Optoma HD20

Optoma has upped the bar with their release of the HD20. This sub $1k projector is 1080p, has more than enough inputs for most applications, and gets you into a front projection system for cheap.

The HD20 is one of Optoma's more exciting designs featuring a native 1920x1080 resolution via its .65-inch Brilliant Color DLP chipset from Texas Instruments. Reviewer Brian Kahn checks out this affordable marvel from Optoma, pitting it against several HDTVs to see which is truly best.
