"The Best Priced 55" Plasma Available. If you are located in California go to Video Only."
Pros: Everything you need for the now and future connectivity. Automatic Swivel Base command from the remote control! Great Picture Quality 1366x768, Virtual 1080P processor, Anti Burn in Panel
Cons: Not as sharp as other plasmas on the market. Black levels could be an improvement to focus on for next year's model. Swivel Base is an additional price.
Summary: Warm color processing and natural detail. Hitachi creates their plasma glass hand-in-hand with FUJITSU in the same manufacturing facility. Apparently they have now bought out Fujitsu taking their company's ownership to 80% of the Japanese manufacturing plant. This means you are dealing directly with a manufacturer and distributor of their own product. Most others (Panasonic, Toshiba, rely on separate entities as their plasma glass suppliers.
Take advantage of attractive pre-order prices at Video Only with Jonathan in the San Francisco Bay Area, San Mateo, CA location.
By the way, Hitachi is one of the only companies that has nationally published articles which state their panels will last 60,000 hours plus! This is an industry leading level!
2 HDMI / Fire Wire (IEEE link), PC, HD cable card tuner, USB Photo, endless connectivity. Sub Woofer output; trust that the speakers are that good to the point where you only need the integrated sound system with a Sub. IR blasters for universal control of external components that may be completely concealed with no visibility for wireless, clean appearance.
