Good points: Sony has once again come up with one other of its innovative technology. This new and improved version of the projector, in essence has and does everything one wants to. It has attractive color, astounding gamma and much more.
Bad Points: The lens adjustments are manual rather than electronic.
What we thought: Although, it cannot be said that this model lives up to the expectations of video enthusiasts, it is still the best budget model among HDTV capable LCD projectors.
The shape is that of a bulky horseshoe with purple and white color schemes matching that of Sony’s VAIO computers. The projector front sports a grille that masks the intake and outtake vents on either side, and also has a discreet memory stick slot that takes a front spot. The points for power, input, menu access, zoom, and focus are mounted to the side.
Another worthy feature is its lightweight of less than 12 pounds, this makes for a compact body plus the extremely quite fan operation makes it even more attractive.
The port for the Memory stick allows for easy viewing of Memory-stick based digital pictures on the big screen. Another convenience is the Side Shot, which is Sony's name for digital keystone correction, which allows the user to place the projector off-center relative to the screen. The Sony HS20, in addition, has some notable picture-enhancing features as well. Connectivity options on the HS20 are also quite generous.
Color decoder in the HS20 is excellent, exhibiting virtually no red push, and greens also look equally good. This is perhaps the HS20's best suit in picture quality. The unit's less than ideal black-level performance causes color saturation to be a bit washed out.
