            I was hesitant to get this TV since there weren't a lot of reviews on it, but I pulled the trigger and it was a great buy. Picture is very clear, it auto-letterboxes content that is in standard definition (if you set it up that way) which is nice because then you don't have the stretched screen look. Sound quality is good for an LCDTV, but you would definitely benefit by hooking it up to a surround sound system. Overall, good buy and a great price (picked it up for[$]out the door).

            I agree with the other review posted on here. I just received my tv yesterday and it has lighter cloudy ares in both top corners. I will be returning it.

              I love the look of this Hitachi lcd, and it looked good in our living area. The problems with the picture, however, made me realize it would not work for our family. It looked very nice at first, but then I noticed that the left and right corners appeared lighter than the rest of the screen. Also, there seemed to be some cloudy areas (blotchy looking) in different sections of the screen. Sadly, I had to return it and will soon be looking for a replacement
