Great TV. Couldn't be happier November 29, 2008
Kris A
After trying out lot of lcd tvs (Vizio, Sceptre, Sharp), I finally bought and settled on this in Feb. 08 (9 months now) at a great price (not from Amazon). The TV is simply great. Very vivid colors, fast response. Best of all, the up conversion built in the TV works great for viewing standard format. HD format is amazing of course. Lots of options. Two things I don't like - PIP - you can't watch PIP from two different TV channels. Second - Can't write the content on to a DVD disk (The TV output intentionally degrades the quality). This is a problem if you have MiniDV camcorder and you want to burn your tape to a DVD disk using the TV. You have to resort to a computer in that case.
Excellent buy October 6, 2008

I compared TVs in various size ranges for about 6 months, and this one was the best value I found. If you can still find one before they're gone, buy it. I have been using mine for four months and could not be happier. (They have a thinner version of this one that looked great too, but this one costs less.) The colors are more brilliant and when I watch many of my DVDs, I forget that are not Blu-ray becasue this TV does such a good job of displaying them. I almost went on to other brands because some of the specifications were not published (like contrast ratio) but I am satisfied with my purchase.

After much research and reading tons of reviews on all lcd tv's, I ordered this Hitachi L47V651 through amazon/sale stores. When the lone delivery guy arrived he was having alot of problems getting the huge box through doorways by himself and kept turning the box upside down and all directions until I asked him to stop it. Finally we got the box into my living room and he rushed off (in other words dont think you will get help in getting the tv out of the box and onto your stand from this company) Thankfully this abuse did not seem to affect the performance.
TV is very easy to connect using HDMI cables, however if you have Time Warner Cable you need an HD box and they do NOT provide the HDMI cables. Also, if you are hooking up a DVD player make sure you have a 2nd HDMI cable. If you want PIP to work you will need 2 other cables(phono or rca???0) or in my case I had a splitter for the cable coming out of the wall with 1 going independently into the DVD player.
The TV itself is elegant and the picture even on non HD programming is great - very sharp with vivid colors, and the sound is quite good and loud. Factory settings were not satisfactory for me but there are tons of adjustments that can be made which are very easy to do to your own satisfaction. The remote is very functional and you can even adjust the Day/Nite modes and aspect using a button on the remote instead of going through settings. There is even a freeze button on the remote which is a great feature. The PIP is split screen and is the best thing ever although u cannot view analog channels in PIP. The swiveling base is a fantastic feature and you will use it more than you think (I can turn the tv almost halfway around to watch tv while on exercise equipment or if there is too much glare, although the anti-glare screen works wonders).
Now for warranty issues. I researched the extended warranties offered by the company on amazon and was completely confused as to what exactly was provided especially whether the warranty provided in-home service and replacements if same problem occurs more than once. Im still not sure of either but I think not. I discovered that if you register the tv on the Hitachi website it gives you an option after you have registered the tv to purchase an extended warranty thru Aig warranty services from 1 year to 5 years. The prices range from a 2 year warranty at $124.99 to $229.99 for 5 years and the warranty definatly provides in home service and a replacement if same problem reoccurs after being fixed twice after the manufacturers warranty expires so I opted for the 5 year extended warranty.
I am extremely happy I chose this TV and if it still great in a few months I will buy another Hitachi for the bedroom.

Just received this TV, it is awesome, and a great value for the money. This model made by Hitachi, is comparable to the competitors premium line of TV's. Spent a lot of time looking at the competition, making comparison of features both online and in the stores,and this TV is a winner. With the power swivel stand, it makes viewing from any angle great.
Excellent LCD for the price. January 17, 2008

I picked this beauty up about 2 months ago and could not be more pleased. The specs for this TV are all over the net so I'll save the space here and let you look them up for yourself. The one thing that most websites do not list is the contrast ratio which I have seen listed at both 1500:1 and 1800:1 on some random sites. I assure you that the colors are plentiful and remember that contrast ratio measurements vary between manufacturers, so don't let the 100k:1 contrast ratio on that bargain LCD fool you.
There are two convinient remote control buttons that allow you to change the aspect ratio and contrast presets without having to enter any menus. The three contrast presets are, day(dynamic), day, and night. Each of those presets are fully customizeable and can be set on a schedule so that the tv automatically switches to one of the three presets based on the time of day. I usually close my blinds when watching movies because it's just more fun, but I watch a lot of sports and even on brighter days the "day(dynamic)" provides a very rich picture that is due in part to the anti-reflective screen. So in summary, the color contrast and brightness are excellent. I can't use the day(dynamic) setting at night because after an hour or so it's just too bright. You obviously cannont expect the same vibrance from the night setting as the day, but I use all three settings dependent on time and the signal, so the feature is very useful.
The power swivel gets more use than you might think, even though the viewing angle is 178 degrees, which basically means that the picture is great from any realistic viewing angle. The base has holes in the back and hooks on the back of the TV for mounting it to a base and wall.
It's a really slick looking TV. The bezel is shiney but never takes your eyes off of the screen. There is an LED indicator for power on, off, and standby which it goes to automatically after not receiving a signal for a few seconds. The LED has never distracted my eye.
Now, the picture quality... The best signal I've thrown at it so far is a 1080i signal from digital cable and an XBOX 360. Stunning. Sports on HDNET(1080i broadcast) are amazing, and a great treat for hockey fans. 720p signals, such as ESPNHD are also very crisp and there is zero blurring even during fast moving scences with high color contrast. I'm still amazed at the crisp edges on text from an HD source. I can't wait to pick up a blu-ray. If there is any area of this tv to complain about, it's not here. Stock color settings are good, but you may want too tweak a bit on the "night" preset contrast settings. I sit about 10 feet from the TV.
