The Freestyle
Form factorBasic form of the projector, in this order: if it sits right in front of the wall as an ultra-short-throw unit, it is a laser TV. If it has a built-in battery, it is mini & portable – even with a stand. A swivel stand or gimbal without a battery means compact with swivel stand. Everything else is classic, for table or ceiling.

Verdict
Pros & cons
Der HAPPRUN Bm-hd1080p ist ein einfacher Full-HD-Beamer für dunkle Räume, den Autofokus und automatische Trapezkorrektur schnell aufstellen. Statt Tageslicht und 4K liefert er gemessen rund 250 ANSI-Lumen, nativ 1920 x 1080 Pixel und ein graues Schwarz. Für Filmabende im Schlafzimmer oder Garten nach Sonnenuntergang taugt er; dich stören aber der mit 45 dB hörbare Lüfter und schwache 8-W-Lautsprecher.
Pros
- Autofokus und automatische Trapezkorrektur stellen das Bild nach dem Einschalten selbst ein
- Bei Dunkelheit bis etwa 198 cm Bildbreite, rund 90 Zoll
- Natives Full HD, Untertitel in der Bildmitte gut lesbar
- Heller als viele Mini-Beamer der Billigklasse
- Bluetooth für Soundbar oder Kopfhörer, dazu Wi-Fi 6
Cons
- Gemessen rund 250 statt beworbener 1.500 ANSI-Lumen, bei Tageslicht unbrauchbar
- Kontrast im Schachbrett knapp 9:1, Schwarz wirkt grau
- Lüfter mit 45 dB in ruhigen Szenen ständig hörbar
- Nur ein HDMI-Eingang, kein optischer Zoom und kein Lens Shift
- Netflix und viele Mediatheken fehlen je nach Ausführung
Der Samsung The Freestyle ist ein schwenkbarer Mini-Beamer, der sich in Sekunden selbst scharf und gerade stellt und Netflix ab Werk mitbringt. Er passt ins dunkle Schlafzimmer, Kinderzimmer oder Wohnmobil. Der Haken: gemessene 230 statt 550 Lumen und ein Schwarz, das nur dunkles Grau ist. Bei Tageslicht verblasst das Bild, und das Tizen-Menü reagiert spürbar träge.
Pros
- Autofokus und Trapezkorrektur richten das Bild in wenigen Sekunden aus
- Netflix, Disney+ und Prime Video laufen ohne Streaming-Stick
- Kräftige Farben und Schärfe bis an den Bildrand bei Dunkelheit
- Um 180° schwenkbar, projiziert ohne Stativ an die Decke
- Rundum strahlender Lautsprecher klingt für die Größe ordentlich
- AirPlay 2, Tap View und HDMI eARC zur Soundbar
Cons
- Nur 230 statt angegebener 550 Lumen, bei Tageslicht verblasst das Bild
- Schwacher Kontrast von 344:1, Nachtszenen versinken in Grau
- Kein eingebauter Akku, mobil nur mit Akku-Base oder USB-C-Powerbank
- Tizen-Menü nimmt Tastendrücke oft verzögert an
- Automatik an Leinwand und Decke nicht immer treffsicher
