Optoma HD20 Projector Review


Optoma HD20 Projector Review

The Optoma HD20 was released a few months ago but it still is a popular home theater projector. This model comes with 1700 ANSI lumens a 4000:1 contrast ratio and full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution. Today, Trusted Reviews got the opportunity to release their review of this projector. The main appeal about this projector is that it is capable of displaying full 1080p content for a cheap price. However it is easy to tell that in order to get the high quality images for the low price, many sacrifices had to be made and the first obvious one is the cheesy plastic cover. Another is the fact that the projector has a rather large grille next to the lamp and it tends to expose a lot of light. This leak not only prevents the projector from being brighter, but it can be distracting, especially if you are in a fully dark room. The display did excel in sharpness and in color, but the contrast and black levels were only above acceptable. Fortunately the writer was able see dark scenes with out trouble. The final verdict that the writer made was, ‘If you’ve read the main review carefully, you’ll have noticed that pretty much every time I’ve praised the HD20, it’s been along the lines of it being better than expected for its money, rather than suggesting that it represents the last word in projection excellence. I want this to be totally clear, because I don’t want die-hard AV aficionados to think the HD20 is so good it makes redundant the idea of spending more money (if you’ve got it) to get something better. Having cleared that up, though, there’s simply no denying that the HD20 shifts the goalposts of what I’d considered possible on a £900 DLP projector, and in doing so opens the quality big screen home cinema door to a whole new budget market. And that’s enough in itself to make the HD20 thoroughly deserving of a Recommended badge.’
