What it does well

3,450 ISO lumens is the brightest figure measured to ISO 21118 in this catalog, and ISO is the stricter of the two standards
Tri-laser color with HDR10+ adaptive tone mapping
Tizen is the same platform as Samsung's televisions, including cloud gaming through the Gaming Hub
An 80 W 2.2.2-channel Atmos system built into the cabinet
Three HDMI 2.1 inputs

What it gives up

No Dolby Vision — Samsung does not license it on any of its displays
Samsung publishes no contrast figure for this model
60 Hz, and no input-lag figure is published
$5,932 before the ambient-light-rejecting screen it needs
Tizen is a licensed television platform, but it is Samsung's own — the app set is narrower than Google TV's

Worked from this projector’s published throw ratio of 0.19:1. Estimates: a real install loses a little to lens offset, and zoom ranges are quoted at the extremes of the lens.
