The Hitachi 42PD6600 42-inch Plasma TV Review
Unbeatable Editor Review
editor
The Hitachi 42PD6600 42-inch Plasma TV is a popular search on the Unbeatable website, and several factors could be grabbing the interest of the savvy shopper doing their research. First the price is has to be mentioned; the price for this 42-inch, HD-Ready Plasma TV was around the £1,500 price tag at the beginning of the year. The Unbeatable Price History tool shows that over a 3-month period the price has dropped to under £1,200, which is a phenomenal price for a TV of this spec.
Hitachi have managed to design and produce a stylish looking TV that has a wealth of features that will suit the pocket of a large screen HD enthusiast with a budget. The 42PD6600 has a display resolution of 1024x1024 that will support HD, contrast ratio is 3000:1, brightness is 1400cd/m2, and viewing angle comes in at 178º, which is all very respectable for such value.
The TV comes with all the essential input connectors including, HDMI, S-Video, Component and Composite inputs, 3 Scarts, Audio and PC input to mention a few. Image quality is excellent, the Hitachi display produces vivid colours and deep blacks, and this is complimented by a quality of the audio that is powered by 2 x 10 watt stereo speakers.
The Hitachi 42PD6600 is worth consideration with this level of specification at a very affordable price.
