Laser TV and smart projector maker Formovie has unveiled the sequel to the Formovie Theater. Dubbed Formovie Theater Premium, this ultra-short-throw (UST) 4K projector will go on pre-order on October 28 (Monday). The projector is based on ALPD RGB+ 4.0 triple laser technology, which was developed by Appotronics (which is the parent company of Formovie). It reaches 107% coverage of the BT.2020 color gamut and, thanks to improvements to the technology, the Theater Premium beams a picture that has 25% better clarity than the previous model.
The triple laser system can produce over
2,200 lumens of brightness with a contrast ratio of 3,000:1. This allows it to
work even in bright rooms. The laser in the projector is rated for 30,000 hours
of operation while maintaining its brightness. The projector runs Google TV, so
you have access to all the major streaming services. Also, it supports Dolby
Vision and HDR10+, so you can play local content from NAS, Blu-ray and other
sources. There is a Low Latency Game Mode available with 18ms response time, so
you can play games on a huge screen too.
This is an ultra-short-throw projector,
meaning that you can use the Formovie Theater Premium close to the wall (it has
a throw ratio of 0.21:1). You can fill an enormous 150” screen at just 42cm
away (16.5 in). And you don’t even need speakers – the projector comes with
dual 15W Bowers & Wilkins speakers built in with a 990cc sound chamber for
deep bass, plus Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support.
The Formovie Theater Premium will be
available for pre-order starting on October 28. You will find it on the
company’s official online store. The MSRP is US$ 3,500/€ 3,500, but during the
pre-order period you will be able to pick it up at a discounted price of US$ 3,000/€ 3,000.
