4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Plasma TV compared to the others., November 26, 2008

This review is from: Hitachi P50S602 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV with Swivel Stand (Electronics)

Overall I would highly recommend this TV. I did a lot of comparison shopping (actually bought it at a local store) for both price and features and this Hitachi won. I actually bought a Panasonic Plasma and returned it because the picture was so poor, it appeared to be designed solely for HD while this Hitachi does well with any signal.

One of the primary reasons I bought another Hitachi is that it has built-in Up-Conversion. What this means is that it can take a conventional signal (non-HD) and will convert it to a higher resolution. We have a 65" Hitachi projection TV and the picture is outstanding. This one is even better.

Another advantage to this model is that it has the QAM Tuner which allows you to receive Cable HD channels that are not encrypted. Our Cable company broadcasts both the regular local channels and the HD version of those channels but it requires a QAM tuner. On this tv the HD pictures are absolutely outstanding. They are so good, I almost think it is a painting or hard picture.

The only thing I wish it had was an easily programmable Favorites function. But then nobody else does either. Some time ago, I had a cable box that had a Favorites function that worked simply buy hitting two buttons and you delete by hitting two buttons. No menus, just quick setting. I occasionally like to watch 2-4 programs simultaneously but with just the Last function that makes it difficult.

This is my second hdtv that have purchased and I have been very satisfied with it. I originally was thinking of getting an LCD HDTV but then after talking to a salesperson was convinced to look into getting a plasma. I have found this TV to be great for sports and movies. The blacks are really black and fast moving events are clear. I also like that this TV comes with a swivel stand so that I can tilt the TV to the part of the room that I am sitting in.

This plasma is everything you want in a TV. Great, natural color, deep blacks, 24p movie mode and much more. Watch the Blu-ray movie "Cars" on this TV & you'll wonder how anything could ever look better at any price. Buy this TV. You won't be sorry.
