The Freestyle 2nd Gen - SP-LFF3CLAXXXU
Small but VERY mighty!

Let’s start at the beginning. You know the phrase “small but mighty”? Well, that’s the perfect description of this little monster of a projector, the Samsung Freestyle Gen2.
When the box arrived I was genuinely a little concerned. How can something this small create an image on the wall bright enough or big enough to enjoy? Especially coming from an old school projector I borrowed form work a few years ago.
So first off I expected to spend ages getting it level, working out the keystone angle, get it all focussed in before watching anything. Erm, wait…what?! I pointed it at a wall and within seconds the projector had done ALL of that for me. Honestly, Auto keystone and Auto focus? Wowsers this is something special!
OK so setup was an absolute breeze, switched it on and everything feels super familiar, just like a Samsung TV only in a tiny cylinder. Log into all the streaming apps, TV apps, fire up Alexa or Bixby and let’s get stuck into a movie.
First thing’s first, the picture quality is SHARP, great colours, and image and crazy bright for such a small projector, heck for a projector much bigger and more expensive even. This thing is impressive.
Next thing was the sound quality, the days of trying to connect to some sort of home speaker system are over, the spatial sound form the Freestyle is very impressive, super clear and great immersive audio. I’d liken it to a fairly decent soundbar.
Watched some cartoons, a movie, and sports - all looked great!
Next up, thought I’d try a little big of gaming. Synched my XB controller and tried out both Xbox ckoud and GeForce Now streaming. All I can say is flawless performance, great image, low latency and an all round great experience.
I have used it for a good few days now and honestly blown away by this. Something so sharp and bright in such a small package is incredible, add in the compact carrying case and I just cannot wait to get away for there weekend in the camper van, imagine being able to hop outside at night, and play some games or watch a movie on the side of the van. Amazing. (Apparently there’s a battery to make it completely portable too, I must see about buying one!)
Tech moves so darned fast, and it’s a joy to be part of the leaps and bounds when they are as good as this!
Bravo Samsung you have a real winner here!
