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

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 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!

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.

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!

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.
