The ultra-short-throw projector industry is so popular that Samsung decided to re-enter it with two models as part of its Lifestyle TV line. The premium variant, the $5,500 LSP9T, comes with some premium specifications. It spans 106 per cent of the whole Rec.2020 colour spectrum (147 per cent of DCI-P3) with individual red, green, and blue lasers – something we’ve seldom if ever, seen on any TV or even pro monitor.
It has a 2,800-lumen output and a 1,500:1 ANSI contrast ratio. Because it employs TI’s higher-resolution 0.66-inch DLP chip (with pixel shifting), you get as close to real 4K as you can without purchasing a native 4K projector. Finally, the LSP9T is the market’s first projector certified for HDR10+ – Samsung’s equivalent to Dolby Vision. In addition, the LSP9T provides 40 watts of audio using Samsung’s Acoustic Beam technology, as well as Samsung’s highly-regarded Tizen-powered Smart TV platform.

Hisense’s new $4,300 flagship UST employs a multicoloured laser to produce great brightness (3,000 ANSI lumens) and an astounding 107 per cent BT.2020 HDR coverage, outperforming even Samsung’s powerful LSP9T. It comes with a strong 40W Dolby Atmos sound system and an Android TV with Google Assistant and Alexa integrated in. Best of all, that price includes a 100-inch ALR Daylight screen, or you can upgrade to a 120-inch ALR movie screen for an additional $500.
