Samsung LSP3BL 100" The Freestyle Smart Projector

I partnered with the local library and we came up with the idea for a gaming club for the inner city. Once we used it for that and saw how it worked we ended up showing a movie to the entire town. Now this is something we can do every week for the boys and girls in our neighborhood.

Just got this delivered a couple of weeks ago and we love the versatility of the projector. We stream our Sunday sermon for our Bible study group and we appreciate the ability to use as a very big screen tv so all can see the message.

Worst tech product I have ever purchased. The processor is extremely slow and glitchy, and the functions freeze all the time. It always starts playing the Samsung TV channel, and the remote, when it works, takes 4-5 seconds to control the device after pressing any button. Many of the apps do not load content and just time out trying to open. The auto-focus and screen size features do not work well and typically result in a crooked picture. I have already returned this device once due to manufacture defect. This idea is great, but the product is horrible.

Any use the projectile style cinematic entertainment center on wheels will keep a gamer pixelated and movie lovers involved in any adventure,drama,or blank screen with its 1080 pixel abilities
Projector is surrounded by sound that is super charged with its durable bling it decorates any room it illuminates with its 100 inches of entertainment.

I use it for travel when a regular television is not available. I take it to get togathers, the lake, and motels. Sometimes we have backyard movie viewing. I like the fact that it is so portable and does not require anything other than wifi to watch movies.

I had bought the Samsung freestyle projector from Target a week ago. First thing it did was the projector never connected to any Bluetooth devices. We made sure that the software was upto date and did the factory reset but still did not worked.
Second thing, the resolution was so distorted that I even get the better result in the 15 year old 720 P Epson projector than this. I tried manual focus and everything but nothing changed the image quality.
Third, the remote and the software is soo unresponsive that few times, i felt like the projector hung up (it take more than 30 seconds to respond and go to the required focus settings).
Forth, when i contacted the Samsung support, i was expected if they can try to do some troubleshooting remotely rather than asking it to be shipped to support center.
With all these bad experience, i have decided to return this product. But I am still willing to buy another device to make sure that there was not an issue with device itself - Before i loose all hope. I hope it turns out to be a better product and hope Samsung can make a note of the issues.

I bought this at a good price. It is a great addition to bedroom

Pros:
Portability
Sound quality
auto adust keystone and focus
don't need a screen
Acts as Samsung Hub

Cons:
2022 model doesn't have Game Hub built in.

Plug and play is the name of the game. You plug it in, face it to a wall and it works. I have been able to face the projector at multiple angles toward just about any wall. The keystone automatically adjusts to the wall, if for some reason it doesn't work then it is very easy to fix. It is also very easy to carry. I often take it to family events. I just wait for it to get dark enough and put up a white sheet or even just face It to a white wall. As long as it is dark the image is clear and clean. I have had to purchase a mini hdmi to hdmi converter to physically attach my phone or computer. If all you need it for is to watch streaming services then the freestyle is all you need. The freestyle is accessible and allows you to view all major streaming services directly on the device. It has been very convenient and makes family gatherings all that more fun. Sometimes I will attach my tablet and generate random words to take turns drawing and guessing what the word is. I have taken the freestyle with me to many places and it never fails to impress.

Very good product, super bright and easy to use. No need to make adjustment - you can move to a different location and the projector adjusts itself to project the image that is instantly balanced and sharp.

Great picture for projection tv. Had to service unit due to main board was defective but since then it has worked great. Before having it serviced it was having difficulty finding my Bluetooth speaker. Always had to repair about once a week but since being serviced it hasn't had any problems with my Bluetooth speaker. So if your having any issues with the Freestyle I suggest to have it serviced before the warranty runs out. All in all I still give it a 10. Look for it on sale. I thought I was getting a deal but about a month later it was on a ridicules sale. I could have save 300 instead of 100 dollars. Oh well, live and learn

I don't like that the projector won't stay in its place. It will eventually start lowering when it's warm. Also every do often the projector will often turn off on its own. Maybe it's running too hot. I want to live the product but it does have its defects

A simple turn of the device and it automatically autofocuses for the best picture regardless of the angle. This is by far the best projector I have ever owned in over twenty years since laser disk! I got a car cigarette power adapter to where I can then plug in the 12v socket and those in the back seat on long road trips can enjoy a show or movie along the drive. Great for outdoor picnics as well just get a generator that produces energy for the device and viola! Honestly Glad I got it at discount though cause no way in He** this is worth $799.99!

