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=32507645 Overall 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).

It’s a cool product, and I specifically went with this over other models because it has an ATSC tuner, which is great. We enjoyed it for three weeks. Then the day before the Super Bowl, the picture went out. The sound still works, but the image is a black glow. We can’t even access settings or menus. Hopefully the warranty process is smooth, but quite frankly, a product that sells for thousands of dollars needs to be of better quality. UPDATE: The total turnaround time for the repair, with shipping, was a week and a half. The repaired device worked well for two days until we started experiencing startup problems at least once or twice per day. This time, however, the startup problems could be solved by unplugging the power and restarting. Still not acceptable. A little internet research said that turning off HDMI-CEC would fix the startup problem, so we went ahead and turned that off. It seems to be functioning normally now, but as mentioned originally, these are all quality problems that an expensive piece of equipment shouldn’t have. SOUND: Samsung focuses much of their advertising on how great the audio is. By design, it’s basically a soundbar bolted to the front of the device, which is an ideal layout. While the sound certainly isn’t bad, it’s worth noting that you cannot add a subwoofer without completely excluding the projector speakers and replacing them with externals. This is a frustrating oversight from what is supposed to be one of the world’s top technology companies.

its good. Gaming does not have noticeable delay, but alot of these things are broken. Read the reviews. Mine came to my home and the 2nd hdmi port loses signal. Now the sound keeps cutting out. Samsung need to work the bugs out. I herd the 130 one is better built. I like this projector alot and I'm going to see if the 130 is better. If so im keeping it. But alot of them are defective. Be aware. Up date. I bought the 130. I got it used because 6,500 was just too much. All in all after taxes I paid 6000. Still high. Now. The three laser will blow you away. I've always wanted a projector that just did not have that washed out look. I want the colors to be as vivid as an oled or a qled. This thing is way more vivid than an oled. imagine having a laser pointer and point it at the wall. Those are your colors. You have laser colors. Deep vivid saturated blues, red,greens purple and the black are deep. Im keeping it. Now there are issues. The hdmi port has not gone out but the sound has stopped once in a while in the middle of a movie. The sound on the 130 is incredible. Oh my gosh this thing as speakes. Way way louder then the 120. I have gone through projector and projector to find the right one. I notice those small things that normal customers don't. There is no ghosting when playing games. The input lag is good. I dont know what it is but its very very reasonable. If you owned the optimal p2, its better then that one. I was impressed by the p2 as well but the game input lag was ridiculous. Oh and the Epson ls5000. Thise colors are sooo washed out but game lag is almost not even there. The ls3000 has better colors but you won't get a 4k picture. Its pretty crisp though and the colors are good. Not as good as the optima p2. You want amazing looking colors deep black crisp picture and a banging sound system the samsung is it. Its good. Samsung needs to iron out the kinks though. Once they do. Wow just wow.

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.

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.

This projector is awesome!! Like, super awesome. All of my other TV's are Samsung, huge plus that I can turn on this unit and it works just like the others, choose Amazon/Spectrum/Movies/other apps. Set up was super easy. I'm not sure how big my screen is (110" maybe). It fit perfectly with only adjusting the front two legs. Picture is super clean (better than my old projector). Considering I don't know how to set up anything in my media room, and all the components have been sitting there for years (my ex took half of the system), it was a huge bonus that all I had to do was plug this in. I can't say enough how ecstatic I am with this purchase. Price - is not cheap, but if I bought a high-end projector, and hired someone to set the system up, probably having to upgrade other components, and waited for everything to get set up properly, I probably would've spent the same amount of $ anyway, and a lot more time getting it set up. Hopefully it will eventually work with maybe some wireless speakers if I upgrade my wall speakers/components, but for the time being I'm delighted.

I was sold a defective product that does not work. I have not had a chance to even use this machine. It works when it want to. Samsung doesn't know how to fix it even though they received and returned it to me. They said it was fixed but then I showed them this again and they said "oh, we are sorry to see that". It's been going to repairs 1.5 months after purchase. SAVE yourself the headache - great idea as a projector but terrible equipment. I'm a Samsung fan - all my tvs are Samsung except for one which is an LG and I don't like the LG but after this type of issue and service my recommendation is to stay away! All I want is to use my projector and I've been left without a functioning device since day 1. If you see anything like this on day 1, don't assume it is a glitch - the product is defective. In fact, when I told Samsung I just bought this, they said the machine is from last year and most likely had an issue prior to you receiving it suggesting that the product from what they see was not new. There's no way to contact the seller but still looking a way to contact them. To the seller - If you are reading this please feel free to contact me!

Bought it 5 months ago and couldn't be happier. I read some of the reviews and was a little nervous to buy it but 5 months in I can tell you it exceeds all expectations and I use it daily. I own a few of the Samsung 8k TVs and the picture on the projector isn't as quite as good as the TVs but I did not expect it to be since its a projector. However, it is still 130 inches of a fantastic picture and one of my favorite purchases I've ever made. I use it for mostly work presentations but it is like having your own personal movie theater. NOTE: The picture was a little distorted in the corners at first but it worked itself out within a couple weeks. The distortions in the corners were very minor and not enough for me to consider return. Also, I am not going to nominate the sound for any awards. If your intentions are to use this as a full blown movie theater I would look into a surround sound system.
