Samsung Electronics today announced that The Premiere 8K, the company's flagship premium projector, has received the industry's first 8K Association (8KA) certification for 8K projectors. This recognition underscores Samsung's leadership in projection technology while setting a new benchmark for the industry.

"The Premiere 8K receiving the industry's first 8KA certification is a major milestone as it officially demonstrates the new potential of projector technology." said Taeyoung Son, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. "We are committed to expanding the 8K ecosystem by continuously and extensively integrating new technologies."




Raising the Bar for 8K Projection Standards
The 8KA is a global consortium of leading technology companies dedicated to advancing the adoption and standardization of 8K technology. On Dec 10, the organization introduced its New Projector certification program for 8K projectors, a significant step in the development of the 8K ecosystem.

The 8KA certification evaluates a comprehensive set of standards critical to delivering an immersive viewing experience. These include resolution (7680 x 4320), brightness, contrast and color gamut to ensure vivid detail in both highlights and shadows. The criteria also encompass high dynamic range (HDR) for enhanced visual depth, 8K upscaling to refine lower-resolution content and immersive audio capabilities that support the latest formats for synchronized, high-quality sound that matches 8K's stunning picture quality.

Samsung's The Premiere 8K excelled across all these categories, becoming the first in the industry to receive the certification.

Bringing Unmatched Immersion to the Home Cinema
Unveiled at CES 2024, The Premiere 8K transforms home entertainment with groundbreaking features and cutting-edge technology. It is the first projector to offer 8K wireless connectivity, enabling seamless streaming without complex setups. Using ultra-short throw (UST) technology with advanced aspherical mirrors, it delivers stunning, high-resolution visuals from a short distance, eliminating the need for ceiling mounts or additional installations.

The Premiere 8K is designed to deliver a truly immersive experience. With 4,500 ISO Lumens of brightness, it produces vibrant, lifelike visuals—even in well-lit spaces—while its Sound-on-Screen technology integrates the top speaker module and software algorithms for an immersive sound experience.

With this 8KA certification, Samsung has reaffirmed its leadership in display innovation and further solidified its reputation as a pioneer in ultra-premium technology.

Does it also cost 8k?
'cause it sounds like it does. Wouldn't be mentioned so many times if they weren't hinting at it.

Possibly even more, as the "old" 4k version is 5-6k...
 
True 4K wireless is a PITA with HDR and refresh rate, I’m guessing WiFi 7 is a requirement?

you'll need WiFi 8........K :laugh:
 
Is this 8K native? Somehow I doubt is capable of displaying more than 33 million individual pixels.
And how about the clarity on that resolution? Projection distance? Projection maximum size?
 
This is a llifestyle device... in other words, for bragging rights. The prospective customers don't give a damn about the 8K beyond "it's twice as big as by neighbor's 4K", and they probably can't differentiate between the two without professional help.

"8K wireless connectivity" is very handwavy. For 8K 10bit 60Hz (YUV 4:2:2) with DSC you can get by with "just" 16Gbps if I remember correctly. If you want YUV 4:4:4 and no DSC you bump it to 60+Gbps. WiFi 7 might do it for DSC, if you assume perfect network conditions (nobody dares walk between the AP and projector!). I'm sure in th end it will technically be 8K resolution because the paid certification says so. That's why "8K" appears 20 times in this press release but none of the other surely disappointing details.

It's a press release launch so this description is as good as the product is ever going to be.
