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.

Editors' rating:

7.5/10

Users' rating:

9/10
