Samsung has unveiled its latest portable projectors, which may soon have you reconsidering the traditional TV setup in your home. The Premiere 5 and The Premiere 8K projectors offer impressive features that prioritize versatility and image quality.
The Premiere 5 stands out for its lightweight design, weighing just 3.7 lbs, making it easy to move around the house. Despite its compact size, it can project a 100-inch image from just 17 inches away from the wall. This ultra-short-throw laser projector delivers a simple home theater experience and offers a range of functionalities. It can be used as a second monitor for work, a screen mirror for smartphones or other devices, a Bluetooth speaker, or even as a simulated window for your room. Samsung has also developed a tabletop accessory stand, allowing users to project an interactive display directly onto their desk or workspace.
On the other hand, the much-anticipated Premiere 8K projector, first previewed at CES 2023, promises to deliver an extraordinary viewing experience. The projector uses a Wireless One Connect Box, transmitting content to the device within a range of 10 meters or approximately 32 feet. This wireless feature eliminates the need for cumbersome wires and allows you to keep your viewing area clutter-free. The Premiere 8K can project a remarkable 150-inch image from just 12 inches away from the wall.
Both projectors come equipped with the Lightwarp feature, which enables projection mapping onto various objects or surfaces. This feature allows users to transform irregular surfaces into interactive dashboards, complete with customizable widgets.
While Samsung has not yet disclosed pricing or release details, you can get a firsthand look at these innovative projectors at CES 2024, starting on January 9.
In addition to the new projectors, Samsung is also refreshing its existing 120-inch and 130-inch Premiere models. These models, now known as The Premiere 7 and The Premiere 9, respectively, will boast brighter images, a new processor, and Dolby Atmos sound.
Samsung has certainly demonstrated its commitment to pushing the boundaries of home entertainment with these new projectors. By offering lightweight and versatile options, as well as cutting-edge technology like wireless connectivity and projection mapping, Samsung aims to provide users with an unparalleled viewing experience. Whether you’re considering upgrading your current TV or embracing a more flexible home theater setup, Samsung’s new portable projectors may just convince you to ditch the traditional television for good.
