Samsung - The Freestyle 2nd Gen with Gaming Hub

I got a Freestyle 2 which I like I can move it in between rooms and can take it camping too

I bought a Freestyle 2nd Gen off eBay for a couple hundred bucks a couple months ago and haven’t regretted it even though this sub says not to touch it with a ten foot pole. I don’t want a projector to replace my TV, I wanted something inexpensive to take on trips or visiting family or to set up wherever, whenever. It fit the bill perfectly.

There's already a projector with these features built in, and one of the few I actually recommend.... go with the Samsung freestyle 2nd gen with gaming hub. The auto focus/frame, combined with built in apps out the box? Makes a lot of this incredibly easy. I have one, its been a beast.

Freestyle isn't bad but overpriced for what it is.

They are not bad but dimmer than you expecting, maybe 300 ansi lumens max in usable picture modes, and contrast is low, 500:1 and below

I only have 1. Only tried 1. Samsung freestyle 2

Honestly, I dont understand the hate toward not having a full-size HDMI. This won't be used for home cinema, it is a consumer product that my GF is going to put next to her bed to play some movies late at night; a very casual product. Why do you need a full HDMI for anything here? Do we expect to use a less than $400 projector for 20 years, being concerned about the port not being durable? it is a technology product, in 5 years, a similar projector would be priced at $60! And this channel, although very respectable and has one of the best reviews for projectors I have seen, is comparing FS Gen 1 from 3 years ago, priced at $800, with others, which definitely don't make sense to buy. FS Gen 1 was simply not that good for that price range. Many things have changed, and although the Gen 2 specs are not a big improvement compared to Gen 1, the price tag is much lower. For example, Gen 1 was getting compared with BenQ GV50, and it couldn't stand its ground, but Gen 2 is close to half the price of BenQ GV50, and is now a pretty good option to consider. Not to mention that it has a lot of features that similarly priced alternatives don't which might be worthless for people like us that have all the other shit to daisy chain, but is a very useful addition to normal consumers.

I did end up buying it but only because it looks extremely portable and I can finance it from here. Edit: just realised that may not be a full size hdmi Edit2: I can now confirm it was micro hdmi. Not a big issue for me but still worth noting.

Honestly no clue. This projector is okay in semi dim rooms, I use it often.

So like if u make the image small it's super clear but on a large rough wall it's visible

Yeah I do have xcloud with ultimate but I'll probably use a console considering I have both the series s and x as well as the projector only supports WiFi 5

But I already bought it 😭

Don’t do the freestyle. Mine lasted 2.5 years before crapping out completely, and to fix anything on it costs more than the projector itself. Super not worth the price tag.

No $500 Projector will be watchable in dim light. If you can have a completely dark room, Samsung Freestyle is your best bet and you can pick it up for $400 on Amazon. It might not be the best but it's cheap and reliable. Just get a Google TV Box and a USB C Hub and you're good to go.
