The Bottom Line CNET did not review the Hitachi UT32V502W, but we did review a larger model in a different series. CNET did not review the Hitachi UT32V502, but we did review a larger model in a different series. A high price and a quirky, optional AV Center lessen the appeal, but the stunning design of the ultrathin Hitachi UT37X902 will draw buyers who want the ultimate in flat-panel chic. Although it costs a tad more than bargain-basement models, the Sony KDL-L5000 series makes up for it with above-basement design and picture quality. It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested.
