Samsung Australia has today announced the pricing and availability of The Premiere 5 (LPF5D), the brand’s first interactive triple-laser ultra-short-throw (UST) projector. Designed to transform everyday places into immersive content spaces, The Premiere 5 introduces interactive touch floor projection capabilities[1], paired with up to 100-inches[2] of cinematic viewing possibilities, setting a new standard for premium home projectors.

The Premiere 5 is now available for $2,999 from Samsung’s Online Store and leading retailers nationwide including Harvey Norman.

The Premiere 5 comes in a stylish compact design that makes it easy to move and set up in various spaces around the home. Seamless smartphone integration[3] allows Australians to simply mirror content from the handheld device via SmartThings or Apple AirPlay 2 so the family can enjoy the content on a bigger screen.

The Premiere 5’s dedicated stand is equipped with an infrared camera and an infrared laser module to support touch-based operation. This means The Premiere 5 can transform the table or the floor it is being projected on into an interactive touch screen, enabling the family to engage in smartphone games, art, movies and more in up to 20-inches.

MultiView and Web Browser capabilities also ensures The Premiere 5’s touch enabled floor projection can be used for a variety of purposes such as education and business, beyond home entertainment.

“The Premiere 5 is designed to go beyond content to deliver immersive, engaging and memorable experiences that bring people together or support productivity in new ways,” said Simon Howe, Director – Audio Visual, Samsung Australia. “By combining Samsung’s big screen picture quality with a compact design and user-centric functionality, we are providing Australians with more screen options that enable them to use their screen tailored to the way that suits their needs.”

At the heart of the Premiere 5 is Samsung’s Triple Laser Technology, which delivers a wide range of vivid colours and high contrast without blur in screen ratios spanning 40-inches to 100-inches. Built-in Vision Booster detects the level of surrounding light and automatically adjusts the projector’s colour, contrast and brightness to help the screen remain clear, even in well-lit rooms.

The Premiere 5’s compact Ultra Short Throw design allows the projector to project cinematic experiences from 12cms of distance from the wall[4], saving space while maximising impact. Its compact form blends seamlessly into any home environment, making it a perfect fit for modern living spaces.

The Premiere 5 also redefines audio-visual harmony with its integrated sound system featuring Q-Symphony[5], Active Voice Amplifier Pro[6], and Adaptive Sound Pro. The 10W 2-channel speaker system delivers immersive audio that complements its stunning visuals, eliminating the need for external speakers and creating a cinematic experience.

The Premiere 5 can also be used as a standalone wireless speaker when the screen is not in use, with the ability to play music via a Bluetooth connection, Air Play or music casting[7].

Endless free content is packed into The Premiere 5 via Samsung’s Smart Hub, including access to 300+ free channels including Samsung TV Plus[8]. For gamers, the Premiere 5’s Gaming Hub offers instant access to popular gaming platforms and services, along with low latency and smooth performance for an uninterrupted gaming experience[9].

Custom Ambient Mode uses The Premiere 5’s Projecting Mapping Solution to project dynamic images to help create a mood or customise the ambiance of a space[10]. Instant set-up via the auto keystone and auto-focus features makes gaming, watching, working or relaxing simple.

The Premiere 5 also enables Australians to seamlessly manage their compatible Samsung and third-party devices through SmartThings. This includes the ability to monitor electricity usage, control lighting, be notified when wash cycles have finished, or view home cameras from the couch, making life easier, more secure, and more connected[11].

The Premiere 5 joins Samsung’s 2025 Projector line-up which includes The Premiere 7, Premiere 9 and The Freestyle.

The Premiere 5 is now available for $2,999 from Samsung’s Online Store and leading retailers nationwide including Harvey Norman.

“The Freestyle is a one-of-a-kind projector geared towards ultimate versatility and flexibility to meet the consumers’ changing lifestyles,” said Simon Sung, Executive Vice President and Head of the Sales & Marketing Team of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Without the limitation in space and form factor, The Freestyle is a fun and versatile device that can be used in any way consumers prefer.”

The Freestyle comes with full auto keystone and auto leveling features.

For powering it up, The Freestyle is compatible with power banks that support USB-PD and 50W/20V output or above, so users can take it with them anywhere, even when they are on the move.

When it’s not used as a projector to stream content, The Freestyle also provides mood lighting effect thanks to its ambient mode and translucent lens cap. The Freestyle is also a smart speaker, analysing the music to pair visual effects that can be projected on the wall, floors and anywhere else.

The Freestyle offers Smart TV features available on Samsung Smart TVs, with built-in streaming services and mirroring and casting features compatible with both Android and iOS mobile devices.[4] It also includes far-field voice control, allowing users to choose their favorite voice assistants when using the device hands-free.
