Home projectors have always been a niche market for consumers. While some enjoy the thought of projecting media onto a wall or surface to enjoy content, others do not.
Samsung’s The Premiere 5 Projector is the latest iteration of its home projector that uses laser technology to bring true-to-life colors at home for movies and other entertainment. The system has an interactive touchscreen that allows users to interact with the projector, like moving around puzzle pieces.
Now, in the past these types of projectors would be so large they had to be installed in a home. Now, they are portable, allowing users to take the projectors with them.
The system uses Samsung’s Neo Quantum processor and a secondary processor from AMD to give it enough power to play 4K content. Samsung, naturally, has its own memory in the system as well for fast and efficient streaming.
The following is a partial deep dive conducted by TechInsights.
