Samsung LSP7T Review

Unboxing

For a projector that costs over $2000, the unboxing experience of the Samsung LSP7T isn’t very flattering.

For starters, the projector comes in a large box. However, most of it is just polystyrene padding to keep the projector safe from unwanted damage during shipping.

On the inside, you are first greeted with the projector wrapped in a plastic bag. Getting the projector out of the box is a task in itself. Make sure you have another person to help you with the unboxing.

Since the projector has numerous lenses on the inside, a small drop might be fatal.

Besides the projector, the box contains a user manual, power cord, remote control, and batteries. 

Design & Built Quality

On the design front, the Samsung LSP7T’s design won’t get you excited. It comes in a milky white plastic casing with a mesh cover that runs across the projector’s length.

Common with most UST laser projectors, the Samsung LSP7T has a 2.2Ch speaker setup in the front.

To keep the projector cool, there are plenty of grills across the projector’s left, right and back sides. However, you must clean the projector regularly. Otherwise, dust and dirt will easily accumulate within the grills. The clogged grills will reduce air circulation and, in turn, heat the projector.

Dimension-wise, the Samsung LSP7T has 21 inches in width, 13.5 inches in depth, and 5.2 inches in height and weighs around 20 pounds. The dimensions and weight are similar to most UST Laser projectors within a similar price range.

Overall the projector has a clean design. The built quality is apt for a UST laser projector and much better than the Epson LS300 projector.

Other than the exhaust ports and air circulation vents, the Samsung LSP7T has a clean design.

Connectivity Options: The back has several wired connectivity options, which include 3x HDMI, 1x USB-A port, an Ethernet port, an Optical port, and an RF port. One HDMI port supports eARC for high-bandwidth audio transfer.

It also includes built-in wireless connectivity options like WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2. Both wireless technologies feel older but get the job done.

Performance of Samsung LSP7T

Being an Ultra Short Throw projector, you can easily keep the Samsung LSP7T close to the projection surface. Rather than feet, you can keep a mere few inches away from the wall and enjoy up to 120-inch projection.

Thus, a projector like Samsung LSP7T reduces cable clutter and mounting issues with most long-throw and short-throw projectors.

It is a 4K projector with a native resolution of 3840 x 2160p. With over 100-inch display size, the 4K native resolution makes a massive difference. As a result, you can watch movies like Top Gun Maverick with an immersive experience.

The Samsung LSP7T uses DLP projection technology. In contrast, DLP technology is popular for vibrant or life-like color reproduction. However, the Samsung LSP7T covers up to 86% of the DCI-P3 color space. Thus, you can enjoy a highly vibrant projection and take full advantage of the latest movies and TV shows without issues.

More importantly, it also supports HDR10+ and HLG technology, enhancing your movie-watching experience. HDR10+ requires higher brightness to produce a vibrant image. The 2200 ANSI lumens is good enough to do that in a moderately dark room.

Projector Placement: Ultra Short Throw projectors, or Laser TVs, as they’re popularly called, sit close to the projection surface. However, you cannot keep it extremely close to the wall or a projection screen.

Based on the projection distance data released by Samsung, you’ll need at least a 10-inch distance between the projector and the projection surface to produce a 90-inch screen. To get a 120-inch screen, a distance of 16.3 inches is required.

Initial Setup: While UST Laser projectors reduce clutter, the first-time setup is slightly tricky. The same is the case with Samsung LSP7T.

Projection Technology: As mentioned above, the Samsung LSP7T comes with DLP projection technology. Behind that, we have a single Laser Phosphor light source.

The laser light source is rated to last up to 20,000 hours, which is good enough for several years of usage.

Brightness: Brightness is a make-or-break factor within a projector. Most people prefer a projector with the highest brightness possible, which can cause more issues.

A projector with higher brightness results in a poor contrast ratio. Hence, there’s a sweet spot when it comes to projector brightness.

The Samsung LSP7T offers 2200 ANSI lumens, which hits the right spot for a home theater projector. The brightness is ideal for HDR10 and HLG projection technologies.

Smart Features: Similar to Samsung Smart TVs, the Samsung LSP7T has smart TV-like features. It has Tizen OS built-in, which helps you access apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, HBO Max, etc.

Tizen OS isn’t as feature-rich as Android TV; however, it offers a fluid experience, and the overall UI is very clean. It also offers Bixby support. Bixby is a smart assistant like Siri and Google Assistant. With voice support, you can summon Bixby to control various projector functions.

Audio Experience: In the audio department, the Samsung LSP7T is blessed with a 30W 2.2Ch audio system. The audio speakers sit in the front, covered by a grey mesh grill.

Compared to long-throw projectors, the audio quality from these speakers is fantastic and good for living room use. Having said that, it isn’t immersive, and to get the surround sound experience, I highly recommend a home theater system.

Power Consumption: Due to their light source, projectors are known for high power consumption. Same is true with the Samsung LSP7T. The max power consumption is around 320W, whereas during standby mode, the power consumption drops to 0.5W.

Like most projectors, it also comes with an auto power-off feature. Whenever the projector isn’t in use, it automatically powers off, saving electricity bills.

Important Features & Functions

Preventive Light Dimming

Most people don’t know how harmful a projector light is if you view it directly. It can strain your eyes and is extremely dangerous for kids.

To tackle this, the Samsung LSP7T has a sensor around the projection lens. Thus, when someone or something comes across the projector and the projection surface, it automatically dims the light.

It is a thoughtful preventive measure to prevent eye strain if you accidentally view the projection lens.

Multiple Voice Assistants

As mentioned above, the Samsung LSP7T comes with Bixby support, which is Samsung’s voice assistant.

In addition, the projector also includes Google Assistant and Alexa to further improve compatibility. Thus, you aren’t restricted to a single voice assistant and use it across various apps and devices.

Game Enhancer

You can easily connect the Samsung LSP7T to your PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, etc., and play modern games.

To further aid your gaming, the Samsung LSP7T comes with a ‘Game Enhancer’ mode. This mode has several benefits. A few of them include lower input lag, improved surround sound, and boosted contrast ratio during darker scenes or shadows.
