Samsung The Freestyle
Great bit of tech

Having had the freestyle for just over a week now, we have used it a number of times with a mix of video types. Unboxing was fairly simple, minimal packaging but at the same time it felt secure and that it wouldn't have received damage on transit.
Setting up the freestyle was easy and simple, the hardest bit was getting the remote to pair, but that might have been my own stupidity.
Whenever you turn it on or move where it's pointing it will auto focus and keystone without asking. The majority of the time this is accurate and on point, occasionally it does require a little adjustment, but this is more when your projecting to a non flat surface.
Ive used this projector at night for a film but also in a duim but not dark room whilst watching football, both of which work well.
I've always been a fan of Samsung devices so this works well with the infrastructure I already have, being able. To use the apps built in or Using Smart View with apps not found on the projector.
The speaker quality is good and definitely loud enough with the examples I've used it in, I can't wait to be able to use in summer in the garden for movies and sporting events.
The mood lighting that comes with it isn't something I think I would use, seems a bit of a gimic but I will try it at some point.
The operating system on it feels a little clunky, partly due to it not being android which I expected so it wasn't as intuitive as I would have liked, there still seems to be bits I need to learn. I guess this isn't necessarily Samsung fault, it's just not as easy to pick up. The menus and remote use seem a little laggy, although fairly straightforward. I need to learn the easy ways to get to adjustments etc.
I'm not a sure it'd ever replace a TV and potentially that isn't what they're trying for anyway, and I've yet to try running it off of a battery pack to see how long it lasts.
The other thing that I wanted to mention with the freestyle is the case for the projector that came with it is great for transporting it about, I just wish it had space for the remote and/or cables for its use as I find them getting chucked into a bag, with potentially for damage or loss.
I'm not 100% the marketed price would get me to purchase it normally as I think it would then become a neccesity rather than a want, and I wouldn't say I needed a projector, but at a slightly cheaper price it's then a want and therefore, it's affordable.
