Customer Reviews
I had been hunting for a new flat screen tv for several months. At the beginning, I found this Hitachi and was very impressed with it's picture quality and price. Consumer reports rated it and the 42" Panasonic as good deals so I compared the two a number of times. I found the picture quality to be very similar but the Hitachi simply "felt" larger due to the wide enclosure as opposed to the box-like case of the Panasonic.
I have found the colors to be excellent and the overall picture quality is outstanding. With the HDMI, you are able to upconvert non-HD shows from 480i to 480p and the resulting picture quality is terrific. I had a crt projection tv with component cables prior to this and while the picture on that tv was good, it can't hold a candle to this. By the way, one reviewer mentioned that she couldn't get the internal tv speakers to work with the HDMI cable. They will work, just use the TV "Audio" menu to turn them on. One nice feature is the ability to use the tv speakers as a center channel speaker. That way you don't have to try to find a place on your stand for the center channel as well as all your electronics.
Amazon is a good place to think about purchasing since there is no tax and no shipping fee. So far it is one of the best purchases I have made.
