Nearly as strong as a Samsung LED, nearly half the price!
By John Yezeguielian
I bought mine from Sam's Club (for the same price). I was able to look at this right next to a $1150 Samsung LED unit, and it was only 5-10% less impressive than that TV, except that this one is a LCD! Another great feature was that it has audio outputs. I'd purchased a lesser TV and returned it because the audio wouldn't sync up with the HDMI, so people's lips weren't in sync with the sound of their voice on my surround system. Having audio outs fixed that problem. I could brag on this TV for a while, but the most concise way of saying it is that I don't watch TV much, usually DVD and BluRay, a bit of HD Animal Planet maybe. Haven't justified spending money on a new TV before, but this one was simply too good a deal to pass on, too impressive a picture for the money ($649). When I researched it, they were going for over $1000 just a few months before. From the quality of both the sound and the pictures, I tend to think it was worth that price as well!Summary: Great deal, first-rate product at a discount price. No regrets!Follow-up: Hitachi has a Firmware update available for this TV. Go to [...] and you'll find the link for Downloads. Transfer the files from your hard drive to a USB media, and install to get to 2.1 rather than the 2.0x that it may have shipped with. Biggest changes I noticed are that it seems to be more prepared for digital TV channels... but also that some of the (mostly unwanted) digital foreign language channels aren't coming in anymore.

A great deal
By Michael J.
This was Hitachi's new model June 2010. Sam's Club had it (special purchase) at $648. Maybe they still do. I grabbed it and could not be more pleased. I note none of the problems that were reported on previous version (L42S503).

By Cynicalty
Bought the tv friday, got the hdmi cables saturday and it's absolutely amazing. Checked out a friend's brand new 50 inch 3d tv and mine is just as good!! Easy set up, beautiful bright picture, more hdmi inputs than I even need. Can't say enough good things about the tv. Plus, buy it at Sam's club, cheapest extra 2 year warranty around, 50 bucks!!
