Thanks to advanced ALPD 4.0 triple laser technology, you enjoy a wealth of colour that goes far beyond the standard and will delight even the most demanding film buffs. Combined with the integrated Bowers & Wilkins sound system and the latest Google TV, this projector becomes the ultimate centrepiece of your private cinema.

Picture quality

The Formovie Theater Premium uses DLP technology with XPR pixel shift: the chip shifts its pixels in rapid succession to display the full 4K resolution of 8.3 million pixels. With a brightness of 3,000 lumens and a typical contrast ratio of 3,000:1, the unit delivers a vivid image even in rooms that are not completely darkened. The ALPD 4.0 RGB+ light source enables colour reproduction of over 100 % of the BT.2020 colour space, rendering colours as realistically as the director intended in the mastering process.

The projector sets standards when it comes to HDR: in addition to HDR10 and HLG, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ are also supported. Dynamic metadata ensures that each scene is optimally adapted to the projector's capabilities, perfectly preserving details in bright and dark areas of the image. A high off-axis value of 140 % makes it easier to position the unit below the screen.

Integrated Motion Estimation, Motion Compensation (MEMC) uses precise frame interpolation to ensure sharp images during fast camera pans or sports broadcasts. As the projector also supports native 24p playback, films are shown at their original 24 frames per second – without annoying judder caused by 3:2 pulldown.

Gaming performance

Thanks to support for Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), the projector automatically detects connected games consoles and switches to the mode with the lowest delay. This ensures a direct gaming feel for story games and role-playing games on the gigantic screen.

Sound

The integrated audio system was developed in collaboration with the sound experts at Bowers & Wilkins and delivers 2 x 15 watts. Support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X creates a spatial soundscape that is more than sufficient for occasional TV viewing and series nights. Via eARC, lossless audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio are also passed through to an external AV receiver – the best choice for audiophile surround sound. Bluetooth 5.0 also allows wireless connection to headphones for late-night movies.

Smart features & streaming

With the Google TV operating system, the Formovie Theater Premium becomes a smart media hub. The main streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video are pre-installed – no additional stick is needed. Thanks to Chromecast built-in, content can easily be mirrored from your smartphone, while far-field voice control allows convenient operation of the system via Google Assistant.

Setup, projection & scope of delivery

A laser TV projects onto the image surface from an extremely short distance at a steep angle – which is exactly what makes it so special, but also places particular demands on the projection surface. A normal wall or conventional screen cannot meet these demands: without a special coating, the light is reflected uncontrollably onto the ceiling, which in turn reflects a milky haze onto the image. At the same time, the short throw distance makes even the smallest unevenness visible as a shadow or ripple. CLR screens solve both problems – they absorb stray light from above and their tensioned or frame construction provides an absolutely flat projection surface.

Suitable CLR screens for your laser TV:

• CLR fixed-frame screen – fixed installation for maximum flatness and the best image
• CLR motorised screen (wall/ceiling mounting) – disappears elegantly into its case when not in use
• CLR floor-rising screen – flexible setup without drilling, ideal in combination with a laser TV cabinet

Connections

• HDMI: 3 x HDMI 2.1 (one with eARC for passing through lossless audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio).
• USB: 2 x USB 2.0 Type-A.
• Audio out: 1 x S/PDIF (optical), 1 x 3.5 mm line out and Bluetooth 5.0 (wireless connection for headphones or speakers).
• Network: 1 x LAN (Ethernet) and Wi-Fi 6 (2.4/5 GHz).

Light source & operation

The maintenance-free ALPD 4.0 triple laser light source is designed for a long service life. With an operating noise level of ≤ 28 dB(A), the projector remains pleasantly quiet even in quiet film scenes and is barely audible in a normal living room.

Conclusion

The Formovie Theater Premium is the ideal choice for demanding home cinema enthusiasts who do not want a complicated installation but have high expectations of colour accuracy and contrast. The combination of Dolby Vision, the BT.2020 colour space and Bowers & Wilkins sound makes it one of the most powerful laser TVs on the market. It promises an immersive 4K experience that finally replaces the classic TV in your living room.
