Optoma HD20

By M. David Stone (pcmag.com)

Optoma HD20

By Jim Hill (techradar.com)

The HD20 is one of a new breed of wallet-friendly 1080p projectors

Remarkable value; Excellent detail resolution; Reasonable contrast and brightness

Some fan noise; Evident rainbow effect; Limited throw distance

Despite these criticisms, I'd have no qualms about recommending the HD20 to someone looking to step up from flatscreen to projection on a tight budget– it represents great value for money

By Mike Hammond (amazon.com)

Wow!!
