great tv!

great tv- they delivered to my place, I was able to figure out how to hook it up without issue. Great clarity and picture. Love that it swivels

maybe i just don't know how to adjust, but when playing a movie, is very difficult to hear the tv sound

Bang for buck

Overall I think this product has been great to me. No issues, no missing pixels, huge screen, great interface and no motion blur. The one thing that really is a pain though is the mount. You will most certainly require another person to help you hold...

3 HDMI Outputs including one on the front for temporary fast connections ; Great image quality and no noticable image blur ; Played games for several hours with no burn in. Screen automatically dims if on one screen for too long to protect itself ;...

Some of the features are difficult to customize ; No extra cables included so if you have a device that requires an S-Video cable go out and buy one now ; Mount is a pita to put together

HITACHI UltraVision 50" 1080p Plasma HDTV w/ CableCARD P50V701

I dont know what people are talking about when they say this tv isnt 1080p. It absolutley IS a 1080p tv. In order to take advantage of the 1080p you have to use the HDMI ports. 1080p is not supported on the component connections. It absolutely is 1080p...

Please read

look above

Please understand the difference bwtween 1080p and "full HD" It's an ALIS panel which means it is interlaced not progressive. I can tell the difference. There is flicker and visual distortions not inherent to a progressive panel. I just wish NEGG would...

1080i not 1080p

Hitachi uses deceptive advertising on the specs for their TVs. "Three 1080p compatible HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) ports…" means it will play 1080p not that it is a 1080p display. "Full HD" does not mean 1080p. It just means 1900 x 1080...

This is a 1080i TV according to Hitachi technical support. I spoke with them via telephone this morning 5/15/08.

This is not a 1080p TV as listed.
