My Experience: Mine has been in the shop twice for a month total to try and adjust screen door effect. Better now but not what a $5000 set should be. Hitachi has great customer service people but because of the limited sellers of this set they have no service people that really know anything about them. It has a lot of great features, sound is great, USB input for picture viewing is fantastic, tons of input outputs(my HDMI doesnt work ;( so another visit to the shop. Great remote control .
Problems: Bad picture quality especially in Analog channels Had to replace screen to improve picture Quality Screen door or Vertical lines are annoying Needs picture adjusting out of the box HDMI doesnt presently work Dissapointed for the price I paid
