The best plasma for the money.... February 13, 2007
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Point blank, this is the best plasma on the market today. This model is "middle" of the Hitachi "pro-sumer" line of plasmas. The top of the line (model# 55hdx99) is even more equisite, but rather difficult to find discounted. All of these televisions are consumer models of their professional lines which are world renowned under the Fujitsu brand. The closest competitor in the market is the Pioneer Elite model 5070, however, the 50" will cost you approx. $500 more than the Hitachi and cost you 5 inches of screen. The only downside to the Hitachi's is that they push "heavy red" out of the box, so they often look washed out compared to Pioneers when displayed together in store as they often are. Do youself a favor and sit down with this model, get the remote and dial it in to your eyes....you will love it.
Great Plasma TV June 21, 2007

I bought this one and the 42" and love both of them. Simply beautiful picture and looks great on the wall. The only cons I have are: (These are differences than the previous Hitachi plasma that I had)
1. The switch between inputs and tuner is no longer automatic. So if you switch to input 2, you can not get back to cable by hitting the channel change button or entering a channel number, you have to go back to the input selector and select "cable". The old set would switch back.
2. Sound is thinner than the previous set. The speaker boxes were and add on to the other set and sound much fuller. The new design is nicer (integrated ) but the speaker cavity is much smaller so the sound is not as full.
3. Lack of separate ant/cable input. My over the air HD signals are much better than what I can receive over cable. It would be nice if it could auto switch between cable and antenna.
Otherwise love it.

I just got this plasma through Amazon and the transaction could not have gone smoother. The best part is, this Hitachi HDTV is the bomb! I have never seen such a beautiful HD picture. I subscribe to Dish TV and their HD channels are superb on this tv. I highly recommend this plasma to everyone!
Best bang for the buck!! November 11, 2007
Beautiful looking cabinet! Regular channels come in great but the HD's are not as sharp as some of the higher end models. Overall im very satisfied with this tv, looks incredible on my wall.
High Quality all around March 21, 2008
This huge 55" plasma TV is a Cadillac at a Honda price. The TV's bezel is trimed out with real brushed aluminum and it is fairly thin for how wide it is. The picture is great, and bright, and colorful. But here is a tip. If you hook up to a satalitte or a cable box using an HDMI cable (which you should), inside the setup of the box, change the HDMI settings to output RGB. It makes the picture slightly sharper. Overall this TV is half the price of its competitors and lacks no where.
