Projector for kids room

    I recently did up my little girls room so that she has a play area under her bed with curtains so it's dark and it's an amazing little space for a "kids cinema" for when her friends come over.

    Can anyone recommend a projector that's really cheap? It doesn't have to be anything really amazing. I only need a 20-25 inch display with the projector being about 5ft away. There are loads of projectors from China for under 50 euro but I don't know about the quality of them, and they probably don't have a 3-pin plug either. Has anyone tried out any of them and found them decent? Any Chinese sellers that supply 3-pin plugs?

    I tried out a koolertron mini LED that someone had and it was not great even in a small space, but probably would have done her if it wasn't for the fact that the plug got hot quickly. A big no no especially for a child's bedroom. This one was only 60 lumens so would probably need something a little brighter. Needs to play from USB and have speakers (and be safe!!).

    Let me know if you've got any suggestions! Thanks

    Cheap TV and a Chromecast sounds like a safer option to me - projectors let off a huge amount of heat.

    If the TV isn't tuned to anything, you can take the chromecast away to stop her watching TV sneakily late at night.
