Hitachi 60V500 60 in. HDTV-Ready LCD TV

Pros: Features, remote, Design, HIGHEST QUALITY picture out there with HDTV

Cons: None and this is my second Hitachi LCD. Well like all TVs stand is extra.

The Bottom Line: Simply the BEST! Amazing Picture in HDTV, it is like looking thru glass, or being there. I can not say enough for Hitachi LCD.

Review: This set I prefer to my Sony LCD, flat out with HDTV in use, I have never seen a better picture in a showroom or display of any kind of visual product. Stunning. The features are many, the design is an art-deco look, attractive in any home, unlike ...

Pros: Absolutely everything. Doesn't require a base.

Cons: Costs a chunk o' change, but worth it.

The Bottom Line: The picture blows away the competition when viewing high definition sources. May not be worth the $$$ if your not hooked to HD.

Review: For DVDs and HD programming, one can hardly buy a better set. When I first set foot in HH Gregg looking for a projection TV, my thought was who in their right mind would pay $3900 for a television ... until I saw the Hitachi. Exceptionally clear ...

Pros: Great picture and ease of use

Cons: Cooling fan noise but it's not that bad

Review: I just got my Hitachi a month ago and I'm amazed by the picture every time I turn it on. I bought a new RCA DVD upconverter and the movies we have are like looking at whole new movie from what it was before. I have noticed the noise that's talked about ...

Pros: clarity, colour, sound

Cons: none that I have found so far

Review: I bought mine 3 months ago and am totally impressed with it. I stayed with Hitachi because my previous 46 inch projection TV lasted 13 years without any serviceability problems. Colour is great, picture clarity outstanding, sound good. The set is ...

Pros: Clear,sharp,best color,best results with a good DVD Player,Large viewing angle,not very heavy or very thick.

Cons: Apparently blacks are not as good as CRT but I never really noticed.

Review: This is a wonderful television! I have had it for 3 months and it still is the best TV I have seen. You get sharp color with a razor sharp picture. I recommend using component video cable with a progressive scan DVD player to make full use of the ...

Pros: Brilliant colors, thin size, ease of connectivity, plenty of I/O jacks, Awesome clarity!

Cons: Black colors are often too dark. Matching stand's glass shelves bow. Cooling fan is annoying.

Review: I purchased the 60v500a on April 10, 2004 from Circuit City after much study on RPTV sets. So far this LCD has outperformed my expectations. The picture is brilliant in colors, the clarity is excellent, the sound is great, and the jacks are plenty. It ...

Review: loved my tv...after 8 months i noticed a red glow in it...hitachi came and fixed it and 8 months later the same thing happens and now that its out of warranty, Hitachi wont fix it. hitachi does not stand behind thier products and this buyer will spend ...

Pros: Great picture when new even without HDTV

Cons: Tech service no help when the picture is out of focus Service calls are expensive

Review: I really liked our 50v500 projection TV and for the first year it worked great...then the focus began to shift to the left and when it became very acute I called Hitachi for help and they said I would have to get a qualified repair person to fix the ...

Pros: Nice looking tv with good colors

Cons: pixels burn out very fast

Review: I bought this TV and after only 3 months I noticed a burned out pixel. I called Hitachi and they would not cover it under their warranty. 2 months later I have another burned out pixel and they still will not do anything for it. I will never buy another ...

Pros: Great HD picture.

Cons: Not a very durable television. Expect repair costs in a very short time.

Review: We bought this TV a little over a year ago. The hook up was easy, and the picture in HD is great. The regular cable picture is so / so. As I have noticed on other forums, my 60V500A has also developed a red glow in the center of the screen. It is ...
