FULL STORY ======================================================================

Back during CES 2024, Samsung previewed four tantalizing ultra-short throw (UST) projectors . Weve heard very little about them since then, however, out of nowhere, the tech giant decided to launch two of the quartet: the Premiere 7 and Premiere 9 .

To understand what makes these so good (and expensive), you first need to understand what ultra short throw means. UST is an alternative to long-throw projectors as they need to be placed directly underneath a wall or screen.
Its a configuration that allows these devices to output vivid images even in bright environments and this is exactly what Samsungs new models deliver.

Both projectors deliver 4K resolution video with a myriad of features providing further enhancement. They offer AI Upscaling, ensuring content is shown off in ultra-high resolution, and Vision Booster. The latter allows the Premiere duo to automatically adjust brightness and contrast [across] various lighting conditions. Whats more, support for HDR10 Plus maintains visual clarity.

Samsungs projectors run on the companys Tizen OS which gives access to multiple streaming services from Amazon Prime Video to YouTube. The Gaming
Hub delivers a similar experience to gamers by letting them enjoy cloud-based titles directly through the projector.

Other notable features include a smart speaker mode solely for music, Mirroring for sharing content from a smartphone, and integration with
Samsungs SmartThings platform for controlling smart home devices. Design differences

There are several differences between the two. Although both can display 4K resolution, their respective image quality isnt the same. The Premiere 7 covers 100 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut and its video output has a maximum brightness of 2,500 ISO lumens.

The Premiere 9 goes beyond this by covering 154 percent of the DCI-P3
standard and boasts a max brightness of 3,450 ISO lumens. It also comes with triple laser technology for even better visual fidelity. And the device
houses 40W 2.2.2 up-firing speakers. Samsungs Premiere 7 only sports a 30W 2.2ch speaker system.

Another major benefit is theyre easy to set up. Samsung states all you have
to do is plug in either Premiere model and connect it to Wi-Fi. Its that simple.

Be prepared to shell out a ton of cash if youre interested in buying either one. The Premiere 7 retails for $3,000 while the Premiere 9 costs $6,000 on Samsungs digital storefront. To further entice buyers, Samsung is offering a free second-generation Freestyle projector . Youll need to act fast because this deal will only be available until September 15.
