There's no getting around the fact that the standout feature for the Hitachi CP-A100 ($2,495 street) is its ultra-short throw. In my tests, it projected a 43-inch diagonal image with the front of the projector actually an inch behind the screen. (More on that later.) But within the rarefied world of ultra-short-throw projectors, it offers yet another standout feature: it doesn't just work well, it looks good too.
