Hitachi 60V500

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great picture and ease of use
Cons Cooling fan noise but it's not that bad
Recommended it? Yes

I just got my Hitachi a month ago and I'm amazed by the picture every time I turn it on. I bought a new RCA DVD upconverter and the movies we have are like looking at whole new movie from what it was before. I have noticed the noise that's talked about with the audio but is only noticed when volume... Read full review »

Good initial picture...bad warranty

Pros Nice looking tv with good colors
Cons pixels burn out very fast
Recommended it? No

I bought this TV and after only 3 months I noticed a burned out pixel. I called Hitachi and they would not cover it under their warranty. 2 months later I have another burned out pixel and they still will not do anything for it. I will never buy another Hitachi television again. Keep in mind that... Read full review »

The Perfect "Event" Television

Pros Absolutely everything. Doesn't require a base.
Cons Costs a chunk o' change, but worth it.
Recommended it? Yes

For DVDs and HD programming, one can hardly buy a better set. When I first set foot in HH Gregg looking for a projection TV, my thought was who in their right mind would pay $3900 for a television ... until I saw the Hitachi. Exceptionally clear picture, great color, and full sound. A primary... Read full review »

Poor reliability; rude and worthless customer support from Hitachi

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Well integrated stand, excellent remote.
Cons Extremely poor manufacturing quality, terrible reliability, horrendous customer support.
Recommended it? No

I bought this TV only four and a half years ago at a cost of about $3,400. For that price, I expected a TV that would last for many years. No such luck. Several months ago, I noticed that part of the screen was "blooming" in red. I contacted Hitachi and was told that I needed to replace the main... Read full review »

Pros Great picture while parts are working.
Cons Parts malfunction too soon. You are on your own with high repair cost.
Recommended it? No

I purchased a Hitachi 50V500 LCD TV in 2004. I was impressed with the picture and was overall pleased with this set. I did have to replace the bulb approximately 18 months after purchase at a cost of over $300. This was not covered under the warranty since it was past the one year limit. I also...

Buyer Beware 60V500A

bypryde551 Aug 26, 2007
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great HD picture.
Cons Not a very durable television. Expect repair costs in a very short time.
Recommended it? No

We bought this TV a little over a year ago. The hook up was easy, and the picture in HD is great. The regular cable picture is so / so. As I have noticed on other forums, my 60V500A has also developed a red glow in the center of the screen. It is really noticeable on dark sceens. The lamp went out... Read full review »

Pros Features, remote, Design, HIGHEST QUALITY picture out there with HDTV
Cons None and this is my second Hitachi LCD. Well like all TVs stand is extra.

This set I prefer to my Sony LCD, flat out with HDTV in use, I have never seen a better picture in a showroom or display of any kind of visual product. Stunning.

The features are many, the design is an art-deco look, attractive in any home, unlike some overly trendy ultra modern sets... Read full review »

Pros Picture quality is superb, Discovery HD has the BEST resolution I've ever seen.
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

Bought my 60V500A after months of research, in March of 04, the electronics store I ordered it from could not get it for months, went to the big "chain" store and had it within a week, at a better price. Thus far has performed flawlessly, no repairs, no issues, no pixel problems , and certainly no... Read full review »

Great HD TV

3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros clarity, colour, sound
Cons none that I have found so far
Recommended it? Yes

I bought mine 3 months ago and am totally impressed with it. I stayed with Hitachi because my previous 46 inch projection TV lasted 13 years without any serviceability problems. Colour is great, picture clarity outstanding, sound good. The set is considerably thinner than my previous one and... Read full review »
