Form factorBasic form of the projector, in this order: if it sits right in front of the wall as an ultra-short-throw unit, it is a laser TV. If it has a built-in battery, it is mini & portable – even with a stand. A swivel stand or gimbal without a battery means compact with swivel stand. Everything else is classic, for table or ceiling.

Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Dangbei MP1 Max ist ein heller 4K-Beamer fürs Wohnzimmer: 3.100 ISO-Lumen halten ein 100-Zoll-Bild auch bei Restlicht gut erkennbar, Google TV mit Netflix läuft ohne Stick. Der Haken liegt beim Drumherum: Für Filme brauchst du eine Soundbar, die Menüs werden mit der Zeit träge, und im Hochleistungsmodus rauscht der Lüfter mit 52 dB. Steht die Soundbar schon da, bekommst du ein starkes, farbkräftiges Bild.

Pros

  • 3.100 ISO-Lumen halten ein 100-Zoll-Bild bei Restlicht gut erkennbar
  • Scharfes, farbkräftiges Bild mit sauberem HDR10, HDR10+ und HLG
  • Google TV mit offizieller Netflix-App und Chromecast
  • Schwenkfuß mit 360 Grad Drehung und 135 Grad Neigung bis zur Decke
  • Autofokus und Trapezkorrektur richten das Bild meist selbst aus
  • Kaum Regenbogeneffekte, gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung

Cons

  • Zwei 12-W-Lautsprecher zu schwach für Actionfilme
  • Menüs ruckeln und reagieren mit der Zeit verzögert
  • Hochleistungsmodus mit grünstichigem Bild und rund 52 dB Lüfter
  • Schwarz wird schon bei wenig Restlicht grau
  • Fernbedienung unbeleuchtet, Betriebs-LED nicht abschaltbar

Der Samsung The Premiere 5 ist ein kompakter Ultrakurzdistanz-Beamer, der aus 43 cm Abstand 100 Zoll an die Wand wirft. Er bringt guten Klang, Netflix ohne Stick und eine Touch-Projektion auf dem Tisch, die vor allem Kindern Spaß macht. Der Haken: Full HD mit 560 ISO-Lumen reicht nur bei Dunkelheit, und mit 140 ms Input Lag taugt er kaum für schnelle Spiele.

Pros

  • 100 Zoll Bild aus nur 43 cm Wandabstand
  • Kräftiger, klarer Klang aus 10 W Stereolautsprechern
  • Farbtreu mit ΔE unter 1,5 und voller DCI-P3-Abdeckung
  • Mit 1,8 kg leicht von Raum zu Raum zu tragen
  • Offizielle Netflix-App und große Streamingdienste unter Tizen
  • Leiser Lüfter mit 28 dB

Cons

  • Mit 560 ISO-Lumen bei Tageslicht blass
  • Nur natives Full HD, Bild eher weich an Kanten
  • 140 ms Input Lag und 60 Hz, ungeeignet für schnelle Spiele
  • Touch-Erkennung startet nur auf matten Flächen bei gedämpftem Licht
  • Nur Micro-HDMI 1.4, passendes Kabel liegt nicht bei
