What does the dotted lines appearing on the projected picture mean for Samsung Freestyle?
If you see dotted lines on the projected image from the Samsung Freestyle, then it indicates that a portion of the screen has been cut off. As a result, you won’t be able to view the full picture.

To remove the dotted lines, and therefore make the portable projector show the full image, you need to take the following steps:
1. Pick up the Samsung Smart Remote and then press the home button.
2. Select Menu, which has the three horizontal lines symbol.
3. Afterwards, you need to select Settings, which has the gear symbol.
4. Select All Settings.
5. Select Picture.

7. Set Picture Size to a setting that will make the dotted lines go away. If you are watching a 16:9 video, for example, then you need to set Picture Size to 16:9 Standard.
