Hitachi P50H401

 

I've always liked Hitachi's idea of making plasmas with 1080 lines of vertical resolution, even if the horizontal resolution is less than 1920. Such a TV needn't vertically resize a 1080i or 1080p signal, preserving more detail than with 1280x720 or...

Hitachi P42H401 Ultravision Plasma HDTV

 

Do you need 1080p in a 42-inch flat panel? This is an important question, especially for plasma manufacturers that fear losing customers to the LCD camp at this highly coveted screen size. Up until now, plasma technology's cell structure has made it...

Overall, the P42H401 is a solid everyday television. Its detail, color, and processing help it perform well with a wide range of sources in various viewing environments, but it lacks the high-end refinement that a discerning enthusiast would desire....

Hitachi P50H401 50-inch Plasma

 

O ne of the major buzzwords around HDTV right now is 1080p (I know, that's a number not a word). Flat panel TVs with 1080p resolution create the most excitement among videophiles, and command the highest prices from electronics dealers. Hitachi has a...

Hitachi offers an interesting proposition in this TV. The pixel resolution puts it between the typical and the top panels, but offers it at a more competitive price coming from a major manufacturer-and that last point is worth repeating. Hitachi is a...

Less Vibrant but More Accurate Display Than Most of Its Competitors

 

I picked up one of these in October from Cicuit City and via a tremendous price match to Sears, incorporating a $150 instant rebate for financing the TV, I managed to get it for $684. That's still the best deal I've seen on a 42" flat panel HDTV. In ...

Clear, sharp resolution, realistic colors, good value, quality manufacturer

Lower contrast than other 1st tier HDTV's; Slow menu changes, average sound

Great Value and Great Performance

 

I did a lot of comparison shopping and research before choosing this HDTV. One thing I like about this particular model number has is a higher resolution (1280x1080) than all of the other 50" 720p category models on the market. It's not really supposed...

Great picture: excellent color depth and resolution.

No button to control A/V receiver on the provided remote

Great deal on a leader in plasma makers

 

After watching the prices tumble over the years, and now they are at an all time low, I helped friend upgrade to flat screen plasma. We looked at dozens of models in the stores and he decided on the Hitachi P42H401. The features he wanted and the price...

Hitachi P50H401 1080p 50-inch Plasma HDTV with HDMI - Stunning Video, Great Deal

 

I could not resist the pre-Black Friday deal that Best Buy had. A 50-inch Hitachi plasma TV with 1080p-compliant inputs for $996? Yes, please. So, credit card in hand, I walked to the closest Best Buy store on the day it was available at $1,000 off ...

Excellent video quality, features, connectivity, viewing angle, lack of glare, price, warranty

Black level, some usability issues (slow menus, etc.)
