There’s a built-in 360-degree 5-watt speaker to handle the audio, which should allow everyone in the room to hear things no matter where the Freestyle is placed. Particularly when you’re spending this much money. The Freestyle is capable of 1080p Full HD and is HDR compatible, though you won’t be able to get anything in the 4K and up range, and I have to say I’m a bit surprised this unit doesn’t have (almost universally standard) 4K resolution. You can also move the Freestyle closer and reduce the screen size down to 30 inches at about two and a half feet. While small in size, The Freestyle is able to project a screen of up to 100 inches at a distance of about 9 feet. It seems like it’s the video equivalent of a wireless speaker designed to throw in your bag and bring out at a party or get-together or to turn any wall into a movie theater. The cylindrical unit is 102x173x95mm (or 4x7x3.7 inches), making it very portable and easy to move. Going along with that blending into the room thing, The Freestyle comes in four different non-standard colours: white, blossom pink, forest green, and coyote beige. But what’s the appeal, how is the video picture, is it as versatile as Samsung would have you believe, and overall would it be a good buy for you? I recently borrowed one of these units from Samsung to test it and review in my home. ![]() This projector is ultra small and packed with technology, and Samsung’s been marketing it hard. ![]() Case in point the new Samsung The Freestyle video projector. They allow you to create a very large image and thanks to their smaller size they can be placed in a variety of locations where a standard flatscreen TV just won’t work. So why haven’t projectors gone away? It’s because they’re generally a good idea. There lies the trouble many people have with imagining projectors as a desirable gadget for home use… at home projectors were known for being substandard often weak in the brightness department, loud (fan noise), and generally hit or miss depending on the unit you bought and the technology within it. For many years they were a substandard way to splash larger than life videos up on a classroom screen, but at the same time they’re the only way most major motion pictures get displayed in movie theaters. Only good to turn it on/off non-manually and even that doesn’t work half the time.Projectors are an interesting category. What does ‘music’, ‘color’, ‘laser’ or ‘scene’ change? How do you change the color, again? For a while there were some procreated automated scenes which I loved using, but those disappeared too! Redownloading the app, reconnecting the device, and resetting my wifi hasn’t fixed any of these issues - so all I can hope for is a better app to be created, or perhaps a remote?Īgain, excellent product, not so great app. On top of that you can create ‘scenes’, but it’s hard to understand what a lot of the options mean. It also doesn’t always turn on/off through the app, and requires to be turned on/off manually. It was a great feature - while I was able to find it. ![]() When I first connected my device, I was able to use the app to change the color, using a color wheel I haven’t been able to find since. My main complaint though is the app is awful to use. But if you want a beautiful galaxy in your room, this is the product. It’s well worth the price, which I originally worried it wasn’t. I use it almost every night and had it set up beside my bed. Since I bought this lamp it has been everything I could have imagined and more. With all the different companies and instead of designing something better, most are the same or better yet, well… worse These are great lights that work with Ole Girl Alexa but it’s just so shocking that after all these years and so so very many other brands of these “space”or “galaxy” lamps, that absolutely!NO ONE! can seem to get them right! It’s hilarious bc even the really expensive “planetarium” (supposed) style ones aren’t what they are priced up to be! Like the stars or laser on these you cannot set it to be completely off for whatever reason from the slider (inside this app)that brightens and dims the stars or laser, so therefore I keep it turned off bc it’s just too bright and too many overpowering “patterned”stars (looks like those Xmas ones shining on the front of houses or trailers in the trailer park!otherwise it’s TACKY! Stop it! Also why not update these with new functions or affects? That’s why I say all these brands out there and they’re all the SAME tacky galaxy lamp lol.
