With the release of the Hitachi
CP-DH300 Projector, Hitachi has added another contender to an already fiercely
competitive market. This 1080p home video projector boasts 3,000 lumens,
15,000:1 on/off contrast. A 1.3:1 manual zoom lens and three-year warranty make
it a great choice for folks shopping for their first projector, as it will give
them the big, bright image they crave at a price that's hard to beat. But the Hitachi
CP-DH300 Projector isn't just another 1080p video projector -- it's also one of
the smallest and lightest available, making it great for video on the go.
The Hitachi
CP-DH300 Projector starts up in Movie mode, immediately giving you the best
picture quality the projector is capable of before calibration. At 3,000
lumens, Movie mode's factory settings give you a grayscale that's a touch too
cool, and highlights that are a touch too bright, but the picture is more than
sufficient if you want something quick and easy for movies, games, and
television. Contrast and shadow detail are good, while black level is on par
with other bright home video projectors. Color in Movie mode shows good
saturation, but as expected the projectors brightest image modes sacrifice
color accuracy and saturation to gain higher light output. That said, with the
variety of image modes available, it's not hard to pick one that suits your
needs.
The Hitachi
CP-DH300 Projector has a manual 1.3:1 zoom lens with a fixed offset, and it
will project a 100" diagonal image from as close as 8' 4" from the
screen, or as far as 10' 11". This means you can potentially squeeze a
100" diagonal screen into a ten-by-ten bedroom. The fixed offset makes the
projector a natural fit for either a ceiling mount or placement on a small
table between the seats. A rear shelf mount will be tricky, especially if you
want to avoid keystone correction (and you should). The projector's small size
and white case mean it will blend into a ceiling, and its light weight is great
for travel.
As a business projector, the Hitachi CP-RX250 is capable and competent, though its maximum brightness doesn't quite measure up to the optimistic 4,000 lumen specification. For document display and general presentation tasks, the Hitachi CP-RX250 is a good option, and it can even handle video from time to time. But the Hitachi CP-RX250 isn't a home video projector, and users in search of their next home theater projector should not try to force it into the role.
As a business projector, Hitachi CP-RX250 is most likely to be used in rooms with at least some ambient light, so that's where we set up our test unit.
The Hitachi CP-RX250 projector produces an image that is bright and clean, with sharp detail characteristic of its native 1080p resolution. The projector starts up in Presentation mode, which is a slightly bluish but well-balanced mode for PowerPoint slideshows and other such documents. The projector's five other image modes are all useful for different types of content, so you'll want to give them each a try depending on how you plan to use the projector.
The Hitachi CP-RX250 projector emphasizes
brightness, and content that is primarily black and white looks brilliantly
bright. However, areas of color appear dull and under-saturated at times,
especially in the presence of bright highlights and when using the projector's
brighter image modes. It is especially important, then, to use an appropriate
image mode like Movie or sRGB when watching film or video on the Hitachi
CP-RX250 projector.