Good features like YouTube Netflix amazon video and of course samsung live TV for free you can mirroring any video with your smartphone to the projector compatibility with Android phones is perfect

Great TV and great shop experience. Good picture and sound. But unfortunately we have already had to have two parts replaced and we are still having the same issues. We have problems with the TV connecting to Sky, we have had Sky out numerous times and we keep having to turn the TV off at the mains switch to get Sky back on.

We love our new projector! It is a Samsung TV on the wall and on the go. Easy to setup! It comes with a remote but you can also use the Samsung Smart Things app on your phone as a remote also. Love It

It shuts down like it's overheating great unit while it's on working 25 _30 minutes then shuts down.

Bought this a couple of months ago and I have to say I have become quite attached to it. It's very handy in a small bedroom where you don't want to have to fit an entire TV + stand. The UI, though not super fast, does everything that you would expect. Speakers are great and I love how the remote is USB C rechargeable. The auto keystone is a bit finicky sometimes but works fine for the most part. You can always manually correct if it can't get it right. I just wish it were a tad bit brighter, as it's only really usable at night.

Pros:
- Portability
- Lots of features
- Clear, powerful speakers
- Image quality
Cons:
- Brightness
- UI could be faster
- A bit pricey

Took forever to set up EVERYTIME we try to use it. Last two times we couldn't adjust the size. Making it worthless. Then it shuts off and won't turn on. We used it 20 times at the most!

I recommend to everyone I know. This is hands down the best projector I have ever owned. Self adjusting size, self focus and a fantastic picture. We use it for movie nights on the back patio. Even has great sound quality from thd samd unit. We use it on wifi for all of our streaming channels. I hope to get thd back up battery next so that we can watch movies anywhere. If you try 1 product this year, make it thd freestyle!!!

Functional but not well tested or set up. It gets the job done but is clunky and I am still debating whether or not to return it.

Pros: the screen set up is pretty easy as long as you have a plug and a place to project it. You can stream Netflix and Amazon etc like a smart tv but you have to do it from the device (not your computer). I have a Mac and the only way to play things is AirPlay (which Netflix / hbo etc don't allow). So I can do presentations from my laptop but aside from that it is more or less a stand alone tv, in a projector body.

Cons: the software is like a beta version of Apple TV and is just not good. To adjust sound or picture you have to navigate all the way back to the main menu and go through a bunch of clicks to get to it. A better set up is to have it as an option on the remote or directly accessible while watching whatever. Also, the power button doesn't work unless I unplug and reply the device in. Overall it's clunky and frustrating to use for a Samsung product. I like it's portability and the image so far has been decent.

Purchased about three weeks ago. The size of the projector is really nice, however, it is definitely lacking in features compared to other ones at the same price point would like to see a brighter green so it can be used in rooms with light, otherwise you have to be in almost total darkness. It was also nice to be able to have actual regular size HDMI connections. Also, a built-in battery would make this perfect otherwise, lower the price and it’s a good enough projector.

I purchased it when it's on sale for $399. With this price, I did not expect too much. However, it really surprise me. It has very high quality pictures and I can use remote control to watch youtube and prime video easily. I can also control it using my phone. I can project my photos as well as my video in my phone to the projector easily. I am using iphone, so I did not expect it is as easy as apple tv. However, somehow, it works great.

Gave this projector to my husband for Christmas 2022. He was admitted into the hospital on Dec 2022. I set this up to play on his room’s ceiling and it is unbelievably clear, large screened, and so easy to connect.
I would recommend this projector to anyone. You don not have to be tech savvy to use this projector.

I gave this to my husband for Christmas 2022 and he was admitted to the hospital on December 28, 2022. I set this to play on his hospital room’s ceiling. It was so easy to set up.
You don’t have to be very tech savvy to use this projector. I just typed in my streaming services log ins and we were good to go.
I would highly recommend this projector.

Bad:
The picture quality, need to constant adjustment each time you move it, low luminance that require complete dark to see any text size without blur make it hard to use and recommend. Annoying inability to stop Samsung TV+ to always pop up every time when nothing is running, unless completely disable this feature, which define the purpose of this app.
Good:
Really like Compact Design. Good sound for the size. OKAY Colors (in full dark). Got it under $400 which makes good value if above bad issues are solved.
Bottom line:
Unless you using it in total dark and not plan to move it, its good gadget, where you have no option to use regular panel TV.

