A plasma with a premium price tag but not the picture quality to match.
Excellent sound; Good connectivity; Lovely design
Picture quality just short of some rivals
Stellar stuff indeed, but there are rival TVs with better picture quality
Hitachi 42PD9700 HD ready plasma TVA plasma with a premium price tag but not the picture quality to match. This is one of the first plasma televisions to hit the market with a 1024 x 1080 resolution screen.
Unlike a fair number of king-sized screens, the 55PD9700 carries a built-in digital tuner
Attractive, Fantastic audio, Decent price
Some problems with standard def footage
We can't help but like the 55PD9700. We've seen better pictures, but as a total package - sound, price and features - it gives impressive bang for your buck
The 55PD9700 wears its size well, as a glossy Japan Black screen frame contrasts dramatically with platinum speakers down each side. What's more, Hitachi has put the TV on a powered, swivelling stand you can move around using the remote control....
Setting up the Hitachi is remarkably easy with a simple user interface
HD picture, Great price, Great features, Impressive audio
Standard-def performance, No 1080p support
The 42PD9700 produces one of the clearest pictures on the market today, with awesomely sharp edges combined with almost totally noise-free crispness. This is bolstered by a mastery of blacks and greyscale that conveys convincing depth
Such thinking now seems obsolete, thanks to Hitachi, who first made the qualitative leap. And the good news doesn't stop there either - the 42PD9700 manages to pull it off in fine style. Setting up is easy: Hitachi's usual, uncluttered menu...
A 55in flat TV is no longer reserved for footballers and oil Barons.
Although the 55PD9700's picture glitches mean we can't quite give it an absolutely unreserved recommendation, it's still got more than enough features and quality to register off the scale in value terms. And as such it potentially opens the mega ...
Yet today we find ourselves confronted by a 55in plasma TV, Hitachi's 55PD9700, that's yours for just -2,800. It's also worth pointing out that the 55PD9700 uses Hitachi/Fujitsu's e-ALIS technology. As anyone who's ever looked into getting their...
Award: Recommended!

This Hitachi plasma may have 1080 lines, but there's still some scaling going on.
Does the 42PD9700's native 1080-line approach really deliver a new level of HD picture performance? Perhaps not. But at the same time there's no denying that it's still one of the very best HD performers we've seen ? as well as being beautifully ...
All of which brings us to Hitachi's 42PD9700 plasma TV, and its claims to be the first 1080-line 42in plasma TV in the UK. The existence of the two formats has opened a whole hornet's nest in the UK as some ill-informed press coverage has got...
The Hitachi 42PD9700C convinced by high sharpness, natural color reproduction and very good sound quality. The design, quality workmanship and superior amenities make it a very commendable display [...]
