Crenova WiFi Projector with Bluetooth,170 ANSI Lumen Home Projector, Portable Mini DLP Projector 1080p Supported with 7000 mAh Built-in Battery & ±45°Auto Keystone for iPhone, Android,iPad, PS4, PC

I have been using an Optima HD66 for about 8 years now and decided to test the new Crenova XPE600 projector. Installation to my existing home entertainment ceiling mount went fairly smooth. I only had to go to the hardware store for M4x40 screws. The instructions clearly stated that the screw holes were M4 in size. I was also able to easily balance the Crenova with my ceiling mount. Something that was VERY hard do to with my older Optima drive without using some sort of counter weight. The keystone and focusing are done with large manual rotating dials. The dials made this configuration easy. The Crenova powers on, off, and syncs very quickly with my home entertainment system and iPhone. Other projectors Ive used take 45 seconds to 3 minutes to sync with the HDMI source. Another thing I am use to with other projectors is that they all come with carrying bags. This Crenova did not. If you plan to transport this projector around with you to meetings, you need to keep the box in good shape. Note: The box does come with a handle. I brought up both projectors side-by-side. Both the Crenova and my Optima have a resolution of 1920x1080. The resolution on the Crenova beats the Optima hands down. Hope you can see the difference in the picture with the turkey. The Optima is on the left and the Crenova is on the right. The colors from the Corona are way more bright and stand out. (Blacks are way more dark, and Ill get that in the next paragraph.) I dont know if colors are due to the quality of the projectors or due to the bulbs. My Optimas bulb is pretty new roughly 300 hours. Of course, the Crenovas bulb is brand new at less than an hour when the flag picture was taken. As I mentioned above, blacks are way more dark. They are actually too dark for me. I worked for a long time trying to get a reasonable balance to the 3 pictures below. The Crenova doesnt have as many brightness/contrast/color settings as my older Optima. I had to settle with a User setting where by TCs face is too dark on the side and Higgins face is too red. Of course, night scenes are REALLY dark and daytime scenes are bright to me. Note: I do have a grey screen instead of a white screen; that may make a difference. This is the first projector where Ive seen the IR port for the remote is on the back of the projector. Im use to pointing the remote at the screen, bouncing the IR off the screen back to the front of the projector to turn on. I also tried to bounce the IR off the back wall of my room to the projector. I suspect the remote just doesnt come with a powerful enough LED. I instead have to physically position myself behind the projector to turn it on/off. This is a minor annoyance but there is no string on the cap. I had to climb down off my ladder 3 times to retrieve a dropped lens cap. Ha! The Crenova comes with a built-in speaker and with USB ports. I did not test these as they are not applicable to my setup. I wish I had a little more control of the display color settings but for a projector under $200, it does the job well. After Review Note: Crenova support contacted me about my lamp control issues. They provided a detailed video about adjusting the lamp settings. They also made other surprising offers to me too but Ill leave it at good support after the purchase. Thus, I increased my rating of their product. Thank you!

Overall, for my purposes (outdoor movie night with grandkids) it’s a perfectly fine projector. Two complaints are; the battery life is rated for 2hrs and it’s only lasting for 1 1/2 hours and the remote is very difficult to open and not the most responsive.

This is the 2nd Crenova projector that I have purchased. The first one (a Crenova Mini Projector) I bought about a year ago and have used quite a bit. It has been on trips with us and been moved around the house and outside for movies. This projector was an upgrade and we still plan to continue using the mini, especially with the kids. The projector is about four times larger then the mini. The sound has more depth and gets louder, the picture is clear, and the brightness is exceptional. Text is sharper than the mini, and I think with a screen, this would be high quality enough for presentations. On the wall there are places that are slightly out of focus, but this is barely noticeable when watching a movie for us. What impressed me the most about the projector is the brightness; It can be light outside with the shades open and the picture is still visible. You can see this in one of my review pictures. This was not the case for the mini--even Christmas lights would make the image dull and blackout curtains were a must, even at night. This is a huge plus for a projector, since this is the biggest limitation when considering a projector in place of a TV. We do not have a TV, so it will be great to have the option of using this during the day with the curtains drawn, which was not an option for the mini. I think both this projector and the mini have their place. This projector is perfect for people who want a great home theater experience for themselves and their guests without spending a fortune. This projector has lots of features that make it ideal for that setting, including mounting screws for a ceiling mount, the ability to zoom in and out, and the ability to flip the picture. The mini is a better fit for families who just want something to project a movie outside a few times a year, take on vacation to play a movie on the wall of an Air B and B, or place in a playroom for kids to play video games or watch YouTube. The mini is much more portable and affordable, although you are sacrificing quality. It also works better on a surface like an end table. This projector is really meant to be permanently mounted, and the screw at the bottom doesnt allow for much adjustment if it is placed on a flat surface. Overall, this is a great upgrade from the mini and a perfect replacement for a TV or in a home theater.

