New Products

Formovie has announced the global launch of its latest flagship product, the Formovie Theater Premium. Scheduled for release on October 28, 2024, this 4K ultra-short-throw (UST) projector aims to elevate home cinema experiences with cutting-edge visuals and immersive sound.

Advanced Visuals with ALPD® RGB+ 4.0 and Upgraded Dolby Vision
Building upon the features of its predecessor, the Theater Premium utilizes the enhanced ALPD RGB+ 4.0 triple-laser technology developed by Appotronics, Formovie's parent company. According to the company, this technology achieves an impressive 107% coverage of the BT.2020 color gamut and offers a laser lifespan of up to 30,000 hours, aiming to ensure long-lasting and consistent brightness.

Formovie claims the projector delivers a significant improvement in image clarity—1.25 times sharper than the previous model—thanks to refinements in color accuracy and speckle suppression technology. With brightness levels exceeding 2,200 ISO lumens and a 3000:1 contrast ratio, it is designed to produce vibrant colors and deep blacks, even in well-lit rooms.

The upgraded Dolby Vision support is said to expand compatibility to a broader range of content sources, including NAS devices, Blu-ray players, USB drives, and gaming consoles like Xbox. Combined with HDR10 and HDR10+ decoding, the Theater Premium aims to offer enhanced visual precision for a smoother and more immersive viewing experience.

Space-Efficient Design with Ultra-Short Throw Ratio
Featuring an ultra-short throw ratio of 0.21:1, the Theater Premium can project a 100-inch image from a shorter distance—18% closer to the wall compared to previous models. This design also reduces the projection height by nearly 40% for the same screen size. For larger displays, the projector can cast a 150-inch image from just 42 cm away, making it suitable for home theaters with limited space.

Enhanced Audio by Bowers & Wilkins
In collaboration with audio brand Bowers & Wilkins, Formovie has upgraded the acoustic system of the Theater Premium. The second-generation enhancements include dual 15W speakers housed in a 990cc sound chamber for deeper and more stable bass. The treble unit features a titanium diaphragm and filtering capacitors for clearer high frequencies.

These audio improvements, along with Dolby Atmos and DTS support, aim to provide a rich and balanced soundscape that complements the projector's visual capabilities, offering an immersive cinematic experience.

Integrated Entertainment and Smooth Motion Handling
The Theater Premium comes with Google TV integration, granting access to a wide array of streaming apps, including Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, and more. The inclusion of MEMC (Motion Estimation, Motion Compensation) technology is intended to ensure smooth motion handling, particularly beneficial during fast-paced action scenes and live sports events.

Gaming Performance with Low Latency Mode
For gaming enthusiasts, the projector offers a Low Latency Game Mode with a response time of 18ms, designed to deliver fast and responsive gameplay without noticeable lag. This feature makes it suitable for both competitive gaming and immersive open-world experiences.

Pricing and Availability
The Formovie Theater Premium will be available for pre-order starting October 28, 2024, at 12:00 a.m. PDT / 3:00 p.m. CST / 9:00 a.m. CEST, with a special pre-order price of $2,999. After the pre-order period ends on November 5, 2024, the projector will be priced at its MSRP of $3,499. Customers can place orders through Formovie's official website.

The projector will be accessible in major regions across Europe, North America, Oceania, and Asia.

Conclusion
The combination of advanced laser projection, audio features from Bowers & Wilkins, and user-friendly elements like Google TV integration positions the Theater Premium as an option worth investigating for those seeking a high-quality home cinema experience from a UST projector.
