I bought this TV on 12-6-06 from HH Gregg. They were running a one-day sale and I stole this TV for 999.97, and I couldn't be happier. I searched for a while trying to find a new HDTV that looked great, with my budget I wanted one around $1000. I don't have cable or Satellite (yet), but the salesman through in an RCA HDTV Antenna for free, and I can pick up the local HD channels and they look unbelievable. This TV also has an option that changes the screen color due to the light level in the room (Day: Dynamic, Day: Normal, and Night). If you're thinking of buying a new HDTV and you're on a smaller budget that A Sony SXRD will allow, I very highly recommend this set.

I have this tv and after 3 years it needed a bulb replacement so they gave me the number of their distributor, i ORDERED IT FOR 159.00 then in 5 days got the part but the cover would not go back on so I called and was told I was given a generic bulb because Hitachi stopped making the part and there had been 3 others who had ordered this and had the same problem. It would of been nice if they would of explained all of this when I ordered the part not after waiting and spending so much time trying to get it to work. No to mention it only being three years old and they stopped making parts for it!!!!!!!!! I called them and they could care less!!! Customer service is not good!!!Now I have a big T.v after three years to just throw out!!!!!!!!!!! How green is that? Not to mention it was not cheap!!

Hitachi has been aware for years of the defective light engine on this TV.
Buying this tv will cost another $600 for Hitachi to send the improved light engine to a repair facility.
Buy the Mitsubishi TV instead, they have great customer service.
I got a brand new 60" 3d for $200.00 after my 57" went out, even though the warranty was expired by two years.
