Our Verdict

Samsung The Freestyle 2nd Gen

Samsung The Premiere LSP7T

The Samsung The Freestyle 2nd Gen and the Samsung The Premiere LSP7T are very different products. The Freestyle 2nd Gen is a small portable projector with full auto keystone image correction and a tilting stand, letting you easily adjust the projection angle. The Premiere LSP7T is a huge ultra-short throw projector with no automatic image correction features, so it's not meant for you to move it around. The Premiere is also much brighter than The Freestyle, although The Freestyle is the more accurate product.
