Really cool toy for the…

I've bought a few projectors over the years and as I didn't want one fixed to the wall, or a dedicated cinema room set up, they've all been a pain to set up each time I want to watch a film or set up a movie night for the kids.
The Samsung Freestyle 2nd Gen is a game changer for someone like me. So simple to set up in a couple of minutes. FIrst time opening the box, I plugged it in, it registered on my Smartthings app, and I was watching trailers on the built in apps on my kitchen ceiling!
The real game changer is the auto picture set up. Swivelling the base of the projector, it now pointed to the wall, the image suddenly snapped square and auto-focused. What an amazing bit of kit!
I decided to do a movie night for the kids, last time I tried this, I spent about an 20 minutes getting my projector set up on a table, plugging in my amazon tv stick, trying to get the picture square and nicely focused etc. This time around, I simply plugged it in, turned it on and pointed it at the wall. Job done, kids happy.
Since then, I left it on the shelf and the kids have been watching Netflix, Prime Video and BBC iPlayer on the built in apps. I think it might just be their new best toy!
Looking forward to using it over Halloween and Christmas to cast pumpkins and snowflakes/santa on the wall to add that extra spooky/festive effect to the house.
Overall a really cool piece of technology.
When I compare to my other projector, the only real negative I can find is that the image does not have the best black contrast and the image is not very bright (my other projector is a beast that kicks out what must be the brightness of the sun, whilst sounding like an airraft taking off). Apart from that, I can't really fault it. The software is super responsive, the image is sharp and the motion on moving images is smooth. Really happy with the projector, I think it might be time to sell my other one!
A few extra bits to note:
"Tap to view" is amazing! I can tap my Samsung Galaxy S23 to the projector and it mirrors my screen - makes it great to view photos and videos with the family.
I connected the projector via HDMI to my Samsung Q990B soundbar and Nvidia Shield and had a full blown cinema experience with Dolby Atmos over arc
