The Freestyle Projector
Complete portable entertainment…

I have never owned an at-home projector, but I use them fairly frequently at work. I have had to lug those things around when doing presentations and they are cumbersome. So, the first thing I noticed with the Samsung Freestyle was the portability. The projector itself is about the size of a coffee can. Add in a small power bank and you literally have an entire entertainment center suitable for a crowd, including the power source, that fits in a large purse or small backpack.
So what about quality? I am in the market for a TV for my back deck, so was hoping this might be a truly portable replacement option. It is a high-quality projector with fairly reasonable sound quality, and the ability to sync a couple of Bluetooth speakers to really improve the range. But unfortunately, it is still a projector so while the video quality is great, it is best at dusk or dark.
I thought set-up was pretty easy, basically the same as setting up a smart TV. But I have run in to a couple of negatives that are worth mentioning. The auto-adjust feature to square up the picture regardless of projection angle is a great idea, but doesn’t seem to work that well in practice. I have had to manually adjust the projection each time. It isn’t that difficult once you figure out how, but I was really looking forward to being able to basically set it anywhere and have the picture fix itself.
Finally, I have been unsuccessful in getting auto-play to turn off. I have tried multiple solutions I found online, but it still defaults to playing the Samsung TV app every time I turn the projector on.
