Not so bright, otherwise great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is foremost, a portable projector:
An LED projector with a Texas Instrument DLP (Color wheel) and 1080P resolution with HDR.
Because it's a portable projector, it's not as bright as I hoped, so it doesn't compare with a dedicated setup, but it's very much enjoyable in a dark room.

About the size of a large can, the metal base is removable and the projector is wrapped in a soft material (Skin), so it provides some protection.
It's powered by USB-C, which means it can also be powered by an apropriate power bank/battery.

Inputs: The main input is via Wi-Fi, and it also comes with a Micro-HDMI connector (Adapter not included).
What makes this projector unique is how it automatically adjusts focus and keystone (angle of the image). It does this exceedingly well. When turning it on or anytime the projector is moved it readjusts itself. This is truly an outstanding feature in a portable projector. I can't say how impressed I am the way this works.
Smart TV features: Like Samsung TVs, this uses the TIZEN interface.
Also supports streaming gaming platforms like XBOX and Amazon's Luna.
The projector can connect using Bluetooth to game controllers as well as Bluetooth speakers, keyboards and mouse.
It Airplay2 as well as Microsoft casting and Samsung Workspace that can remote desktop to a PC or Mac (VNC) or to a Samsung phone running Dex with a keyboard/mouse connected to the projector.
It does not support Chromecast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Freestyle projector to replace an old projector. For the price I was highly impressed with the resolution and setup. It also has alot of features I'm still trying to get into.
Way to go Samsung!
Also I would like to thank the Chat person who helped me pick it out. I recommend chatting with one of their experts before you buy.

great but glitchy
on May 22, 2024
Posted by: med215
from atlanta georgia
bought this in december, after returning the first model (it was pre owned and bought through best buy) because it was glitchy. i love this one BUT it too has begun to get glitchy. recommend if using occasionally and not daily. type of glitches? while watching anything netflix, samsung tv, prime videos, it will begin to skip audio. it gets annoying to listen to. my guess is dusty parts? i tried cleaning it with a LEAF-BLOWER. also there was no dust on exterior prior to blowing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It is very nice product.

Posted by: hellolkt88
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] tThe freestyle gen 2 is very light weight and simple product.
I can take anywhere; camping, vacation or trips.
The quality of videonis pretty good too.
I gave 4 stars because, the video quality at bright condition is bad. I couldn't see the screen.
However, worth the money.
