Customer Review: DON'T BUY HITACHI!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
BUY A SHARP AQUOS LCD - THEY ARE MY NEW, FIRST RECOMMEND! If I could do it over again I would!
Let me begin by saying that I'm a technophile - work at Google currently - have worked at Oracle and Microsoft previously... I know technology!
I bought this particular set because of its features and technology... however; it broke 3 months after purchase! After some very annoying back and forth with first line Hitachi customer support, an "authorized Hitachi repair person" came and took my Plasma away - this was near 4 WEEKS AGO, and counting. I have been without ANY TV for near 4 weeks! Buy "authorized Hitachi repair person" I mean some guy - no uniform, loaded my Hitachi in the back of an unmarked, open pickup truck - and left me with some generic service repair ticket.
Customer service is completely inept, uncaring, and without any authority to assist. Its borderline criminal - I originally went with a name brand to avoid this very thing. There is definitively no CARE in Hitachi Customer Care.
Someone at Hitachi viewing this can view my support ticket by last name: Greene, and Zip 94103.
ADVICE: DON'T BUY HITACHI!
Customer Review: poor quality
Summary: 1 Stars
Only 11 month into usage, this TV developed a 3 inch red strip along left side of screen on all input signals. This pretty much renders the TV useless. Even before this, the TV has excessive audio buzzing noise. I have tolerated for almost a year. Definitely will never buy another Hitachi product.Customer Review: Don't buy Hitachi!

My Hitachi HDTV is still broken after 4 repair attempts. Phone support flat out lies to me telling me they don't offer refund or exchange. After escalating it to her supervisor, got him to admit that exchange is an option. Now waiting for them to call me back with their decision. Not holding my breath.Customer Review: Simply Gorgeous
Summary: 5 Stars
It has been more than a month now, since my wife and I purchased this tv. Let me tell you... It is a amazing. We have a near-500 dvd movie library, and this television is amply the centerpiece of the livingroom.
We first noticed it at the local PX (as I am military), in the electronics department. Of all the hd lcd's and plasmas there, THIS model drew "the crowd." It's not just the sleek design, it's all in the picture. CRYSTAL CLEAR. I mean CRYSTAL CLEAR! The brightness was amazing too. When you think of high-definition, it's tv's like this one that come to mind.
It has many, many perks, but one of my many favorite features is the VIEW FROM BEHIND! Yes, it has soooo many different connections and it can support. It is because of this tv, that my wife and I decided to completely upgrade our home theater system. The back of the system clearly shows you that it is a system you can build on. (From conventional rca, to s-video, to component, to hdmi...and we are talking about multiple connections for each)
You definitely get your money's worth.
Customer Review: AWESOME TELEVISION
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted to buy a plasma screen for my husband has a surprise, so I did a lot of research. The Hitachi Ultravision received the best reviews overall. My husband couldn't be happier. The picture is stunning. One thing I noticed, as with all TVs, the closer you get, the fuzzy the picture gets. I wouldn't view this set or any other set closer than five or six feet. Ours is in our workout room in front of the eliptical machine which is about six feet away from the set. The picture is fantastic. Delivery was a breeze and fast. The gentleman who delivered the set made sure that I checked the item for any cracks or defects. He was extremely helpful. I bought the two year warranty with this and the suggested wall mount. My husband said the wall mount was easy to install.
