What They Say
Samsung’s Visual Display business announced a couple of new 4K laser projectors, the LSP9T and LSP7T which are intended to create images of 130″ and 120″, respectively. The projectors fit into the ‘Lifestyle’ products such as the Serif, the Frame and the Terrace. Price and delivery dates are yet to be announced.
What We Think
I cannot tell a lie – I am completely confused by this announcement. Samsung has not been in the projector business and to enter it at the moment seems, frankly, perverse. On the one hand, it does fit into the development of the HDR10+ environment (it’s the first projector to support the technology), but the whole projection segment is under significant pressure at the moment and we keep hearing rumours about a significant brand dropping out by the end of the year. The projector is said to be ‘triple laser’ but I would be surprised if it did use RGB lasers. More will be clear as we get nearer to the release date, I guess. (BR)