Dark Room Use Only

Pros; Easily setup, viewing options (Samsung TV, subscriptions like Netflix and Prime), portable, good local sound, pretty good (but not great) picture quality, pretty good sound (can add bluetooth speaker), connected Samsung account.

Cons; No controls on projector so if remote breaks..., HORRIBLE picture (nearly can't see anything at all) with just a little light coming through the window or trying to use on partially covered patio.

Just received for Christmas and is amazing Color sound image.

Headline speaks for itself. This thing is fantastic. Idk how they packed so much power into such a small unit but wow. When i powered it up i was truly impressed. I will certainly be getting the battery attachment so i can host movie nights in the park this summer.

I've had this for a couple of months now and so far, overall, I am pleased with it. I have it setting on my dresser, projecting onto a wall about 7-8 feet away resulting in a 75" screen. It is angled upwards and to the side but the keystone correction has worked flawlessly for me.

After using this for about a month, I wanted to get one of the cheaper projectors on Amazon to try out and compare to. I spent about $200 so I didn't expect it to necessarily be a fair comparison but the Freestyle was so much better than the cheaper one in every way imaginable. I didn't realize exactly how much I appreciate the keystone correction on the Freestyle until I didn't have it. I mean, the one from Amazon *did* have horizontal keystone correction but not vertical. If I had kept it set up in my bedroom, the projector would have to have been left at the foot of the bed, taking up floor space. Additionally, there were several areas of the screen that got blurry and not nearly as clear as the Freestyle. Unlike the Freestyle which feels very well built, the other unit felt like a kids toy, very cheaply made. After about 10 minutes, I ended up putting the other projector back in the box and returned it.

I mainly use the Freestyle to watch YouTube and Vudu and for that, it's worked pretty flawlessly. My primary complaint, like most people, is that it just isn't as bright as I'd like it to be. With the lights dimmed, it's still acceptable, it just makes darker content hard to see at times. The audio is surprisingly loud and clear but I did opt to set it up with a bluetooth sound bar that makes it just a bit better and allows for more bass. I also have this set up with some off-brand bluetooth headphones and it's paired to my Buds 2 Pro but the Buds seem to have a connection issue that causes the audio to cut out a lot. The off-brand headphones don't have that issue. Having said that, the device does pretty well with automatically prompting to connect to whatever bluetooth device I have powered on, only rarely needing to go into the settings to force the connection.

One thing that I've struggled with is getting the device to just load to the main screen or the last app I used. It's a crapshoot whether it's going to load to the last app or if I'll be watching some cartoon network episode when it powers on. It's set to go to the last app but that doesn't always happen. It's quite annoying but not a deal breaker.

Also, the UI is (like other people stated) slow. Sometimes it seems more responsive than others but usually, there's a significant delay between pressing a button on the remote and something actually happening on the device. Having said that, I'm not using this to go channel surfing so it's a minor annoyance that I've learned to deal with.

Like I said, overall, I'm pretty happy with this but I'm still undecided if I'm going to keep it. I can spend a little more money and get a 75" TV that would be much brighter AND have a 4K picture. The only downside is that I would lose the option of portability. I can take this with me on vacation and have a big screen anywhere I go so long as it's in a darker environment.

For the original asking price, I'm thinking this deserves about 3.5 stars due to the sluggish UI and dark picture but the form factor, fantastic experience I've had with the auto keystone correction, the sound... basically the overall versatility, I'll push that to 4 stars. Also, while the picture is darker than I'd like, it is a very consistently nice picture with no noticeable distortion.

I bought this at launch abd while it is a good idea, the execution is so bad that I cant believe this is a tested product brought to retail. It works maybe 70% of the time, the UI is a steaming pile of garbage, the keystone and focus are a joke. Samsung got us on this

It's simple and powerful at the same time I highly recommend it

I purchased this product over Black Friday and my family loves movie nights

This item looks cool but will not work. Too many bugs to handle. Smarthub will not work after some time and have issues to simply turn the projector on.
Not just for me but for all of my friends who purchased this device at the same time.

the size, set-up, and mobility of this projector is awesome. the built in stereo is pretty decent and the picture quality is acceptable as long as the screen is kept less than 100 inches. i also love the slick universal remote that it comes with. i bought it on sale do the price is much better than its original retail price which was probably too high to begin. with. finally i was very disappointed in the shipping of this product as it was sent without being package. the device's box was used as tge shipping box which is unacceptable. the box arrived soiled and dirty. i mean what if this was going to be given as a gift not to mention the potential of damage to the device itself. i would expect a little more professionalism from samsung.

