Plug & Play w DVI, HDMI & computer hookup
by
on
March 10, 2004
Pros: Great image--I disagree with your review, no one who has seen my projector has seen any screendoor from more than 6 feet away. Indeed, I like it better than my neighbors $10K sharp DLP. Not as bright but sharper images. And of course the $7K in my pocket.
Cons: Maybe blacks aren't good as DLP but no rainbows and resolution is stunning. For the difference in price I got a Stewart sceen, four recliners, and cash for about 25 DVD's. Of course, your mileage may vary.

Fantastic for the money!
by

March 5, 2004
Pros: This product produces a picture worth two or three times its cost. It is not without its limitations as are all LCD projectors. However, when properly adjusted it produces a fantastic picture that demonstrates the viability of a low cost home theater.
Cons:

The reviewer is crazy
by
on
March 3, 2004
Pros: EXCELLENT internal processing... overscan should not be excessive. Surely something was amiss with the review sample or perhaps the reviewer. After calibration, contrast ratio close to 1000:1- plenty snap for a great picture. Higher contrast than HD1 DL
Cons: Although real contrast ratio after calibration is close to 1000:1, it still falls short of HD2 DLP projectors. Fixed Pattern noise and vertical banding that is common to all LCD projectors, although many have reported VB not to be an issue with the HS20,

Incredible HDTV
by
on
March 3, 2004
Pros: HDTV quality, connectors, lack of screen door (contrary to review). See avsforum.com and projectorcentral.com for more opinions.
Cons: High demand = low availability + uncompetitive price, uninteresting remote, panel alignment problems.

Summary: I purchased this unit online over a year ago now and I am still amazed at the video output that the HS20 is able to achieve! I've connected it to my PC via DVI and very good 5.1 receiver and voila, a home theatre. At a resolution of 1366x768 via my video card, it just blows away any TV top dvd player. The output is so good, that you can't help but notice the deficiency of the source (dvd's). It's better than going to the theatre! No crying babies, sticky floors and you can pause the movie when you need to have that bathroom break! HD-DVD is nothing short of stunning.
Do yourself a favour and take the unit for a test drive and then take it home. You won't be disappointed. Don't know how the editor here was able to give it a passable grade of 6.2. Another reputable projector site had this unit at the top of it's list within a given price range.

Picture quality doesnt justify the price
by
on
March 29, 2004
Pros: It's nice hardware, no real problems, and the projector works well. Color is very good.
Cons: Performance just doesn't justify the price. While the resolution is slightly higher than Panasonic's L500U or Sanyo's Z2 (1280x720), the extra 11% isn't much, and instead, you lose the true 1:1 display of 720p sources (which probably includes the world o

Best LCD HDTV Value for the money
by
on
March 7, 2004
Pros: You can always get better quality for more money. For under 5k, I think this is the best quality projector money can buy. Fantastic contrast, brightness, and image.
Cons: No Lens Shift. If you have a creative mounting situation, lens shifting makes it easier.

Projectors for Home Theaters = bad
by
on
November 1, 2004
Pros: Good for people on a TIGHT budget.
Cons: Projectors for home theaters are horrible in image quality until you get into the $15,000 + range with the Runco and other high-end brands. When compared to the video quality of an 82" Mitsubishi Diamond Series Integrated HDTV, there is absolutely no comp
