Samsung
Samsung The Premiere 7
The single-laser Premiere: half the price of the 9, 2,500 ISO lumens, the same Tizen platform and a 60 W 2.2-channel Atmos system.
Best for: A Samsung-ecosystem laser TV at half the flagship price
LG
LG CineBeam HU715QW
LG's mainstream laser TV, running the same webOS as its televisions with all the streaming apps built in.
Best for: An LG household that wants webOS on the wall

Samsung The Premiere 7: what it gives up
- Single-laser phosphor, so the color volume is well below the tri-laser Premiere 9
- 0.25 throw ratio needs more wall clearance than a 0.19-class UST
- No Dolby Vision, and Samsung publishes neither a contrast figure nor an input-lag figure for it
LG CineBeam HU715QW: what it gives up
- 54 ms input lag is the slowest measured figure in this catalog — this is not a gaming projector
- Single-laser phosphor with no Dolby Vision and no published contrast figure
- Released in 2022 and unchanged since
- 60 Hz only
- LG's model numbering makes research harder than it should be: nearby model numbers differ only by a suffix letter and describe very different projectors
