Hitachi P 60 XR 01

Advantages: Looks very nice cosmetically
Disadvantages: All A/V inputs differ from international standard (unless someone can prove otherwise)

...I've had the Hitach P50XR01U for a little over 2 weeks now and not being an expert, find the picture quality to my liking with plenty of adjustment to play with. The audio is not quite to my liking, being their latest 50" plasma TV I would have expected the quality of the audio to be much better. The main reason I bought this TV was because of the vast number of input/outputs on board. I've operated a karaoke business for 20 years now and often have karaoke parties at my house. I was horrified when I connected my JVC karaoke player and my KAM1920 radio mic set to the TV, using the inbuilt TV amplifier and internal speakers, there is a definate delay in the audio from the microphones being delivered at the TV speakers making it un-useable, I tried all the other inputs but just the same. Full of dissapointment I approached the retailer who... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, good picture, many connections for peripherals
Disadvantages: The name for brand snobs, not the most attractive TV

...The Hitachi L37V01 HD LCD TV is a full High Definition television. That means it can display in 720p, 1080i and 1080p modes, unlike a lot of 'HD Ready' TVs on the market which only manage 720p. This means that you get a crisper image from devices which support these resolutions, such as the Xbox 360. I saw this TV on Amazon for under £500, and thought it looked like an excellent deal. I was slightly nervous about buying it, as there were very few reviews available online, but after taking the Tv from its securely packaged box and setting it up, I'm pleased to say there are no problems at all. The quality of the materials used on the TV itself look and feel high quality, but the remote seems a bit cheap, although it's sturdy enough for everyday use. The picture from the freeview was good, and the automatic channel finder... Read review

Advantages: Large screen, hdmi, HD ready, Freeview built in, Power swivel, SD card reader.
Disadvantages: Didn't come with a RF lead.....thats about it.

...can even view your digital photos from a USB port which is based on the front, so you can connect your digital camera or your USB memory card reader. A headphone jack point. A user friendly menu system. First time installation setup system. High quality sound with various options to which sound output you want. Lovely high defintion picture with various picture options. The colours are rich, intense, and a pleasure to watch. You can even change the screen size layout to Panoramic, 14:9, full, 4:3 & panoramic. I must admit i have already given my PS2 to a bash on this. Its like being in an arcade with the screen so big and the bass coming out of the speakers. Its like i\'ll never go back to using a CRT TV ever again. I\'ve been converted to the realm of plasma TV's. I must say one thing though. Hitachi are really the only company... Read review
