Has anyone used one of the cheap Chinese projectors?

You can get 1080p projectors on the Rainforest and other places for around £60.

I've been wondering about picking one up, obviously in the knowledge that it will be nowhere near as good as a proper branded projector, but can anyone let me know what to expect? Has anyone else tried one?

Hmm, thanks all! I'm after something I can show films on maybe twice a year, so have no desire to spend too much. If you were going to spend, say, £150 tops on a projector (plus maybe another £50 for a screen) what would you do? Is 2nd hand the way to go?

I bought an Elephas projector when it was on a amazon lightning deal for £135 last month for outdoor movie nights.
Perfect for what I want it for. I'm more than happy with it.

My daughter used it for a birthday sleepover on Saturday night. It was a bit too light outside when they started watching it, but it went down really well.

Awesome, that's exactly what I'm after! I'll be using mine outside too. Are you projecting onto a wall there, or have you used a screen / sheet / something else?

Edit: Which model number was yours?
