    It's ok. Too expensive for what it does. Great to be able to project external devices to a clear wall. Image is too light in daylight. No internal battery. Add-ons and accessories will make this even more pricey

      kernelkertz,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts on The Freestyle. If the image is too dim, please try adjusting Picture Mode, Contrast, Brightness, and 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 go to: Home > Menu > Settings > All Settings > Picture > Expert Settings to manually fine tune your image.

      While The Freestyle does require an external power source, please know that in addition to the included power cable, you can also use a portable battery charger with 50 Watt output/PD (Power Delivery) with DC 20V.

      For more help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week.

    I really wanted to like this thing. It's horrible. Unless you're operating it in a windowless room, it is nowhere near bright enough. For a business setting, it is useless. I will never have the opportunity to use it in pitch black. Returning.

    This little device is very sharp and bright for its size and the picture quality looks great against any smooth and clear backdrop. The Samsung Tizen UI is sluggish compared to its TV counterparts, but still gets the job done in terms of it being effective for all your smart app purposes.

    Great projector. Have other Samsung smart tvs so set up was easy. There is a slight delay when charging apps, although absolutely no stuttering while streaming. Will likely take it with us vacations in the future for hotel stays. Great buy at 499-599 sale price, not original price

      KeeCee,

      I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with remote responsiveness. Please do ensure your projector's firmware is up to date with the latest version. You can check this by going to: Home > Menu > Settings > Support > Software Update.

      If you're still having issues with the remote after updating your projector, please try the following steps to reset your remote:
      1) Long press the RETURN key and ENTER key together for about 10 seconds if your remote was once paired already with the TV, you do not need to re-pair it again. However, if it was not paired with the TV, pairing must be done after the reset.
      2) The RETURN key is on the left side of your remote and looks like a curved, backwards pointing arrow.
      3) The ENTER key is the button in the center of your directional ring.

      Also, if the remote control does not work properly or its response is very slow, the battery might be low or dead. You can charge the remote by using the USB port (C-type) on the bottom.

      I hope this helps. Should you need further assistance, please contact Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week. Or visit us on the Samsung website and click on the ‘Support’ link for:
