5.0 out of 5 stars Hitachi = Hi Quality, November 26, 2002

This review is from: Hitachi 51UWX20B 51-Inch 16:9 Projection HDTV-Ready Monitor/TV (Electronics)

I originally bought a Samsung 43" 16:9 which exploded after 18 days. Went back to get another and saw the Hitachi. The picture was great and with all the options it included it was my first choice. Price was higher than what I wanted to spend, but when the salesman knocked $400 off to keep my business, I couldn't pass it up. Once hooked up at home I popped in the Star Wars II DVD into my new Home Theater System, sat back and decided that I never need to go to a theater again. Now if I could only get one remote to do everything instead of having 5 remotes I would truly be in heaven.

This review is from: Hitachi 51UWX20B 51-Inch 16:9 Projection HDTV-Ready Monitor/TV (Electronics)

Purchase from Amazon in Feb 2003, delivered by truck (took about a week) and they set it up for no additional charge...

Worked perfect for 6 months -- then suddently stopped working one night [~ 2:00 am when I had fallen asleep watching it :)]. Called Hitachi and they found someone who would service it (most I called did not want to come to my location as I'm 35 miles outside of Chicago). The service people contacted me - came out, diagnosed the problem ("jungle" chip) and left. 2 weeks later came back out, fixed it (no charge) and it's been fine ever since.

Picture is still fantastic, service is excellent and despite my angst over it not working for a bit has been an excellent TV. I would recommend an extended warranty however.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super sharp with DVDs, May 8, 2003

Film afficianado (Vermont) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hitachi 51UWX20B 51-Inch 16:9 Projection HDTV-Ready Monitor/TV (Electronics)

I had been looking at projection TVs for 3 years and never saw anything in the showrooms that I couldn't live without - until I wandered into Circuit City at the Holyoke Mall. There I saw the Hitachi 51UWX - the picture was spectacular. CC delivered it to me in Vermont (free delivery - with 3 ft of snow on the ground) and set it up. It's been 'Cinema Nirvana' ever since. The key feature is the ability to manually sharpen the image at 117 points on the screen - the result is a sharper image (from DVDs) than any first-run movie theater can provide. If you're a film afficianado - this is the machine.
