Hitachi CP-X3020 3LCD Projector - CPX3020
The Hitachi CP-X3020 is a workhorse of a video projector. With 4000 ANSI lumens and a 2000:1 contrast ratio it has the projection power to work in large or brightly lit rooms, making it ideal for both the business and educational markets.
The blackboard and whiteboard modes compensate visually when you don't have a screen but you do have a board to project upon
Its fan noise is a quiet 35 in Normal Mode and a very quiet 29 dB in Eco Mode. Similarly, Eco Mode extends an already impressive lamp life of 2000 hours to an amazing 4000 hours. (The latter is equivalent to leaving the projector lamp on every hour of every business day for two solid years!)
The CP-X4020 is compatible with world power requirements (100 to 240 Volts), world TV standards (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-N, PAL-M, PAL-60 and SECAM) and it even provides closed captioning when present in the input signal and you select it. That's great not only for the hard of hearing but also for audience members for whom English is a second language. This is one projector that not only gives your audience the big picture (up to 25 ft) but helps make sure they understand it.
