Cosmos 4K SE
The Premiere 5
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 Nebula Cosmos 4K SE ist ein bequemer 4K-Allrounder fürs abgedunkelte Wohnzimmer: Google TV mit offiziellem Netflix, kräftige 30-W-Lautsprecher und Autofokus stecken in einem tragbaren Gehäuse. In den Filmmodi kommen rund 1.300 statt 1.800 ANSI-Lumen an. Der Haken ist graues Schwarz bei nativ 400:1, dunkle Thriller verlieren Details. Bei Tageslicht oder für Kinopuristen taugt er nicht.
Pros
- Netflix, Disney+ und Mediatheken laufen offiziell über Google TV
- Helles, farbkräftiges Bild mit rund 1.300 ANSI-Lumen in den Filmmodi
- Kräftiger 30-W-Ton füllt ein 30-m²-Wohnzimmer ohne Verzerrung
- eARC gibt Dolby Atmos an Soundbar oder AV-Receiver weiter
- Autofokus und Trapezkorrektur richten das Bild zwischen 1,5 und 4 m selbst aus
- Mit 4,5 kg und Griff schnell in einen anderen Raum getragen
Cons
- Nativ 400:1 Kontrast: dunkle Szenen werden grau und verlieren Details
- Nur rund 1.300 statt versprochener 1.800 ANSI-Lumen in Filmmodi
- Lüfter mit rund 45 dB statt angegebener 28 dB in leisen Szenen hörbar
- Kein optischer Zoom und kein Lens Shift
- Dolby Vision macht dunkle Szenen dunkler, HDR 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
