Hitachi's new 141cm visible Plasma Widescreen Television combines stunning design with the latest flat panel technology. Outstanding picture quality is matched by a superb sound system.


Trusted Reviews.com - October 2006: On the Hitachi 55PD9700, John Archer writes "Unlike many megasized flat screens out there, the 55PD9700 was designed from the ground up for domestic rather than corporate users - something emphatically confirmed by its connections, which include those home cinema essentials of two HDMI inputs, component video inputs, three Scarts, a PC jack and an aerial input. Even better, this aerial input connects to a digital tuner, with further digital connection support coming from a CI slot for adding digital subscription services. And we're not done with the connectivity yet, as the TV also thoughtfully provides an SD card slot for direct play back of digital photos, and a USB interface where non-SD users can attach a multi-format card reader."

HDTV.org: On the Hitachi 55PD9700, HDTV.org writes "With the right adjustments the colour on the Hitachi 55PD9700 looks superb. Colours are much more natural than on previous models, and skin tones have gained a realistic subtle appearance. Standard definition looks pretty good on the 55in screen although black levels are a little disappointing. Also, horizontal motion on standard definition can suffer fizzing."
