The best plasma for the money.... Point blank, this is the best plasma on the market today. This model is "middle" of the Hitachi "pro-sumer" line of plasmas. The top of the line (model# 55hdx99) is even more equisite, but rather difficult to find discounted. All of these televisions are consumer models of their professional lines which are world renowned under the Fujitsu brand. The closest competitor in the market is the Pioneer Elite model 5070, however, the 50" will cost you approx. $500 more than the Hitachi and cost yo...

Great Plasma TV I bought this one and the 42" and love both of them. Simply beautiful picture and looks great on the wall. The only cons I have are: (These are differences than the previous Hitachi plasma that I had)

High Quality all around This huge 55" plasma TV is a Cadillac at a Honda price. The TV's bezel is trimed out with real brushed aluminum and it is fairly thin for how wide it is. The picture is great, and bright, and colorful. But here is a tip. If you hook up to a satalitte or a cable box using an HDMI cable (which you should), inside the setup of the box, change the HDMI settings to output RGB. It makes the picture slightly sharper. Overall this TV is half the price of its competitors and lacks no where.

Great TV, dubious quality control I purchased one of these sets in Oct 2006, and it died on June 22,2008. The main power supply failed for unknown reasons. The unit was connected to a high end surge protector but sill managed to trip the circuit breaker it was connected to.
As of June 27,2008 its still in the shop waiting for a new power supply. There is a good possibility that it may have other issues too.
Its a great set, fantastic picture, easy to use.
