, both projectors provide access to multiple streaming services like Amazon Prime Video and YouTube. The Gaming Hub further allows cloud-based game streaming directly on the projectors. Other features include a smart speaker mode for music, Tap View and Mirroring for easy content sharing from smartphones, and integration with Samsung’s SmartThings platform for smart home control.

Audio and Ease of Setup

The Premiere 9 includes 40W 2.2.2 channel up-firing speakers with Dolby Atmos, while the Premiere 7 features 30W 2.2ch speakers, both delivering immersive audio without additional equipment. Setup for both projectors is simple: just plug in and connect to Wi-Fi.

Design and Availability

Sporting a minimalist design with a premium Kvadrat fabric finish, these projectors blend seamlessly with home decor. They are compact and easy to set up, maximizing both aesthetic appeal and functionality. Available on Samsung’s digital storefront, Premiere 7 retails for $3,000, whereas Premiere 9 is priced at $6,000. Each purchase comes with a free second-generation Freestyle projector until September 15.
