I remember looking at this (possibly gen 1) on the Samsung website and seeing terrible reviews.

Is it any good? Kinda.
I wouldn't buy this expecting it to go toe-to-toe with premium projectors destined for a cinephile's home entertainment center. It's not bright enough to use in a sunlit room, it's 1080p, and has just one mini-hdmi input.
But it kicks ass my bedroom projector. The auto-keystone works really well, so you can draw the blackout curtains, throw it on a dresser/nightstand/wherever and suddenly you've got a 8-10' screen at the foot of your bed regardless of your room configuration. Great alternative to a TV in the bedroom, since it's not a black rectangle taking up a ton of wall space 90% of the time, and when it's on it doesn't have the harshness of LEDs glowering at your eyes when you're trying to wind down to sleep.
And as a portable, it's cool because it's so self-contained. You grab it, a power cord (or battery if you want to shell out for it), and connect it to WiFi, and you're good to go. It has all of the streaming apps built in like any other smart tv, whereas with other portables you really need to bring a Chromecast or Roku stick or laptop w/ HDMI or something. The gen 2 also has the Xbox gamepass app on it for cloud, so it would in effect be a portable console. You can use your imagination for cases when that might be useful.
These we going for like $1000 brand new when released. Who knows if anyone bought at that price, but for less than half of that I have to imagine most people would find it a good value.

But we still use it and so far it's going strong.
I did buy it for 400 something with discounts and credits from getting the phones. I would not have paid sticker for it.
