I’ve always liked Hitachi’s idea of making plasmas with 1080 lines of vertical resolution, even if the horizontal resolution is less than 1920. Such a TV needn’t vertically resize a 1080i or 1080p signal, preserving more detail than with 1280x720 or 1366x768 sets. And the P50H401 does a wonderful job in this regard. However, its inability to render deep, solid blacks and the exaggerated greens and reds tend to offset its detail advantage. Read more
Easy set up. We recommended some of our friends. They got the same tv and they are overall satisfied with it. Great to play WII. We got 4 years warranty on it too. Read more
The SD card slot appears to be for firmware upgrades only - can't recall whether it specified this in the product description, but either way it's not a big deal. If you're in the market for a plasma, I can't recommend this TV highly enough. Read more
For the money, great television. Not a 1080P but unless you are watching a Blu-Ray your not getting 1080P anyways. Nice size in my living room (20x30). Room is well lit during the day so LCD would probably be better but I watch TV mostly at night which is good Plasma time. Read more
I place the order for this T.V. and on the first delivery the item was broken. I refused the shipment and 2 weeks later I received the replacement. I am very happy with this plasma T.V. The colors and sounds are good and I had professionals hang it on the wall for me. I hooked it up with a home theater system and the sound is even better. when I watch High definition programming it is truly a great picture to see. I definitely recommend this T.V. Read more
Hitachi has clearly redefined the High Definition marketplace with the unique HD1080 resolution standard. The P50H401 50" plasma utilizes HD1080 and has over 1,000 lines of resolution at a similar value as 720p panels. The 1,080 vertical line count is a perfect line-for-line match with 1080i incoming signal and the patented ClearWindow™ pixel design maximize brightness and clarity.
