Where did you get that it's only 230 ANSI lumens? I'm still confused with these marketing lumens terminologies but I thought LED lumens around the same as ANSI already. My guess is this will be around as bright as Philips PicoPix Max or maybe a bit dimmer which is pretty bright for its size but we really can't expect any portable projector of this size to be usable on a well lit room.

[@ctran1955]

Just bought a Xgimi halo last year lol! I knew projectors were going to get big sooner or later. It’ll never replace TVs but I’m glad Samsung is bringing some innovation and attention to the market. If it ever goes on sale, I’d consider picking this one up. Also the gaming point is interesting, I’m not a serious gamer but the lag on a projector tends to make it feel a little clunky. The mini HDMI is a little bit of a let down but makes sense Edit: I realized the Halo has a gaming mode but it makes the colors a bit ugly!

This is cool, but it’s ultimately just a copy of the Beam Smart Projector that was released on Kickstarter about 6 years ago. I purchased one of the Beam projectors, and their concrete stands, worked brilliantly for about 5 years until the software just became slow. Keen to check out Samsung’s take.

[@technologyisawesome6913]

Wow, this is a great product but one drawback is the 1080p resolution. It will be perfect if it can be 4k, we are in the year 2022. I think is about time we say goodbye to 1080p and make everything 4k.

[@AninoNiKugi]

At this size, 4k isn't still there. Even most full blown 4k projectors are not really native 4K because they use pixel shifting technique. Native 4k projectors still costs thousands 😄

[@technologyisawesome6913]

Wow really? Wait just adding more pixels can increase the price to more than 1k? 1080p display resolution has been around for sometime now and is getting annoying that tech companies still make 1080p display when mobile phone cameras and other new cameras are now shooting 8k videos. How long do they want to talk to finally say goodbye to 1080p displays.

[@amrbasri68]

I feel like 2k, 2.5k should be the standard and anything above like 3k 4k is nice. Since macbooks which are considered premium devices have been coming with 3k displays for a while and giving ppl tht great content consumption experience.

[@technologyisawesome6913]

@@amrbasri68 I think 4k should be the standard. Is better to move straight to 4k than to gradually move to 4k. 4k display resolution gives you a better viewing experience above other display resolution.

Lost me when you brought the Xiaomi Smart Compact projector in, yes, that one might not have such advanced features, but its good enough and the latest version does compete with the Samsung's auto keystone features, while having twice the ANSI brightness, so good that non sponsored videos praise it as one of the best in his class or price range, the Freestyle simply isnt that, its a versatile but VERY overpriced projector.

[@steveofficial6905]

This does look really awesome I think if Samsung release this product sometime in 2022 in the UK this will definitely be on my tech list of things to get this year for sure - I only have one issue though and that's the bulb life which is something Samsung haven't exactly said - wouldn't the bulb die out on this thing? Or is it only powered by the powered consumption plug that comes with the device meaning the bulb will never die out?

[@XxXStoneFingerXxX]

Not exactly sure what you mean, the bulb itself surely outlives the device. If you ask about runtime, this device has no built-in battery. It’ll be powered via USB-C; external batteries/powerbanks need to support PD of at least 50W. 30000mAh give 3 hours of projection iirc.

If you have issues with volume not working with your firestick, go into volume settings and you will find your solution there.

[@WhatThePheel]

Needs to be plugged in? No battery life? How does this compare to the Anker Nebula Capsule 2?

[@18earendil]

There is an optional battery pack you can plug at the bottom like the light plug adapter. While it's suck it will probably not included in the base $999, in my opinion, in a purely technical pov, the separate battery pack you clip on is a better choice than an internal battery in term of the battery longevity and obviously in replaceability of the battery. While the ideal would be that you can open the battery pack to replace the battery in it (but I don't hold my breath on that), we are at least sure that the battery is replaceable. Now, let hope that the light source, the other componant which will wear down the faster, won't be too hard to replace.
