Hitachi 43FDX20B 43-Inch Projection HD-Ready Monitor/TV
Good But Shows Some Flaws
I've owned this HDTV for 1 year and 6 months.  I won't get into too many details about the TV's specifications. The picture is good; the sound is good; and there's a smorgasbord of customization features.<br />Now let me describe the three problems I have with it:<br />My model comes with a plastic cover over the screen which causes some glare from light sources.  This cover cannot be removed without taking the TV apart.  Newer models of the same TV don't have the cover, so this may not apply to all prospective buyers.<br />After using the TV for a while I noticed these curved black lines across the middle of the screen.  They're largest at the edges of the screen and get smaller as they approach the center until they're nonexistent.  They're always there but aren't easily visible.  I was practically looking for imperfections before I saw them and they're unnoticeable against dark images.<br />Finally, there seems to be something wrong with the color.  I don't know if this is a growing problem or if it's been there all along.  The bottom-left corner of the screen has a blue shift to it and the top-right corner has a red shift.  It's as if the red &amp; blue color convergence is out of adjustment.  Manually changing said convergence doesn't help much.  It might've always been like that and I just didn't notice before, I don't know.<br />These two problems may simply be flukes to which only my TV suffers.  Also, keep in mind that I am a videophile perfectionist and my reviews for such products are strict.
