The Premiere 5
Elfin Flip 4K
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 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
Der XGIMI Elfin Flip 4K ist ein farbtreuer, leiser Laser-Beamer für abgedunkelte Wohn- und Schlafzimmer, der per Pixel-Shift ein feines 4K-Bild bis etwa 90 Zoll zeigt. Optischer Zoom und 7 ms Input Lag machen ihn flexibel und konsolentauglich. Der Haken: Statt 1.600 kommen nur rund 820 bis 1.070 Lumen an, der Ton ist dünn, und ohne Akku brauchst du immer eine Steckdose.
Pros
- Sehr farbtreu, knapp 98 % des BT.2020-Farbraums abgedeckt
- Nur 7 ms Input Lag, 120 Hz in Full HD für Konsolen
- Optischer Zoom 0,98 bis 1,3:1 ohne Schärfeverlust
- Google TV mit offizieller Netflix-App und Chromecast
- Leiser Lüfter mit 27 bis 35 dB im Normalbetrieb
- Guter nativer Kontrast von etwa 1.400 bis 1.500:1
Cons
- Nur rund 820 bis 1.070 statt 1.600 Lumen im Filmmodus
- Einzelner 7-W-Lautsprecher klingt dünn und verzerrt bei hoher Lautstärke
- Kein Akku, Betrieb nur mit externem 120-W-Netzteil
- Menüs von Google TV ruckeln, 4K-HDR stockt beim Vorspulen
- Zoom nur über das Menü, Automatik stellt ihn teils um
