    Although a little slow to respond, especially after turning it on, it’s a good projector. Just like a Samsung tv without the size restriction.

    So far I've been using it for a couple of months and I'll say, the picture quality and brightness if awesome. The only complaint i have is whenever i watch dark movies it's a little hard to see but adjusting the picture settings fixed it. I don't regret buying this if you don't have a lot of room but also want a big screen as well

    Pretty solid projector. It is definitely bright and sharp and the ability for the projector to auto focus is definitely handy. The audio is decent, nothing mind blowing bur definitely good enough for a projectoe of this size. Ive used it to watch tv shows and play video games. The response time isnt the best for quick twitchy games but for slower games it will be fine.

    I was extremely impressed with this projector in both image quality and flexibilty. The auto-adjustment is incredible and our family loves the spur of the moment movie nights that we can setup in seconds literally anywhere. Comes on fast and smart features are greag built in. Audio on the projector itself is actually really loud and more than enough for basic viewing indoors.

    Love this thing! We use it all the time. We put it on the ceiling while in bed, outdoors on a screen, and in the living room when we want to have a movie night! If you're on the fence about getting this just get it. You probably wouldn't be looking at reviews if you were just "browsing".

    Not worth the price. In order for remote to work you have to be super close to device. The “auto” position feature requires too much configuration. Only thing good about the device is the size so makes it easily portable and that you can connect to you apps in your Samsung account.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Nice little portable projector and I like that I can easily rotate the angle for display. Purchased this as an open box item and was very impressed by the quality, it is pretty much brand new. Will definitely consider buying open box items from Best Buy again.

    This is a powerhouse gadget packed with every feature you need. The connectivity options - direct online apps or any other device are amazing. Also, the self-adjusting feature is very efficient and the speaker volume is adequate even for a big room. All this in a small size that can be carried easily. One of the best products from Samsung.
