After reading done negative reviews, I started to get nervous. But as soon as I turned it on I felt relief. This thing is super cool. Although I own two high end Samsung QLEDs which have unparalleled picture...I still am happy with this HD projector. The photos taken of it aren't actually as cool as it is in person. It's vivid and crisper than I was expecting. What truly surprised me was the sound. It's on par with the picture quality. If you want a projector that you can move around the house, inside and out, throw on ceilings or walls or to have a fun family movie night, this is for you. It's good enough that you won't be bothered that it's not your Magnolia level TV. However, if you want an every day use, to notch projector, go for the short throw 4k from Samsung.
Now the little negatives. The thing seems too heavy as it does droop when tilted to anything close to perpendicular. I have to prop it up sometimes. That's my biggest issue. Now the menu is slow but only in the settings mostly but it's not a deal breaker. The auto keystone truly doesn't work. It tries but fails every single time. However if you tune it manually, then you're all set until you movythe projector again. These last two issues should be resolved by a firmware update so fingers crossed. The main drawback here is the drooping if the unit itself, the stand can't hold the weight of the cylinder.
All in all I am pleased with the freestyle but I'm already fearing that 2.0 will be better. Meanwhile, it movie time.

This device is a MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR GO, this projector is lightweight easy to learn how to use. The clarity is great it's 1080p the auto keystone auto focus is a gem all you have to do is point and it'll adjust for you, definitely great for family time, or hosting GameDay's. The setup is a snap! I recommend using the remote to setup the device instead of your phone to me it's was very easy, the remote is also a snap to use as well, it's a remote people so relax do over do it, but do I recommend the freestyle heck yeah it's a must like I said for family nights or game night...

I was hesitant to purchase this projector due to the $799.99 price. Went on sale for $599.99 while i was researching. When I say this product is well worth the price, I feel it was a steal at the sale price that I got it for. What I like most about this projector is that you do not have to mirror what you watch from a phone or computer everything is built it. Seeing that all of my tv's in my home are Samsung I am use to the interface of it. The picture is amazing. I watched on my patio while with a light on and picture was better than previously owned projectors.

I chose this projector because most of my electronics are in the Google or Samsung family. I don't have anything to compare this projector to (aside from the ones from school that were huge and mounted on the ceiling).
Personally I've never had TVs in my bedroom so this is a really good compromise (there's no big black rectangle on the wall, I don't have to mount anything, etc)
This was easy to setup and looks amazing in my bedroom. The only con I would say is that the fan can be loud, but honestly when the volume is at 40+ you can hardly hear the fan. I use the projector without a sheet or screen and it looks good. I haven't needed to hook up with projector to an external speaker but I would definitely consider this in the future. I heard that an updated projector would be coming out within the next year so I'll definitely be looking to upgrade when that happens.

We love it! We point it at our ceiling and watch movies in bed every night. We’ve also used it in daytime, it’s tolerable when the room is brighter but incredible in the dark.
Purchased one month ago and no complaints at all. The auto focus and keystone correction make it fast and easy to change where we project it. Start up is fast, machine doesn’t make too much noise, it’s compact and really easy to use.

I'm impressed with all that it can do in such a small form factor. It's portability was a real selling point for me since I can basically take it anywhere and project it to just about any wall. Movies and games look great on it and even though the speaker it comes with is just fine, connecting a sound bar takes it to another level.

It’s picture quality is great and how it will focus it’s self. The fact that i can connect my bose speaker to it by remote and it automatically turns on the speaker. The projector itself has pretty good weight to it and once i postioned it had no problems with it moving or anything. And the remote gets charged by the same charger as the projector.

I really loved the picture quality of the projector. It automatically refocused when I would change its location such as in the bedroom versus using a projector screen. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because it can not be used outside in broad daylight.So daytime football games are not an option. Overall it is easy to use, setup and the speaker quality is amazing!
A:Musicman - If you'd like to watch local channels, you will need to connect The Freestyle to a digital tuner with an HDMI output. Please also keep in mind The Freestyle includes perks of Samsung Smart TV such as the built-in App Store, featuring hundreds of available apps to choose and download from, as well as Samsung TV Plus which offers hundreds of free channels of news, sports, movies, and much more. ^Gina
A:Hi Dacosta - You sure can! The Freestyle supports the following Video Containers: 3GPP, ASF, AVI, FLV, MKV, MOV, MP4, PS, RMVB, SVAF, VOB, VRO, WEBM. Hope this helps! ^Gina
A:550 LED lumens and about 250 ANSI lumens... which sounds bad but in reality, my 12 year old 2500 lumen large projector is about the same brightness.
All these devices work best in dark rooms.
You need the "white" wall to look black to get contrast.
I can run the Freestyle with smaller image on a white wall that isnt full sun and see an image. but you never get black.
In an almost dark room, the room the image is great.
In a semi dark room, the image can be quite good.
Also depends what you are displaying.
Bright colourful images show better than dark ones.
A:Most companies accept pre-orders so they know how many units to prepare by the release date. Best Buys shipping date is most likely inaccurate and will be updated when Samsung gives a firm release date to them. Usually pre-orders ship before the product releases in the store so the item arrives on or just before the release date.
