The Bottom Line CNET did not review the Hitachi UT47V702, but we did review a smaller 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. CNET did not review the Hitachi UT42V702, but we did review a smaller model in a different series. Samsung's PNB650 series can't quite match the best plasmas on the market, but it comes close enough to offer a viable alternative. Deep black levels and accurate color help propel the LED-backlit LG LH90 series into the front row of the LCD picture quality class.