UPDATE: I received my cable in the mail to connect my phone and not only can i project my phone, the quality of the picture is AMAZING!!! I now can project movies, games, chats, for recreation and do zoom or presentations for my job as a teacher. (we have had to come up with unique ways to deliver content). This project has endless capabilities and can be used for work, outdoor movies, and my daughters upcoming wedding. I am so excited for all the uses I will get out of this. PREVIOUS POST: This projector has completely met my expectations thus far. I have ordered the cable to be able to connect my phone and cant wait for that to come in. The projector comes with an HDMI cord which you typically have to purchase separately. With the Super Bowl this Sunday, Im excited to use this projector to watch the game life size and feel like I am in the stadium. With so many ports, this projector is perfect to connect many different devices where i can watch movies from HULU, Netflix, or any of my streaming services. I can also connect my DirecTV through the HDMI cord to watch tv. It will be like being at the theater without having to get out. During the pandemic, this is the perfect way to create the theater at home or display in the garage where everyone can social distance. This summer, I will have friends over to have a movie night under the stars and I cant wait.

Let me start by saying I havent had a chance to set it up outside on a better background but I wanted to check out the quality. So excuse the blinds.. Ill also say the photo doesnt do it justice. The clarity is much better than the photo is showing. Picture size for test was 130. Picture Quality: The picture quality is amazing. It has a focus with a wide range of focusing. We own another projector that we paid a little bit more money for and this 1 has a much crisper picture even at larger sizes. Audio: The audio is surprisingly good as well. Its louder than our other projector. It gets loud enough for the family to sit around and watch a movie. However I recommend getting a real audio device for your audio because if you turn it up too loud you can hear the audio spikes with a fuzz or distortion. However we had no problems at lower volumes and could hear it just find. Brightness: Its very bright when its dark. We turned on the lights to see if it was bright enough to handle a few lights on in the house and it was still bright enough to watch. Overall for the price, video, audio and quality this projector is a GREAT projector. I highly recommend this projector!

1080p hd video processing, for a large screen up to 120 in, this is bordering on the edge of not really the quality that you would expect from a large image. Not particularly bad per se, just you dont get a full HD effect when you blow up a picture to that ratio. you really need something that would be 4K to have a really nice stunning picture. Hear me out! This projector does actually a very good job for the money! You need to have a very good video signal, the higher the better. If you can find actual 4K material to view with this projector you will probably be pleased, especially if you have not used a projector before. But you cannot compare it to a HDTV screen. If thats what youre used to watching you might not be happy with this picture quality. Also, size wise its a little finicky trying to place the projector in the correct distance / angle so as to get your keystone correct. Smaller the picture size that you are going for the better the quality is going to be on your screen. I was using 120 in screen and placed the projector as close as I could to get the pixels as small as I could( approximately 12 ft and throw distance from the screen). I was not disappointed, as Im using it primarily to play animated and family movies for kids. Its very bright for the cost, but unlike a lot of the reviews stated, you really cant watch it happily in a fully lit room, it should be in a fairly dim room at least. Is it a great deal for the money? Absolutely!

The projector arrived fast and securely packed with all the accessories required to get going.It was so easy to set up and go which hardly took upto 10 minutes.It has two hdmi inputs and also a vga input which allows you to connect it to two sources like a blue ray player, apple tv or roku or google chromecast . The projector has full hd resolution and depending on the size of screen can project upto 200inches. I have projected it onto the wall directly even though the wall is not either pure white or grey as usually advised the image was crisp and bright.The inbuilt speakers are loud and clear with enough bass to fill a room and they can decode dolby sound also.You can always hook it to a sound bar with the firestick bluetooth or use the av out and connect to your avr.This ia an excellent projector for some one who wants a good resolution projection for casual usage like in a bedroom or can also be used as proper home theatre setup.The projector also has ability to play media files from usb stick. The projector comes with physical keystone correction and focus adjustment , you can also adjust the settings of the image based on your choice.ON the whole i like the projector very much and it is an excellent value and it comes with an years warranty, i found the customer service of the company also very good . All in all i find it be an excellent buy.

