Samsung Debuts Premium HD Projector for the Home Theater Market

Samsung Electronics America has unveiled the SP-A800B projector, a premium projector that enhances the home theater experience by delivering film-like picture quality in high-definition 1080p. With the SP-A800B, home theater enthusiasts are able to watch their favorite films in the comfort of their own living and media rooms without compromising on picture quality. The SP-A800B leverages an advanced 1080p DLP engine to deliver a level of color and image quality that is traditionally only found in studio-grade monitors and commercial movie theaters. In addition to its native resolution of 1920 x 1080, the SP-A800B features an impressive 95% aperture ratio and a fast 16 microsecond (0.016 millisecond) response time to further facilitate accurate and natural motion graphics. Furthermore, the SP-A800B projector features a contrast ratio of 10,000:1, providing for darker shades of blacks and achieving an image closer to what is originally intended by the filmmaker.

To facilitate the highest quality home theater experience and color reproduction, Samsung teamed up with Joe Kane Productions, a worldwide authority on visual imaging equipment and development. The result of this collaboration is a premium high-definition projector that reproduces astonishing flesh tones and natural colors. Matching the gamma response curve of ultra-expensive studio video equipment, the SP800B allows users to freely select the color space for the three broadcasting formats (SMPTE-C, HDTV, and EBU) to deliver accurate projection regardless of format.

Further pleasing home theater purists, the SP-A800B delivers a film mode with a frame rate of 24 frames per second, the same frame rate found in commercial movie theaters.

The SP-A800B projector matches high-performance with high-design. Sleek and stylish, the projector creates a mystical effect, delivering soft blue lighting and a "dolphin-like" design. The SP-A800B also provides quiet operation with a low noise fan. The theater mode operates at just 25db enabling users to focus on the finest details without missing a word in the quietest of scenes.
