Buyer beware, BUYER BEWARE! Hitachi Tv's are lemons, (Junk).
They look good at first, price is good but after a month or 2 they die.
So if you do not want to waste your good hard earned money run from
Hitachi. Boycott Hitachi Products. If it is too good to be true then it
is. That should be Hitachi's slogan. (Sounds like a duck, quacks like a
duck, it is a duck).
I bought a brand new 42 inch Hitachi 42hds69 Plasma tv and it just
died after a month. It has been serviced 4 times already in 9 months.
Replacing digital boards, power boards and other internal circuitry.
Remember this is a brand new tv but you would never know it. 3 of those
months we were unable to even use it because it was out of service.
I called Hitachi and spoke with senior manager RON JOHNSON
1-800-654-7013 who said he would look in to my complaint about my tv
being a lemon and call me back. After a week, what a shock he never
called back. After going to pick up my tv from Industrial Electronic
Repair 407-855-7214 on Sand Lake Rd in Orlando Florida for the 4th time
(They are clueless idiots) and seeing that they damaged my tv even
further by putting a 3 inch gouge in the front.
I call Hitachi just to be told by customer service that RON JOHNSON
said that having the tv serviced 4 times and the service center putting
a 3 inch gouge in the tv did not fit the bill to either replace the
lemon or even provide an extended warranty. Hitachi said there was
nothing they could do and RON JOHNSON did not even have the courtesy to
tell me himself but have customer service screen and flag my call. So
now I am out all this money, Hitachi Tv is a LEMON and to add insult to
injury the tv is damaged on the front as a reminder every day what a
piece of junk Hitachi products are. Hitachi products are made poorly,
customer service is non existent, Senior manager RON Johnson is a Yes
man who does not believe 4 repairs in 9 months plus damage by Industrial
Electronics Repair warrants any action by Hitachi for this tv being a
LEMON. BUYER BEWARE, Stay away from Hitachi products. Unlike cars that
have Lemon laws electronics do not so it is big business who will win
every time. Do not learn the hard way like I did. Once again Boycott
Hitachi products or you will get burned the hard way as I did. Hitachi
products are Junk Lemons with a quick expiration date. Send a message to
Hitachi and boycott their products! And make sure you post your bad
experienced about Hitachi on the boards and reviews so people know the
truth about Hitachi. Anyone including hitachi can let me know directly
about their bad experience at [email protected]
Hitachi is junk, wont lie. im not impressed with my plasma at all
Sorry for all your trouble guys, but I have to disagree. I couldn't be happier with my 42in Hitachi Plasma. I've had it for just over 11 months now and I've compared my set with a number of friends sets (Samsung, Sony, Sharp) both plasma and LCD's and my set is just as good and more often than not better, than comparable tv's of the same size. I saved anywhere from 400 to 1000 dollars compared to Sony and Samsung and my picture is just as good as theirs.
If you do a search on problems, defects and general overall tv difficulties, you'll find people that have had problems with EVERY brand on the market. Just because you spent a lot of money on a TV and can't find anyone to fix it properly, doesn't necessarily mean Hitachi is "junk". I have nothing but praise for this brand and have talked family and friends into purchasing Hitachi Plasma tv's. None of them have had problems with their sets either and all of them are very satisfied with both the quality and the price Hitachi offers.
I hope your next tv gives you better satisfaction than this one, but just remember, problems can happen with any brand on the market.

I HAVE A 55 INCH HITACHI IT HAS A BLUE SPOT ON THE SCREEN IVE BEEN TOLD A LIGHT ENGINE IS GOIN OUT AT A COST FOR THE PART IS NEARLY 1000.00. THIS TV IS 1 1/2 YEARS OLD WITH 3 YR EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH THE COMPANY IS OUT OF BUSINESS, SO I GUESS IM STUCK WITH A TV I PAID OVER 3000.00. HITACHI IS A PIECE OF JUNK.
55" Hitachi Ultravision Flatscreen died on me...again. The standby light is on but the screen will not turn on. Had it repaired a week ago for $250 and the same problem just occured again. Customer service was very nice (they've had some practice) but I'm done with Hitachi. Any troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated!
Junk, my 42HDS69 just took a ****. Fuse blows on power board, after 20 months. It will most likely cost 400-500 dollars to fix. Is that worth it, NO.
