The projectors combine DLP image quality with an array of all-new performance and energy-saving features at prices that "offer outstanding value to business, educational and other commercial users," the company said.

The Hitachi CP-DX300 and CP-DX250 incorporate Texas Instruments 1-chip DLP technology to deliver images with higher contrast and brightness (CP-DX300: 3,000 lumens; CP-DX250: 2,500 lumens), while Texas Instruments’ BrilliantColor technology offers color processing to enhance color performance for rich, vibrant and accurate colors. Both projectors offer XGA resolution. The CP-DX300 and CP-DX250 offers a maximum diagonal image of 40 inches from a distance of 59 inches. The CP-DX300 and DP-DX250 are also 3D capable (3D glasses and a graphics card are required for 3D operation).
Measuring approximately 10.4 x 8.8 x 3.2 inches and weighing just 4.9 pounds, the CP-DX300 and CP-DX250 are designed for total ease of use, thanks to a new on-screen display and remote control.
