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 MoGo 4 ist ein mobiler Full-HD-Beamer mit eingebautem Akku, der im abgedunkelten Raum ein scharfes, farbkräftiges Bild zeigt und sich fast von selbst einrichtet. Netflix läuft offiziell unter Google TV, im Eco-Modus reicht der Akku für einen langen Film. Der Haken: nur bei Dunkelheit wirklich brauchbar, dazu graues Schwarz und ein zeitweise träges Menü.
Pros
- Scharfes Full-HD-Bild von der Mitte bis zum Rand
- Akku hält im Eco-Modus knapp 200 min bis gut 3 h
- Netflix als offizielle App unter Google TV, kein Stick nötig
- Bild steht nach rund 15 s dank Autofokus und Trapezkorrektur
- Input Lag von gut 22 ms im Spielmodus
- Klare Sprachwiedergabe ohne Verzerrung bei voller Lautstärke
Cons
- Braucht abgedunkelten Raum, bei Tageslicht saufen dunkle Szenen ab
- Kontrast von rund 320:1, Schwarz wirkt dunkelgrau
- Menü reagiert zeitweise verzögert, etwa beim App-Wechsel
- Im Akkubetrieb nur 150 bis 250 Lumen im Eco-Modus
- HDR10 nur in Apps, nicht über HDMI
