Amazing Little Projector…

Having never owned a projector before I was interested in the flexibility of the Freestyle 2nd Gen. It came really well presented with minimal packaging and the bonus of the carry case as well. It would have been nice if they included a HDMI to Micro HDMI in the box as whilst it is plug and play for apps like Netflix, Disney etc, if you wish to connect to a Blu Ray player or games console you will need the adapter.
In the box you get the Freestyle 2nd Gen, USB C plug and cable (albeit that the cable could do with being longer) and also the remote. The remote is particularly nice and has a soft touch feel to it and has a solar panel on the back and USB C input at the base.The projector also has a cover already installed which you have to screw off before use.
Set up was easy, pretty much plug and play. It takes you into the Samsung User Interface which is very familiar if you have ever used a smart TV or streaming stick. Clearly listing a range of available apps you can log into such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney and Samsung’s own free TV service.
The Freestlye 2nd Gen is very clever and recognises the surface it is aimed towards and it’s undisturbed space and offers a picture sized to fit that space. I tried it on several walls and each time it auto focused to fit the area. At times there is a very small amount of adjusting which can be done with through the simple interface.
At full size it really does fill walls with around 8 ft horizontally covered, if not slightly more.
We have watched a range of films and streaming on it and for the most part it has been really impressive. It is always much better in a totally dark room as light is it’s biggest problem. If you do watch in a dark room it really stands out, the colours are great and it also offers several picture modes including dynamic which punches the colours up and increases contrast. It also have Movie which is a flatter profile but generally better for most films otherwise they can look a bit over-processed on the dynamic setting.
The sound from such a small device is really a standout feature, even on low volumes it can clearly be heard. Push the volume up and it fills the room. This is not to compare to a dedicated speaker but it is comparable for most modern TV’s and considering it’s compact form it is really impressive.
For anyone who has friends or family over, or simply enjoys watching immersive content, it really is a great way to do it, plus it offers the portability.
