I bought one of these early this week. I have to say i am impressed. Looked at a number of different plasmas from Pioneer to Panasonic and even though what I really liked was the Pioneer Elite 42" this Hitachi was more reasonably priced and serves me well. HD looks unbelievable through HDMI cable.
Been looking at a lot of 42 inch plasmas...the guy at circuit city said this one is better than the panasonic...really appreciate any thoughts on the matter?
