    Welcome Scott

    You might get more results if you post in the RPTV area (see my signature). (Kevin, when ya get chance to move this.... thanks buddy :wink: )

    I own a lower-model Hitachi myself and couldn't be happier. Hitachi is my pick for RPTV's and the S series sets are one of their better examples. I'm sure you'll be quite happy :T You'll likely require some tweaking to get the set looking good. (Remember to turn off all sharpness, SVM, noise reduction etc. Basically any of the supposed "picture enhancements" :throwup: ) Have you picked up a copy of Video Essentials or AVIA yet? Have you any plans to get the set ISF'd? I highly recommend it if you have the funds available as your set will go from really good to stunning! :E

      Moved thread

      Ok, I moved the thread to the RPTV section.

      Hitachi makes nice RPTVs. I've tweaked a few in my day. With proper calibration they'll rival anything else out there in RPTV land, especially if you can feed it a HDTV (1080i) signal.

      One thing that's tricky with Hitachis is getting the Sharpness set correctly. Crank it down too low and you'll get a soft picture. Keep it too high and you get edge enhancement artifacts. Get a copy of Video Essentials or AVIA and use the test patterns to get it right.

        I have to say I like Hitachi a lot.....

        I have a 6 year old 60 inch RPTV...it runs like 20 hours a day....we often forget to shut it off......works like a charm,,,a real diesel!

        :T
        Got a nice rack to show me ?
