Optoma HD20 - Cheap 1080p

[Layd Dly]

I guess this can be somewhat of an Official thread for the Optoma HD20. Since i just bought one and i did not see a dedicated thread about this new very low-priced 1080p projector I took it upon myself. With the MSRP of $1099 you get a lot of bang for your buck.
