Reviews of the Hitachi CP-RS55 LCD projector

CNET Review
The Good: Bright; small and lightweight; low price; quick warm-up and cool-down; handles colors well.
The Bad: Low contrast; large remote with limited capabilities; lacks carrying case and optical zoom.
The Bottom Line: Although not the brightest, lightest, or most feature-filled projector on the market, the Hitachi Performa CP-RS55 can lay claim to the best price tag, and it may well represent the best all-round value available.
