Samsung LSP7T VS LSP9T Ultra Short Throw Projector Comparison

Samsung has launched a new series of Ultra Short Throw projectors called the Samsung Premiere.

It has two different models Samsung LSP7T VS LSP9T Projector. One is slightly more expensive than the other.

Ultra Short Throw projectors are becoming increasingly popular due to their versatility and amazing picture quality. They can be placed just about anywhere in the room, are portable, and can create stunning images from just a few feet away from the screen!

So let’s take a look at both these versions to determine which one is the right option for you!

The main difference between the Samsung LSP7T and LSP9T is that the LSP7T has a longer throw ratio, so it sits farther from the wall, has less color accuracy, less brightness, and has less powerful speakers. Therefore, if you have a smaller space to set up a projector and you don’t have a dedicated movie theater, the Samsung LSP7T is a good choice.

Detailed Comparison

Similarities 

Both of these models give you a native 4K resolution and a similar contrast ratio. They also have similar designs and both come in white color.

Both will give you more than 8 million pixels on the screen with HDR10+ support to maintain accuracy and realism.

Differences

The first difference you will notice immediately is the price range. As mentioned before, the LSP7T is the cheaper version while the LSP9T is the slightly more expensive version. 

Other than the price difference, these two projectors differ in their throw ranges. The LSP9T has a shorter throw range than its counterpart, which means slightly more accurate colors and sharpness of pictures.

What you’ll also notice is the difference in the sound quality. Unfortunately, the LSP7T comes with only two 30W speakers and a subwoofer system, while the LSP9T has four 10W built-in speakers with a built-in woofer and acoustic beam technology.

Installation and setup

Now because both of these projectors have Ultra Short Throw technology, they are extremely easy to install and set up. You can place them on a table or bookshelf and they don’t need specialized ceiling mounts.

However, the LSP7T has only two speakers, so you would probably want to place it in a room where you won’t be disappointed with the lower audio output.

Samsung LSP7T Review

The Samsung Premiere LSP7T is the less expensive model of the Samsung Premiere Ultra Short Throw series. Along with native 4K resolution, it gives HDR10+ processing for a much sharper picture and richer colors.

If you’re a movie addict, you will definitely love the Filmmaker mode which is a setting designed to make your screen even more cinematic!

Keeping in mind that the LSP7T is designed for a smaller room, the speakers are not very loud, but the black levels are much deeper. Along with less brightness, you will get a much better picture in a room that receives less ambient light.

Granted that the brightness levels are really low, just 2200 lumens. But with the LSP7T, you don’t have to worry about picture washout. This is largely thanks to the ultra-short throw distance, which means the light will travel a much shorter distance to make the most out of the brightness it produces! With that said, keep in mind that this projector is definitely no match for sunlight!

Lastly, the LSP7T is compatible with a range of systems such as Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Bixby. You can enjoy easier control with a range of commands including voice searches, playback control, and volume adjustment.

Pros

• Large image from an ultra-short distance
• Excellent image processing
• Very user-friendly and easy to install
• Really nice audio quality
• Provides all streaming services
• Much better black levels 

Cons

• Needs calibration due to color errors
• Lower color range and weaker contrast
• Less audio output

Samsung LSP9t Review

The Samsung LSP9T is designed keeping in mind a larger space and brighter rooms. It has the same resolution and contrast ratio as its counterpart, but it has a much shorter throw distance. From just 0.4 inches away, you can get a crystal clear image on your wall and enjoy Ultra High Definition movies and series. 

It uses 3 laser light sources, a 2800 lumens brightness level, and gives you a 20,000 hours lamp life! What’s more, you get HDR10, HLG, HGiG, and HDR10+ support. This is the first Ultra Short Throw projector that is able to accomplish that.

The LSP9T is also equipped with 40W internal speakers that come with, what Samsung calls, Acoustic Beam technology. This gives it a larger sound stage, which is helpful if you’re using a bigger screen.

You don’t need an external sound system if you’re not into frequent movie watching and you don’t have a large room.

This version of the Samsung Premiere also uses the same TIZEN smart TV system. It has built-in Alexa, Google Assistant, and Bixby voice control. The image processing is similar to the LSP7T, with an optimized Filmmaker Mode along with 3 other modes for more control over picture quality settings.

Pros

• Shorter throw distance
• Sharper images with much clearer detail
• Better speakers with the acoustic beam
• Smart TV system with voice control
• More brightness for larger rooms
• Comes with an Eye Protection mode

Cons

• More expensive
• Colors are not that accurate right out of the box

In Last:

If you don’t mind spending a few extra bucks, I’d suggest you go with the LSP9T. It has more features, better pictures, and sound quality and it will give you a bright image even in high ambient light settings.

The LSP7T is certainly a better value but it does have a lack of features such as a zoom and a lens shift for aligning the image.

If you have a screen, this will be annoying. But on the plus side, it has deeper black levels and is perfect for smaller rooms.