This is my second Crenova projector. I dont have 4K source, so 1080p is perfect for my need. The image is clear and the colors are sharp. The sound is good. For family games, the projected display is big that everybody doesnt need to sit close and around a TV. When getting excited, we dont worry about bumping onto the TV. For movie setup, I project the display on the ceiling, yeah ceiling. There is no need for a projector screen setup. The projected display is around 70 - 75. Just lay down on the floor and relax. I wont get tired from watching hours of movies, because it is so comfortable. And the feature of keystone tilting does help a little bit here that I dont have to lay down completely right under the display. I can just tilt the display. Another major feature of this model is the touchpad control. Sometimes, I misplaced the small remote control somewhere and couldnt find it at the moment I wanted to watch a movie. Then the touchpad comes in handy. It is lit. I can clearly see those buttons in dark. The controls are very responsive. The control for zoom rate only goes decrement, but I can live with it since 99% of the time I dont zoom. At this price point, I am getting a native 1080p resolution projector. This is the main value. Will highly recommend this product!

We previously had a mini-projector for outdoor movies in our backyard and really enjoyed it. We upgraded to this projector and couldnt be happier. PROS - Brightness - A lot brighter than the mini-projector. We can now start movies at dusk or earlier instead of it being pitch black out. - Speaker - Internal speaker is a million times better. On the min-projector we always had to hook up an external speaker. Now we no longer need to. The internal speaker allows us to watch the movie without extra equipment and is plenty loud for family movies. - Picture Quality - The detail and picture quality (crispness) is better by quite a bit compared to the mini-projector as well. - 2 HDMI ports - Customer support - Customer support has been fantastic, we had an issue when we first received ti and customer support helped us thru the issue without delay. - Illuminated touch screen helps control items in the dark without the use of the remote if required. Thing to think about - We needed to put the projector further back from screen than the mini-projector. Not a big deal just took a little more setup time the first time using it since we were so used to the mini-projector setup. - It is larger and more cumbersome if moving around a lot. Packaging was great and we currently use the original packaging to hold the projector when not in use.

I previously purchased the Crenova XPE760, as it was one of the lowest price native-1080p projectors on Amazon. I gave that projector to my son to take to college, and I bought this new model XPE600 (which I believe is considered to be the 2021 upgrade of the XPE760). Like the XPE760, the XPE600 projects in full 1920x1080p (which is awesome at this price point), and it has been substantially improved in several ways: * It is slightly brighter * It now supports decoding of Dolby audio * It has a simulated surround sound that I found to substantially improve audio quality and loudness. * The protective lens cap can now be attached without having to retract the lens into the body of the projector using the focus ring. (It now fits onto the lens itself instead of snapping onto the enclosure) * The controls on the projector have been upgraded to capacitive touch controls instead of physical buttons. The real benefit of this is that they are backlit, so you can easily see and change the controls in a dark room. * It has 2 HDMI inputs compared to 1 on the XPE760. * The remote control has been simplified Like the XPE760, I am rating the XPE600 as 5 stars, and I am doing so in the context of its price/performance value. (You would have to spend double or triple on a name brand to get better performance and features.) That said, there are a few considerations worth mentioning (I wouldn’t necessarily call these “cons”): * The “throw” of the XPE600 at a given distance is smaller than the XPE760 (I.E., you have to place the projector further back in the room to have the picture fill the same space.) * When looking at computer text displayed in native 1920x1080, I will say the edge-to-edge focus is not as perfectly sharp as a much more expensive name-brand projector would be, so it not would be as ideal (but still viable) to use for displaying fine text from a computer. It still looks fantastic for watching movies. I have been using this to stream movies through my Windows PC and Chromecast, both connected via HDMI, with no problems and with excellent picture quality and brightness. I highly recommend this incredible value.
