Loving the Samsung LPU9D. Assuming you can get it for around 5k. Black levels coming from an OLED are better than I thought they'd be. Quality for 4k content is amazing too.
r/projectors ⢠2025 4K projector recommendations? ->I'm still loving my LPU9D. Probably can get one around 5k. I have 7.2.2 surround but the internal speakers are actually pretty good too.
r/projectors ⢠Seeking advice for next projector. Budget is $5,000. ->Samsung triple laser 4k UST
r/projectors ⢠Best laser projector for under 5k ->Edited to sound less advertise-y: RGB triple laser colors ABSOLUTELY pop! The brightness of 3450 Lumens really makes a difference compared to an older UST I used to own that did 2200. This thing is able to display a huge up-to-130ā picture on the wall or if you have an optional ALR (ambient light rejecting) projection screen, then typically you get better contrast at the expense of slightly lowered brightness - which, in the case of this UST is no issue cuz it's got so much to begin with. I believe I read somewhere the 3450 ISO lumens equal something like 3200 ANSI lumens. I'm projecting onto a 100" lenticular ALR gray projection screen with a gain of 0.6. Man, having a home theatre experience like this is phenomenal. Might even be better than movie theatres for two reasons: So personally, I prefer a brighter picture that's a bit more vivid than your typical reference colors and brightness. Samsung's The Premiere 9 is able to get as bright as most modern TVs, according to the conversion of lumens to nits, it's like 930 nits. So even during the day in my room that has some ambient light, watching with this is perfectly fine. My previous UST would end up looking slightly washed out and dim. At night, of course, The Premiere 9 is unleashed. Wow! The contrast bumps up to near perfect levels - I'm gonna post more videos on my new channel with night footage. For now I have just an unboxing and daytime impressions uploaded: https://youtu.be/GLtovdQraPM?si=bkvt3osItfqtc50s Something else that blew my socks off, was The Premiere 9's gaming performance. Games are demanding, with the Metadata of HDR being so dynamic and I was simply not expecting it to be this bright and sharp! I tested an Xbox Series X & PS5 connected to it, and fired up a few games and "jaw dropping" is all I have to say. Colors in games are typically exaggerated VS films and boy, video games really let this projector stretch its legs. You can also really see the benefit of the .66" DMD chip over the smaller, less resolution .47" chip in gaming, as the 4K output on the Series X and PS5 look breathtakingly crisp and clean. Having a full Game Mode suite of features, like ALLM, HGiG, Active Tone Mapping (DTM), the projector has smooth & fluid motion and displays games at their max fidelity. The built-in 2.2.2 speakers provide a very capable audio output if you don't have a dedicated sound bar or surround system. Clear, loud and detailed audio is always welcome, especially in a pinch and speaking of audio/noise - the fans on this thing are whisper quiet when watching anything at a typical normal volume so thats practically a non-issue! The projector is light at 28 lbs and portable - you can literally take this to a friend's house. It also has eARC on HDMI1, which I connected to an Atmos 11.1.4 surround system.... O.M.G. Movies and games on a big screen in true surround sound with height effects. Who needs a theatre?! All in all I'm beyond impressed and blown away by this ultra short throw projector and would recommend it as paramount to anyone looking for that huge home theatre wow factor. Please feel free to ask me anything, ask for examples to post and I'll try my level best, plus I'd love to see what you guys would wanna know!