I use this in my gym and bedroom. It’s great quality and beautiful. Worth every penny. Not sure why overall reviews aren’t 4.5 and 5!

Overall, I liked the design. It is a very nice projector. I really like that it has Apple AirPlay and all the smart apps! The only thing I did not like was the software. It is very laggy and sometimes glitches. I own a Samsung Smart TV and the software does not compare. If the software were not laggy, I would like the product. Maybe in the future.

I needed a new TV for my bedroom. I have a 45 degree angled wall that I wanted to project onto. This Samsung Freestyle was the perfect solution. It's very easy to set up and understand the instructions. I can control it by the included rechargeable remote control or by my Samsung tablet.

I have used this about two months now. This works in dark room, but the projected screen is bright enough if the curtain is closed in daytime. I like the auto adjustment feature to reshape the screen depending on angle, but do not shoot it high degree -- you will sacrifice the screen size. I place it about 8 feet / 20 degree from the wall without a screen, it makes about 90 in" screen. The screen is great with lights off. It connects to my Synology server without any issue. It connects my PC or Macbook Air with or without cable.

Purchased this item a few months ago. When it works as designed it is a delight. The screen is crisp, resolution is great, sounds is ok. It has some of the most frequently used apps available. I use an Iphone and screen mirroring works great. It is definitely portable, even though you have to connect it to power. If your going camping or things of that nature, one always has an extra power source so its no big deal. It stands and points pretty simply as well. (Samsung Battery Pack sold separately) Connect a Bluetooth speaker for best experience. There are glitches that happen when using the product that I have experienced. For example, i am displaying the screen with all of the features on auto. The screen will play great but then out of nowhere the screen will auto adjust to a different aspect ratio or direction. No way to change it back but going into the settings (which takes sometime to load) then manually adjusting the screen again. The auto features work great when they want to but sometimes they act up, id say an 80/20 percent of the time. I have also experienced a glitch in which my Samsung automatically resets itself to factory default. Having to reinstall everything and connecting to Wi-Fi again out of nowhere. Seems odd but again 8/10 times it will work great, its just those rare times are a real inconvenience. Overall im glad with the purchase.

exceeds expectations. has features that are not available on other projectors.

i decided to buy the freestyle on a whim and thought i would regret it but once i got to playing around with it i was convinced it was no mistake! the picture quality was terrific although i do not recommend projecting on a heavily texured wall. i love how the picture adjusts and it is so user friendly. the size is perfect for me as i do plan on using it anywhere i possibly can and it would make it so much easier to move my living room furniture around with out having to lift a heavy and large television. this purchase will make my life easier to say the least! samsung has not let me down throughout all these years of purchasing cell phones, tv's and home appliances! love all my samsung products!

Bought it on 15 October 2022 when it's on sale. The package came with a damage. The remote control has a sticker that looks like a refurbished product (photos attached). The project functionality is very poor: only can use at night or really dark room, the keystone not working as my expectation (video attached). I will return this.

Easy to set up and use. My family and I are glad we made this purchase. We can't stop using it! Inside or outside this is always primo quality picture.

This is one of the worst product I have ever purchased from Samsung. It worked just one day.
It had powering issues and the customer care people helped to send it to service center, after the product is returned it was turning on but nothing works in it.
I have wasted my money and time.
My friends purchased the same device along with me, they have the similar experience.
They should discontinue this product.

A lot if things need to be fixed, inuding charging and over-heating, together with couple of user interface adjustments

I purchased this item and 3 days after the price was reduced by $400! I reached out to customer service with no prevail. Even without that issue, this projector is not worth the price. It is difficult to connect devices, it does not adjust properly to screen and the volume is very muffled. I was extremely excited for this device and was let down big time. Do not recommend! I love Samsung devices but this failed me.

The picture quality is pretty great for its size and price. The internal fan is fairly quiet as well. Overall it's a great projector with almost all the features of a samsung smart tv. However you can't set up Google assistant as your voice assistant on the Freestyle. Other than that, I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking to get an affordable smart tv

Broke after 1 week. Slow UI, dim 550 lumens. Not worth 900. Next generation hopefully it will actually work. This product as sold seems like a test version.

Do not buy this product unless it is under $200. it is slow, does not work properly and breaks down easily. brightness level is terrible. will only be effective in a very dark room.

Wasn't expecting much but pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to setup and how good the auto keystone is.
