More Hitachi reviews , RRP: AU$4999.00

The good:

Built-in HD tuner
Motorised stand
One touch input remote
Reasonable price

The bad:

Some pixilation in HD mode
Doesn't support full 1920 x 1080 HD resolution
Poor audio performance

The bottomline:

The current generation of LCD panels have been getting all the attention lately, but Hitachi, one of the pioneers of plasma technology, is fighting back with the 50PD960DTA. Measuring in at a massive 50inches, this display is 1080P capable and looks great in any setting.
