Poor reliability; rude and worthless customer support from Hitachi

(1.00 out of 5) by tinmangomtuu on Oct 14, 2009

Pros: Well integrated stand, excellent remote.
Cons: Extremely poor manufacturing quality, terrible reliability, horrendous customer support.
The Bottom Line: Picture quality is good until the inevitable optical engine failure. Because of terrible manufacturing quality and awful, unresponsive, and uncaring Hitachi customer support, avoid their HDTVs at all costs.

Still going strong after 4 years!

(4.00 out of 5) by firelikeiya on Dec 5, 2008

Pros: Very clear picture, the design is aging well.
Cons: Grayish tint can be seen on large black images (i.e. bars on a 16:9 format).
The Bottom Line: Great unit and worth buying used if you can get it for $600 or less otherwise get a cheap plasma.
