The new Premiere 8K and Premiere 5 projectors, which were also unveiled at CES 2024, come with a technology known as Lightwarp.
In Las Vegas, Samsung launched new projectors to complete its home entertainment collection. These projectors were introduced alongside the company’s newly released televisions and soundbars. At CES 2024, the firm will be presenting four new Premiere models for consumers to select from. Although the Premiere 8K and Premiere 5 are the two most intriguing models, the entire portfolio for this year will be receiving a feature known as Lightwarp, which transforms any surface or item into an interactive display.
The company Samsung claims that this is the first time that projection mapping has been made available in consumer-grade devices and outside of a professional setting. You have the ability to project any content onto any surface using this application, which includes a dashboard that can be customized and contains widgets for a clock, weather, and other information. Using examples such as writing on sticky notes or playing a tabletop game, the company claims that you will be able to interact with the projection by tapping on it. during this point, there are not a lot of details that are accessible; however, now that the projectors have been announced, we should be able to obtain additional information and possibly even a demonstration during CES.
The company’s Gaming Hub will also be included in the portfolio of projectors that Samsung will release in 2024. With this, you will be able to play thousands of games without the need for a console. When it comes to smart speakers, all four of them can be utilized without the need to turn the screen projection.
A “do-it-all” model is what Samsung refers to as the new Premiere 5 model. The business claims that it is “the world’s most compact triple-laser ultra-short-throw projector,” and that it is 7.9 inches in height, 5.4 inches in width, and 5.4 inches in depth. It weighs only 3.7 pounds, which means that it may be readily moved around your living space because of its low weight. You can beam visuals on tables and desks with the help of a stand that is supplied in the package. The lower stature should come in helpful when moving it about to make use of Lightwarp.
The Samsung Premiere 5 is capable of displaying up to a 100-inch image when it is positioned 17 inches away from a wall. It will automatically adjust for focus and color balance before displaying the image. The Premiere 5 comes equipped with a multi-function key that allows for the change of modes, the connection to mobile devices, and the ability to turn off the screen. Using this final feature, you can effortlessly mirror the display of a smartphone by tapping the device on the projector. Additionally, the audio will remain active while the pictures will be turned off. If and when we learn whether or not this must be a Samsung phone, we will update this site. The company did not specify whether or not this must be a Samsung phone. Additionally, there is a 10-watt speaker that is built in, and the manufacturer claims that it is capable of producing “rich, room-filling sound.”
Premiere 8K is the product that is at the very top of the lineup. As far as Samsung is concerned, this coffee-table-sized device is the first 8K projector that offers wireless connectivity for devices that would normally be connected using cables. A Wireless One Connect Box is the place where you will connect all of your streaming devices and consoles. After that, it will broadcast material to the projector from a distance of up to 10 meters, which is around 33 feet further away.
In addition, the business claims that the Premiere 8K is the first product of its kind to combine a 100-watt output with 8.2.2-channel Dolby Atmos and Sound-on-Screen technology. This is a feature that gives the impression that the audio is originating from the image that is being projected rather than the projector itself. According to Samsung, the competition requires five meters (about 16 feet) to achieve the same level of image resolution as this machine, which can produce a 150-inch image when positioned 12 inches away from a wall. Also, if you are concerned about the absence of 8K content, the projector has technology that can upgrade 4K goods owing to the artificial intelligence that is built into it.
Finally, but certainly not least, Samsung has stated that the Premiere 7 and Premiere 9 are the successors to the Premiere LSP7T and LSP9T alternatives that are now available. There will be a Quantum 4K processor included in both of these short-throw projectors, which will also deliver brighter projection. As part of the company’s commitment to providing “a theater-like experience,” Dolby Atmos sound is also included.
Although Samsung did not make any announcements on pricing or availability, this is not unusual at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). It is common for that information to become available closer to the launch date, and we will keep you updated as new details become available.
