Samsung The Premiere 5 is a compact, ultra-short throw (UST) projector with triple-laser technology and touch interaction capabilities. Whether you're projecting a movie onto your wall or turning your floor into an interactive workspace, this guide will help you get started.

Note: The information in this guide applies to models sold in Canada. Specifications and available features may vary depending on the country of purchase.

  • Ultra-short throw projection: Display up to a 100” Full HD image from just 43 cm (17") away.
  • Touch Interaction mode: Use fingers to interact with on-screen content when paired with the optional Touch Stand.
  • Compact form factor: Stylish cylindrical design measuring just 136.7 × 136.7 × 199.9 mm.

  • Smart TV platform: Powered by Tizen OS, with access to apps, streaming and voice assistants.
  • Advanced audio: Features like Dolby Atmos, Object Tracking Sound Lite and Active Voice Amplifier Pro for rich, immersive sound.
  • Place The Premiere 5 on a flat surface facing a smooth wall or projection screen.

Note: The Premiere 5 is designed for projecting onto walls or the floor only. Ceiling setups are not supported due to lens and focus limitations. Attempting to project onto the ceiling may result in poor image alignment or failure to focus properly. If you’re looking for a projector that supports angled or ceiling projection, consider The Freestyle, which is designed for flexible positioning.

  • To project a 100” image, keep about 43 cm (17 inches) between the back of the projector and the wall.

Note: A minimum distance of at least 10 cm (about 4 inches) from the wall is required to project a 40” screen size.

  • Use the built-in Auto Keystone and Auto Focus features to fine-tune the picture. You can also adjust them manually in the settings menu.

2 Make sure the projection surface is:
  • Clean, flat and matte (avoid reflective surfaces).
  • Free from obstacles between the projector and surface.
3 Touch calibration will activate automatically on startup.
4 Touch inputs will be recognized with up to 10 fingers simultaneously.

Note: Some apps may not support touch input. When touch mode is enabled, certain projector settings, such as Keystone and Focus, are temporarily disabled.
