Advantages
High lumen output. The HD20 creates 633 lumens in Cinema mode, a minimum of on our test sample. This is easily enough light for a 135″ diagonal display screen in a space together with excellent light control, or a 100″ diagonal display screen in a room with a few background light. Even more noteworthy, the HD20’s Cinema setting still delivers a significant 505 lumens, even just in low lamp mode. So that you get yourself a really vivid image and longer light life all at once.
For content in which you would choose higher brightness, but don’t require the best possible color accuracy, “Bright” mode generates 954 ANSI lumens. This is suitable for HD sports, or whenever you have the room lights turned up. Bright setting decreases color saturation, but it lets you bring the HD20 from the dark theater and into the family room, whether for the big game or perhaps your kid’s video game system.
ANSI Contrast. Regardless of the projector’s 4000:1 full on/off contast rating, the HD20 measured 456:1 ANSI contrast in our tests. This puts it on a level together with several of the better 1080p LCD projectors launched a year ago, but below the more advanced 1080p DLP projectors. ANSI contrast doesn’t tell the complete story, however it is a great indicator of the dynamic range that can appear in a single image.
Low digital noise. When compared to a 1080p DLP projector which cost almost twice as much, the HD20 showed an impressively low amount of digital noise. Excessive digital noise makes a image appear grainy or unstable, and these outcomes can sometimes disturb the viewer and compromise the immersion in the experience. The HD20’s low level of noise makes the image show up smoother, more natural, and less distracting than it might otherwise.
Logical menu system. The menu system is simple, with a logical, hierarchical format. Using a little common sense, it’s not hard to find what you’re looking for. Picture alterations are under the Image menu; aspect ratio and masking changes are found within the Display menu, lamp and positioning adjustments are found in the System menu.
