  • Abstract:  Features With a native resolution of 1920x1080, the HD20 can display virtually all Blu-rays and most HD broadcast channels without scaling, which is why I recommend 1080p displays even for small screen sizes. As with all single-chip DLP displays, you migh...

  • 1080p HD video for $999, Lightweight, portable design, Very bright, doesn't require total darkness, Long 4,000 hour lamp life potential
  • No lens shift, 4x-speed color wheel reveals minor DLP rainbows, Heavy light spill through front grille, Remote too bright for a darkened home theater environment
  • For $999, Optoma's HD20 represents a giant leap forward in home theater projector value. Although its blacks could be blacker, lens shift is unavailable and you're apt to notice a few jaggies here and there on standard def content, the HD20 still manag...

  • Price, Great plug and play performance, Noise reduction,

  • We can't stress enough that the price of this 1080p projector is just amazing. For under a grand you have the ability to get a great big picture for less than the price of a flatscreen at one quarter the size. While it isn't the only sub-$1k proje...
