Bought a 50 in plasma for 1500. After a few months I noticed lines of contrast going throug the picture so I called Hitachi service.Since the tv was still under factory warranty they sent a tech to check it out.Right out of the gate the guy told me he thought I needed a new screen.But hitachi wouldn't pay for that until he tried the cheap fixes.Ordered a main board no change.Then another part I can't say what it was called that didn't work either. now I thought I was wating for the screen and Hitachi calls me and says that these lines going through my screen are NORMAL????
Long story short HITACHI SUCKS NEVER BUY ANYTHING WITH THEIR NAME ON IT HORRIBLE PICTURE
