The Premiere - Set up your new projector

Have you ever wished you could have a movie theater in your own home? Well, now you can have a theater-like experience in your living room with The Premiere, from Samsung. It projects 4K and HDR10+ video, giving you amazing image quality. You just need to make sure you set it up properly, so you get the image size and quality that you want.

The provided information refers to Samsung The Premiere projectors sold in Canada. The available settings and options may differ for The Premiere projectors sold in other countries.

1 When you’ve picked a place to watch and project your movies, you can begin setting up The Premiere. Place the projector at an appropriate distance from the wall it will project onto. Make sure the projector is sitting horizontally on a flat surface to prevent it from tilting or tipping over.

Note: For an even more immersive viewing experience, you can connect a soundbar to the projector, so it really feels like you are in a theater. Soundbars are sold separately.

If you've seen a projector in a classroom, you'll know that the projected image will increase or decrease in size depending on how close you place it to the wall. This applies to The Premiere projector as well. Below we have a comprehensive guide for getting the correct image size for your setup. The placement will be a little different depending on which The Premiere model you have (SP-LSP7TFA or SP-LSP9TFA).
