SAMSUNG 130-Inch Class LPU9D Series The Premiere Ultra Short Throw 4K AI Smart TV Triple Laser Projector for Home Theater w/ Gaming Hub, Vision Boost, Powerful Sound, Alexa Built-In, SP-LPU9DSA, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been trying out Samsung's Premiere 7 Laser Projector (LPU7D, 2024), and honestly—it's a really fun way to bring the movie theater home without having to hang a giant TV on the wall. The biggest win is the ultra-short throw design. You can set it just a few inches from the wall and still get a massive screen (up to 120 inches). No ceiling mounts, no messy wires—just drop it on a cabinet and go. The design itself looks clean and modern, so it blends in nicely instead of screaming “projector.” The picture quality is solid—4K via pixel-shift looks sharp, and Samsung's AI upscaling does a decent job making lower-res stuff look better. That said, it's not the brightest projector out there. If you've got a lot of sunlight in your living room, the image can look a little washed out. It really shines in a dark room, though—movies and shows feel way more immersive. I also like that it's basically a smart TV in projector form. You've got Samsung's Tizen OS, streaming apps, even a gaming hub built in. No need for extra boxes unless you want them. The built-in speakers are surprisingly decent too—30 watts with Dolby Atmos. Obviously, a soundbar or surround system is going to beat it, but for casual watching, it's more than fine. If you've got a controlled lighting space and want a stylish, all-in-one projector that doubles as a giant smart TV, the Premiere 7 is a solid pick. It's not the best choice if you're battling a bright room or want absolute top-tier picture quality.
