Formovie unveils Theater Premium ultra-short-throw projector

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).

Formovie Theater Premium

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 can play Dolby Vision and HDR10 videos so you can play local content from NAS, Blu-ray and other sources. HDR10+ decoding is also on board. 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.

Formovie Theater Premium

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 $3,500/€3,500, but during the pre-order period you will be able to pick it up at a discounted price of $3,000/€3,000.
