Score 8.0/10+ Perfect picture.
- Need to buy a surround sound system to get the home theatre effect. Also Sky remote does not work for volume control so have to use two remotes together.

Chris, Southampton
Score 10.0/10+ Very sharp, fantastic colourful picture, bright display, large number of inputs including 2 RGB SCARTs, loads of options, great sound, great looking!
- If I was pushed for some bad points... Power button in awkward place, heavy to move, sound compression drive on "perfect sound" option is set to overkill.

David, Runcorn
Score 10.0/10+ Great picture, fantastic features and options. Good price point too. Picture in picture is great.
- Very heavy TV and instruction manuals should never come in volumes. Interface could be more intuitive, rather than having to look things up. On switch is hidden behind telly - this annoyed the wife for a while.

a great looking plasma tv, excellent vision and great sound...
the swivel facility is tremendously useful, as it can be kept flat to the wall until needed, then angled to the viewer(s)

nothing at all...
maybe the price of wall mounting brackets !

Expert reviews for Hitachi 42PD7200
TechRadar expert review
While it's tempting to compare Hitachi's well-earned reputation for producing top-draw plasmas to the fearsome reputation of football champions Chelsea, it's the relatively low price of the brand's 42PD7200 that's really attractive - not something we'd ever associate with West London's richest.The reasonable price doesn't mean that corners have been cut, however. Despite a simple outward appearance, the set boasts both HDMI and DVI inputs capable of taking high-def material - making Sky's HDTV footie plans well within reach. What's more, these appear alongside component video inputs,…
