SAMSUNG PROJECTOR DOESN LIVE TO ITS 1080P

Each laser is a pure expression of a primary color, this is what allows it to deliver such a wide color gamut. The light source for the LSP9T uses RGB lasers, and there is no color wheel. The point is, with the 0.66” DMD you are starting off with more native pixels on screen, before pixel-shifting occurs, the result is a sharper image.

The reason this matters is that while the 0.47” chip units claim to put 8.3 million pixels on screen, the problem is those pixels don’t all fit on screen at once, they are too big! So while there are benefits to pixel-shifting a 1080p DMD (a finer pixel grid, for example) the native resolution of the DMD is a limiting factor. The native resolution of this DMD is 2716 x 1528 pixels, which is half the pixel count of native 4K, but also double the pixel count of the 0.47” UHD DMD used in lower tier UST DLP laser projectors, that are actually only 1080p native. This is a DLP projector that uses the Texas Instruments UHD DMD, which relies on pixel-shift tech to render 4K pixels on screen. Focus on this projector is motorized and adjustable using the remote. If you must project on a surface that is less than perfectly flat, this projector includes a screen adjustment option with either four-point or 15-point warping. And if you wish to make the most of this projector in a living room environment, as opposed to a darkened home theater or media room, adding a UST compatible ALR screen is a must. You’ll want to project onto a perfectly flat, perfectly smooth surface, no matter what-that means using a screen, not the bare wall. The “catch” with the more extreme the projection angle of this UST is you need to pay greater attention to certain issues, like screen geometry and surface texture. With other UST projectors I have reviewed, I had to use an extension shelf or pull the credenza away from the wall to make it fit, but with the Samsung that’s not an issue.

With a throw ratio this aggressive, the Samsung is able to deliver its promised 130” picture size while fitting on top of a 24” deep credenza or TV stand. For a 130” image that only increases to 9.4 inches, a remarkable achievement that makes this projector a better “fit” for the living room than other UST projectors I have reviewed. Remarkably, this projector can output a 100-inch picture with the back of the projector only 4.5 inches away from the rear wall, just enough space for fitting the cables. This is the relative distance of the lens versus the screen size.

This projector has familiar Samsung menus and image processing options, allowing experienced calibrators and dedicated enthusiasts many options to teak the image for peak fidelity in a variety of viewing environments.Ī key feature of this projector is the extreme 0.189:1 throw ratio. It’s also spec’d at 105% of rec.2020, which is the widest color gamut currently in use and covers practically every color the human eye can see. Gamut coverage is spec’d at 146% of DCI/P3, which is what’s used to master Ultra HD Blu-rays. By opting for a 3-laser light source and 0.66” DMD, Samsung has created a UST projector that can reproduce extremely vivid color.
