    This is not a theater projector, and with 300 lumens of brightness it has room for improvement. This is a great portable projector with some fun use cases, but a very dark space will provide the best results.

    I really wanted to love it. First of all, the sound is spectacular! The image quality was very nice! However, it is not user friendly to try to get it to focus automatically. Another flaw is that when I pointed the projector, it kept on falling. It did not come with the mini HDMI cable to connect. I'm an apple user but sadly, this projector was not made for us. Very disappointing. I do not recommend it for apple users, it will simply not work.

    Let me first start by saying I was so excited to purchase this. I pre ordered it. Samsung usually makes good products so I bought with confidence. Very easy to set up. It had a really good picture and sound was loud. The auto focus was frustrating at times. My bulb went out in a week with very hours on it. It was also really slow when navigating through the apps etc. I didn’t want to chance it on another one. I just got my money back.

    I have always been skeptical of portable projectors. This projector has changed my mind. Brightness and resolution is amazing. Sound is great too for such a small unit. We have used this outdoors in our gazeebo but mostly in our camper. The auto focus isn't great but just a minute in manual focus mode and you are all set. Highly recommend

    This is my favorite thing. It has most of the streaming apps available to download on the device. It's the prefect size and auto adjusts the screen to be just right. I've set it up so I can do outdoor movie night with family and lazy projected it to ceiling to in bed. The only thing I am not a fan of is it'll autoplay it's samsung stations if you wait too long to start something.

    I wish there is an audio output port because when I connect to my Samsung sound bar there is huge audio delay and there is no way to adjust that, So I use my Bose soundlink speaker for audio and it works well. The processor is too slow for the price. There is a 5-10 second delay when I try to jump from one app to the other and when I get to the new app I still listen to the sound from previous app. The picture quality is great and auto keystoning works well.

    The projector works nicely. But some cons are: every time I turn it on I have to adjust the screen size and although the picture quality is decent, it does not get super bright.

      Dannie,

      We appreciate your feedback on brightness and Auto Focus performance on The Freestyle. To ensure your unit is fully optimized, we ask that you make sure your unit has the latest firmware version installed. You can check firmware by going to: Home > Menu > Settings > Support > Software Update.

      Please also check the following, which may further improve Auto Focus and Keystone Correction:
      1. Remove the film covering the lens, as this can affect Auto Focus performance.
      2. Position the device with the “Samsung” logo on the bottom of the unit.

      If the image is too dim, try adjusting Picture Mode, Contrast, Brightness, or Sharpness settings.
      Go to Home > Menu > Settings > All Settings > Picture > Picture Mode
      ...and select the mode that best fits your usage:
      Dynamic: Makes the picture brighter and clearer in bright viewing environments.
      Standard: Is the default mode suitable for general viewing environments
      Movie: Is suitable for watching Projector or movies in a dark room.

      You can also manually fine tune your image under Expert Settings. Go to: Home > Menu > Settings > All Settings > Picture > Expert Settings

      I hope these tips help you enjoy your new product.
      You can always contact us for further help at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.
