I had great expectations when I bought this rear projection LCD HDTV in November 2004. In early November I took delivery of this set that was manufactured in October 2004.

The TV really had a fairly narrow depth (16 3/8") to the case so it didn't take up as much room as many other RPTVs... Read full review »

Pros looks, SD picture, 2 HDMI inputs
Cons not a plasma
Recommended it? Yes

When I started looking for a big TV, I realized that the majority of my viewing for the next few years would be DVDs and SD TV. I ruled out a plasma (my first choice-Panasonic was the best)because my kids wanted a TV that they could play video games on.

The Hitachi was better by a wide... Read full review »

Bad Product

Pros Silver cabinet looks Great. Sound OK Thin build great for small areas.
Cons BAD BAD Engineering. Poor Product Quality. Lamps short life span. Projector system melts.
Recommended it? No

Lamp burned out after 4 months. The product is now melting when turned on. This product is a lemon from word go. Buy yourself a Panasonic Plasma and save $2000. Lamp costs $281 and lasts 4 months. PLEASE DO NOT BUY! Worst TV ever made.
Runs good for two months before problems begin. Projector... Read full review »

Short lamp life, poor customer support

Pros Looks great, lots of inputs, nice picture.
Cons short lamp life, expensive replacement lamps.
Recommended it? No

When I bought this TV in February 2005 for $5000 (Canadian), I thought that I was going to have trouble-free HDTV viewing for at least 10 years. Previous experience from Hitachi has shown me that they make a reliable product (usually).

I was quite happy with the set until last night, when... Read full review »

Good set, poor customer support.

Pros Good picture, especially on high definition.
Cons Slow to warm up, horrible customer support staff.
Recommended it? Yes

I have had this set for about a month and am very impressed with it overall. One design flaw is that the use speakers as center option has a separate input jack for each of the A/V inputs. Since most receivers have only one center out jack, if you have multiple audio sources, you have to figure out... Read full review »

Pros Outstanding picture quality. Plasma like design.Upgradeable firmware.Duel HDMI inputs.
Cons None that i have found.
Recommended it? Yes

I decided this year would be the year I upgraded from my 35" Hitachi tube. I owned this T.V for 12 years and was always happy with it. So I was leaning toward buying Hitachi again. However I was willing to invest up to 3,500 so I was keeping an open mind to other television manufactures. I read a... Read full review »

Pros great picture with HDTV. Sound is excellent.
Cons needed repair and still not right within warrenty period.

We bought this set for christmas 05 (family gift) as a discounted "open box" for $1800 US. Plugged in, it had a amazing picture and sound. 2-3 months later, red vertical lines showed up after 2-3 hours of use. Called warrenty, repair dudes hauled off and a week later set was returned. Red vertical... Read full review »
