Hitachi CP-X301 LCD Projector Review

Hitachi CP-X301 boast 2,600 lumens but weighs a very light 7.7 pounds is easy to install or use on a cart top. The CP-X301 features 7 Watts of built-in audio, eliminating the need for external speakers, while the Audio Pass Through function allows audio to play while the projector is in standby mode. The projectors maintain a low noise rating of 29 dB in Whisper Mode.

The CP-X301 features a new hybrid filter, which lasts for 2,000 hours before replacement, on the side of the chassis. Additionally, the lamp door is located on the top of the projector for easy replacement if the projector is ceiling-mounted. The CP-X301 also offer longer lamp life (3,000 hours in standard mode; 4,000 hours in Whisper Mode*).

The CP-X301 bring a new level of customizability to educators, offering Hitachi’s proprietary My Buttons functionality, allowing two buttons on the projector to be programmed to executive any projector command. The projectors also offer Input Source Naming, allowing users to rename input sources to fit their needs. An improved remote control now features a My Source/Doc Camera button, allowing users to directly choose an input source, or document camera. The new remote control also features volume buttons.
