SAMSUNG 130" The Premiere Ultra Short Throw 4K UHD Smart Triple Laser Projector for Home Theater, HDR, 4.2Ch Surround Sound System w/ Alexa Built-In (SP-LSP9TFAXZA, Latest Model)

I was looking for an UST projector and really wanted the LG HU85LA projector which is generally considered one of the best UST projectors out there, but was hard pressed to spend that much and settled on this as a more cost effective approach. If you don't care about the smart TV features and are just going to use it with an Apple TV or something, then you'd probably be better off with the VAVA or an Optoma. I like having only one remote though and think Android TV sucks.I was a little worried about color accuracy as it uses a color wheel instead of 3 lasers like the LG, but I honestly don't think I'd be able to tell a difference. The picture looks great. The image quality does suffer a little bit in super dark scenes, especially in the middle of the day, but then a brightly lit scene will come on and just completely blow you away, so for the increase in size I'd say it is worth it.I bought this with the VAVA 100" light rejecting screen which does a great job of making the screen usable in the day time. That being said, the picture looked pretty dang good on my extremely dark green wall in dim light.I've played some turned based games on my switch on the projector and haven't noticed any lag, but that's hardly a great test. If your into twitchy shooters get a TV with a high refresh rate and lower lag.One thing that is annoying with these UST projectors is they need to be low to the ground and don't leave room for a sound bar. Luckily I found a great stand that is low enough and has a space for a sound bar (And can be even lower if you leave off the bottom legs) on WayFair, Wolla TV Stand for TVs up to 65": https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/zipcode-design-wolla-tv-stand-for-tvs-up-to-65-ar2314.html?piid=32507645Overall I'm extremely happy with my purchase and have not had any issues with it so far. The picture is bright, colorful, and huge. The interface is easy to use and has almost every app I could want (No NBA TV sadly, but that's an NBA issue as it is missing from most smart TVs).

Bought this 2 years ago for 1294$ NEW the item was labeled like new "with damaged package due to handling" they were selling multiple of these at this price i think a truck or shipper damaged several boxes- for this price 2 years AGO I am a happy camper. Can't believe how many people came into my house asking if my projector was a TV. It was the latest tech back then. 2 years later this is still pretty cool but as huge ultra crystal UHD tvs roll out- the just standard 4k is just not good enough. I would rather have a 800$ 100 inch TV. Also the OS is lagggy- & slow- it could be worse (Vizio👎) but it's definitely not a Sony. Overall super cool. Brightness for the price point is not cutting it but for what I paid I'm happy.

Was listed as “unopened,” but the unit had been switched out with a broken model. I ordered this because I was having people over to watch a movie and this put me in a panic to reorder from another vendor. Be careful who you buy from. That said, once I got a working model, this projector solved so many problems. I went from a ceiling mounted component Sony and 4 remotes, to a plug and play system requiring 1 remote. My screen is 110” and all I had to do was place this 14” from the screen. The projection is crystal clear and I couldn’t be happier. Now I need to figure out how to connect my speakers via my receiver. Wish me luck!

Update Nov 16, 2020: Samsung finally reached out to me and a member of their engineering team who works on these projectors called. Clearly knowledgeable. We are working on the focus issue and how to resolve, if possible. Seen some improvement but still not "perfect". That said the LSP7T is far better than the Optoma P1 or P2 and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone vs any of the other sub-4k USTs on the market.Update Nov 6, 2020: Now going on 4 hours spent trying to find a Samsung technical representative that handles these projectors. Spoke to over 10 reps, transferred every time and none say they know anything about these UST projectors. Constant run around and there is NO WAY to reach anyone other than overseas who reads from a script.Original review: I received the projector on October 24th. So far the experience has been pretty good but there are a few issues that I have with the projector that Samsung needs to address before I can rate this thing "5 stars" for the money.First the good:1. Vivid picture with good colors for a projector. I can compare this to the Optoma P1 and P2 and say that it has better picture quality imo, not by a huge amount but enough to give it an edge.2. Software platform is rock solid as you would expect from Samsung. Again, comparing to Optoma it's a night and day difference.3. Connection/HDMI stability is also super rock solid with no issues whatsoever on a variety of sources. In my configuration I'm using a Denon AVC8500H connected to a CAAVO Control Center (and also with the Caavo removed) with multiple sources tested at 4k 60hz and lower resolutions: Xbox One X, Nvidia Shield Pro, Fire TV Stick 4k and Cube, Nintendo Switch and W10 PC with Geforce 2080ti at 4k 60hz. All ran without a hitch. Great!4. Used with an Elite Screens CLR (not the 2 or 3, just the CLR). Great combo. Daytime (slightly light controlled room) and night both looked great (with nighttime obviously looking fantastic).5. Fan noise is non-existent. Completely silent.6. Projector turns on and shuts down perfectly with CEC control.7. Start up time is in seconds (haven't directly timed it but I would put it around 10 seconds). Very good imo.Cons:1. Focus issues at the corners and edges from mid to top. It's enough to be distracting on content with text, lines or other details where sharpness is important. I'm working on contacting Samsung about the issue.2. Some shadow crushing in live content especially in scenes that are generally darkly lit. Not "bad" but as with the focus enough to be distracting. Could be due to calibration but I think it's the nature of the projector. It is not enough for me to dislike the projector it's just something I wish was better.Overall I like the projector more and more as I use it, especially when comparing to the Optoma units I had previously (the P1 and P2). However the focus issue needs addressed and imo should not be present in a $3300 projector. I will update once I hear back from Samsung.Lastly I may move up to the LSP9T at some point depending on what I hear back from Samsung on the focus issue and how much better the blacks/shadows might be on the more expensive unit.
