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.Read full review
I got mine about two weeks ago but only got around to installing the screen etc last weekend (what with my pesky sister's wedding getting in the way - bah!). But it was worth the wait - awesome! Yeah its not perfect - but I for one am done with spending multiple 1000s on Av gear. But for £900 plus about 75pence per movie (based on useful lamp life) this is a must buy for anyone who has dreamt of having a `proper` cinema :) Now just need to get a Bluray player so I can watch some more up-to-date HiDef stuff (only my poor old Tosh HD-DVD to play with at the mo).
Budget PJ's is certainly something Optoma are good at. I've had my Optima HD65 for about 18 months now, only cost about £430 from Dixons. Not a 1080p, but still produces great images. Now looking on EBay looks like I could sell it for more than I bought if for.. :), so the question is would the Extra resolution be worth an extra £500, I beleive both of these are Darkchip 2, so I assume blacks would be about the same.
@ betelgeus In the UK the HD20 has a 3 yr ThemeScene warranty where the 200X has a 1yr. The HD20 is white the HD200x is black, the HD20 has a 500:1CR and 1700Lumen where the HD200X has 350:1CR and 1500Lumen.
