    First off they told me it had a battery and hdmi was bluetooth…. What battery? the minute it’s unplugged it shuts off am i tripping? The HDMI thanks best buy telling me about the hdmi had me thinking I could hook up a console and play outside boy was I wrong. This thing is garbage please dont waste your money on this item. The UI is a lag factory the 1080p isnt sharp. the speakers are super low. Dont get fulled by the HDMI cause its not traditional its a neat little package but its not… Not sure what drugs I was using when purchasing this but I did sign a restocking fee great get to pay bestbuy for letting me leave this review. Im really not sure what the other reviews say that give it such high scores maybe its grandparents buying their grand kids stuff and they like it at first then realize you cant do anything with it.. Will be returning ASAP First

    Small Projector with Big Punch!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've had my projector for some time now and am obsessed with it! This device does it all, with functions similar to a smart TV, I can access all my favorite apps without the need of an additional device, including Netflix, Disney+, Hulu and more. Additionally, the technology within this device makes using it extremely convenient. It has auto focus and auto scaling abilities to ensure that the picture is clear, sharp, and straight the moment it is turned on. The bluetooth functionality is also convenient as it allows external speakers to be synced as well (very helpful in case the internal speaker isn't loud enough). The software was initially a bit laggy, but with the latest update, everything loads seemlessly. Overall, Samsung has made a standout product in the projector category.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great picture and great sound quality. Love how it’s wireless/portable and you can move it from room to room if you’d like to. I really like how the microphone tells you how many minutes are left in a show, and other things about what you’re watching. Great purchase!

    If you can bare with the lumens, how dark it is relative to other similar projectors, then if not for this one thing, this would’ve been 5 stars, but the UI sucks. It is just so bad, it sits on the edge of unusable, just testing my patience. Every time there’s an ad, it glitches audio and you have reconnect. You go to do that, most times it’s works, but then after a while, it’ll freeze, and be unresponsive etc, and you waste like 5 minutes waiting and getting back to where you were in whatever you were watching. It’s funny really, because it’s is so, so simple to fix because it’s software, I simply can’t understand how Samsung let this go out like this. If feels like it’s a really good imitation of itself, with how the lumens and UI feel.

    Incredible picture quality and the auto adjust is awesome. Set up was quick and easy and once you get the mini HDMI cable it connects to any device with an HDMI port. However after anout a week it turned off and never turned back on. Best buy was more than willing to fix or replace it but the damage was done and i was no longer intetested in it.
