At 7.9 lbs, the Hitachi CP-X2510 semi-portable XGA 3LCD projector is equally appropriate for conference rooms or the classroom. It offers a unique combination of features for both basic and advanced users. The CP-X2510 has an Active-Iris that allows it to produce bright and punchy images with excellent edge-to-edge sharpness. It has a street price around $700, sports a 6,000-hour eco-mode lamp, and a filter design that only requires maintenance every 5,000 hours. It is a snap to setup thanks to quick release adjustment feet, auto-input search and auto-keystone function. The CP-X2510 lacks a digital input and network capability, and has a relatively large case size. But it nicely balances performance and value and is well worth consideration for office, classroom, or any presentation use where light weight or extreme portability are not of greatest concern.
