Our Verdict
Samsung The Freestyle 2nd Gen
BenQ X3000i
The BenQ X3000i is much better than the Samsung The Freestyle 2nd Gen, but they're very different. The Samsung is a small portable projector with a tilting stand and full auto keystone image correction. The BenQ is a bigger product, although it's not huge. It has auto keystone correction on the vertical axis, so you can move it if you wish, but it's not as portable as the Samsung. Otherwise, the BenQ offers vastly superior image quality with better brightness and contrast and projects a sharper image due to its pixel-shifting technology. It also offers more to gamers with its 1080p @ 240Hz capabilities.
