[Amazon.ca] Samsung The Freestyle Projector - $499

Looks like possibly all time low for the Samsung The Freestyle Projector on Amazon.ca. Must be trying to get rid of them before releasing a newer version.

Does anyone who has this can comment on the brightness?
Specs say 550 lumens, can this only be used in a pitch black room with no light source?

These are complete junk. Samsung knows it. That's why they are clearing them out for half the price they original sold for. There are too many defects for them to fix so they'd prefer to sell and get rid of the version 1. Version 2 will be coming out with all the bug fixes and better everything. My buddy is a Samsung rep and even he says they are garbage and wouldn't recommend them.

I got one for $458 at costco when they were clearing them out in the warehouse. Came up to $508 taxes in. For the price it’s a great 1080p projector. I set it up for the kids and for my fight nights. Don’t listen to all the negative reviews. I bought an adaptor for the micro hdmi port and hooked my fire stick up to it and absolutely love it. Take it up to the kids room and project it on the ceiling for movie night. I have popcorn ceiling and this projector makes it look like a smooth surface. You will need a fairly dark room to use it in or wait until night time. I project on my wall, ceiling and a 100” portable projector screen and my family and I love it. Built in speaker is pretty good as well. I wouldn’t wait for version 2 as there are really no substantive upgrades other than having 2 projectors to give a massive screen size. Everyone’s opinion is subjective. Don’t listen to those that are commenting based on specs or what reviews or their friends say.

The ANSI lumens output is supposed to be closer to 250 in real world testing.

I have used in a pitch black room and in a room with minimal light. Works best in pitch black however even in minimal light the brightness is not bad. Again everyone’s opinion is subjective and a lot of the negative comments are coming from those that have watched reviews or are reading the specs. Give it a try for yourself. My wife, kids and I are happy with this projector for the price of $458 plus taxes. Would I pay $600 or more? Absolutely not.

I used up my airmiles to get one. I'm happy with it because I didn't pay for it. If I was going to use my own money, I would wait for the second gen which should be available for purchase soon.

I have the projector and it's awesome. When the kiddo is sick i tilt it up to the ceiling and the picture auto adjusts. I also used it outside during the summer nights on a white screen and it does the job much better than any projector at this new price point. The projector needs a firmware update whenever you boot it up for the first time as it fixes the lag and some issues that it had when it first launched. It has built-in smart with apps and audio, you can't really go wrong for the price.
