Anyone had one of these:

or something like this:

I realise they are not going to be like something costing 5 times more but are they decent enough?

Read the description again..... 'HD' goes in - i.e. you can plug an HD source into it... but it doesn't come out - the projected image coming out (the native resolution) is 854x540. Contrast ratio is pretty poor too, you'd want something closer to 2000:1 when the contrast ratio is poor it means light is leaking into the areas that should be black so things look pretty washed out and grey.

Im guessing the lumens figures on those are similar to the Chinese bike lights.
I am sure I read a review of similar projectors advertising the same lumens figures and they put out around 3-10% off the advertised rating!!
