We purchased a 42” Hitachi Plasma TV in 2006 to replace a perfectly good RCA tv we had since 1989. The Hitachi had the best input/output board of any tv I’ve ever encountered. It had an s-video output so you could hook a DVD recorder up to it and get a good quality recording. hvac companies columbia sc retaining walls charleston sc

However after a year I heard a loud pop. The Tv was not even on but something exploded inside. Hitachi agreed to replace the part but I had to pay for labour. The TV worked ok for about 7 more years. The next issue involved any power outage. When the power went back on it took the Tv about a week later to decide to power on. There was also a loud hum that drove the family crazy so I finally junked it in 2017.

TV was pretty good, sound not great but overall an OK TV. new car and truck

However, this past week it only has a sound with a black screen. Looking at these reviews, this is a common problem but the company does not care. Will never purchase a Hitachi TV again and will recommend against them to friends and family.

I have this 29 “ PAL/SECAM TV for 21 years—same bright colors, same performance, picture never failed ever once. Was able to connect it to the Internet through Sony BlueRay player. I bought Bravia Sony OLED recently, but only because kids wanted a bigger screen. This old Hitachi does not give any signs of failing.

After 15 years and 4 movings, the button switching the screen from video to TV mode sometime fails. Can still switch with remote with no problems.
