Hitachi PJTX100 review

Super quiet, super operation makes it a favourite

A truly affordable HDTV projector ; Excellent resolution ; Very quiet operation ; Great film/data quality after fiddling

It's a big, bulky unit ; It can be tricky to get the best out of it

The Hitachi doesn't claim to specialise - and doesn't have to. It's great at everything

Hitachi PJTX100

If this projector doesn't make you sit up and pay attention, nothing will. Obviously crafted to be a home projector from the ground up, its enormous 1.6x zoom lens is its most striking visual feature

Expert Review

One of the best value for money projectors on the market.

Great value for money, nice contrast for an LCD

Lacking details in some scenarios, some motion lag

Hitachi PJ-TX100

A home-theater powerhouse that projects premium performance at a medium price.

Solid black-level performance for an LCD projector; horizontal and vertical lens shift; DVI and HDMI inputs.

Limited input flexibility; somewhat expensive compared to other 720p projectors.

With lens shift, high resolution, and plenty of adjustments, this LCD projector stands out from the midpriced pack.

Hitachi PJ-TX100 Projector Review

LCD projectors have been a favorite recommendation of mine for some time. While I love the deeper black associated with most DLP models, the lens shift functionality and lack of rainbows make LCD

Very clear picture – excellent optics ; Basic horizontal & vertical lens shift ; Motorized Iris control ; Backlit remote control ; Versatile inputs (including DVI-HDCP) ; 1080p compatible ; Sleek, high-tech looking chassis ; Bright

Intrusive fan noise ; Somewhat confusing menu system ; Poor (240p) deinterlacing via DVI-D at 480i

Hitachi PJ-TX100 LCD Projector

My, what a big eye you have. In 2001: A Space Odyssey, we were introduced to HAL 9000—a plucky computer that likes long walks at night, organization, and things not named Dave. In 2010, we found out that we were going to need a bigger boat and that HAL...

Hitachi PJ-TX100 LCD Projector

The Hitachi PJ-TX100 has a cyclopean lens that will give other projectors feelings of inadequacy. More than once, I expected it to pivot toward me and blink menacingly. Have you ever seen someone blink menacingly? It's scary stuff. As you can see in...

Hitachi PJ-TX100 LCD Projector

Color was good. The PJ-TX100's gray-scale tracking was great after calibration, and its color points looked closer to accurate with actual video material than the measurements claim. In yet another level of adjustability, the PJ-TX100 auto-adjusts the...

Hitachi PJTX100 UltraVision front LCD projector

Hitachi's PJTX100 UltraVision front LCD projector replaces the short-lived Home 1, a low-cost, 964x544-pixel design that made a brief appearance earlier this year. I liked many things about the Home 1, but it suffered from very low light output—too low...
