Unboxing & Review of Crenova XPE498 Mini Home Video Projector 1080p Supported, 3200 Lux

Crenova Mini Home Projector 1080P Supported, 3200 Lux Portable Movie Projector with 50,000 Hrs LED, 200” Display, Works with PC, Fire Stick, HDMI, PS4, VGA, TF, DVD, AV, USB.

I mounted this projector onto a custom made swing arm using a Cheetah Universal Projector Mount, which you can purchase here - https://amzn.to/2NQxdxZ

This mount would normally install right to your ceiling, but I have a cathedral ceiling, so I had to create a custom swing arm that was mounted to my wall.

I projected onto a Homegear 110” HD Motorized 16:9 Projector Screen which you can purchase here - https://amzn.to/2NRyJAc

It can hook up to just about any device, it supports 1080p input and convert/downsize it to an 800 x 480 image display that you'll see on the screen which is closest to TV resolution. I did not do a crazy thorough review, explaining buttons, remote use, setup or display etc etc.. It's easy enough to figure all that out and to set it up. What I am showing is what I think is most important Playing movies from a 2 gig SD card, 8 gig memory stick and 32gig memory stick. All videos from the SD card memory sticks loaded quickly without hesitation.

The remote worked flawlessly.

I switched the projector sound going from my home theater for a comparison and Crenova speaker which was crystal clear. The sound quality surprised me on how good it was. It was plenty loud for most movie viewing or gameplay.

It was supplied with an RCA cable to 3.5mm jack I'm assuming for video/audio in more an external DVD player or something. I didn't try the cable because it's something I don't think I'll ever use and I'm sure it works well.

I hooked the Projector to my Xbox one with a 30 foot HDMI that is not included so I could play games and videos while the audio output is through my home theater surround sound which makes playing some games intense and movies Awesome!

It's great to be able to play movies from a memory stick to take the projector outside for backyard bbq or maybe camping, making it very portable and it says it can produce a 200 inch picture which is amazing (the bigger the screen the more it has to be totally dark for a screen that size). The largest area I could find was a 12 x 112 garage door at my friend's house making a 155" screen and it could easily go to 200". But I think 99% of the time it will be in the house right where it is now hooked to HDMI or maybe one of the kids rooms. You never know. Since filming this video, we have used the projector for a little while now and use it just about every day for hours on end watching TV, Movies and playing games. Our Samsung TV almost doesn't get used as much and the Crenova video projector really doesn't get a break. I think it is on all the time lol. We are extremely pleased with the Crenova projector, it has been money well spent. It is cheap enough that if it were to burn up before 50,000 hour LED bulb I would probably go and buy another one.

I think most problems people have with these projectors is operator error. It should work flawlessly like in my video right out of the box.
