Amazon.com Product Description
The Hitachi P42H401 is a 42-inch plasma HDTV that brings extraordinary value with a unique HD1080 resolution standard.
Outstanding Picture Quality
With a unique 1280 x 1080 resolution, the P42H401 has over 1,000 lines of vertical resolution, allowing it to have a line-for-line match of incoming 1080i TV signals. While it is not the full 1080p resolution, it has a better resolution than 720p panels at a similar price. Picture quality is further enhanced, thanks to ClearWindow technology that reduces the visibility of a grid structure and maximizes brightness and clarity.
The P42H401 has 1080 lines of vertical resolution for a line-for-line match with 1080i TV signals. View larger. View back panel. |
Timed swtiching allows picture settings to automatically adjust for changing ambient light conditions. |
With the PictureMaster HD IV processor, all video inputs are scaled to match the native resolution of the unit to ensure a detailed picture no matter the source. For a better picture, the processor also performs noise reduction and other picture enhancements, such as dynamic contrast and histogram processing, automatic 3:2 film enhancement, and the capability for 16-bit color. Users can select between four HD and six SD aspect modes, and three preset color temperatures.
Well Connected
The P42H401 has three HDMI SimplayHD inputs (two rear, one front), the highest quality connection available that has both high definition video and audio in one cable. It also has two component video inputs, one S-Video input, four A/V inputs, and one RF/Antenna input. Outputs include one AV monitor output (fixed audio), one S-Video monitor output, and one optical digital audio output. You can connect the optical digital audio output with your home theater system to obtain surround sound when the built-in 20-watt speaker system isn't quite enough. The TV speaker can then be used as a center speaker.
There are built-in ATSC/NTSC tuners, both of which are combined into one tuning memory for seamless selection of channels, regardless of format. The unit is also QAM-digital-cable compatible.
Day and Night Differences
The P42H401 allows for three custom settings that match the picture settings with accompanying ambient light conditions so that you get the optimal picture and contrast settings no matter the hour. Additionally, the anti-reflective screen ensures a quality picture by reducing glare and deepening blacks for more contrast and detail. The television also features multiple screen saver and power saving modes for efficiency when not in use.
The P42H401 is backed by a 1-year parts and labor warranty.

Customer Reviews:
Good value- excellent picture.......2007-12-25 This is a very good value, the picture is excellent. One caveat: YOU MUST READ THE MANUAL! In order to get the best picture, you need to tinker with the settings.
I am well pleased with the TV, the picture is as good or better than many sets I have looked at that were almost twice the price I paid. I highly recommend this one.
Very Good Bargian on a Great TV........2007-12-09 When I first saw this unit advertised, it was @ SEARS for $773. Great deal huh? I thought so too but I himhawed about it too long and missed out. But alas all was not lost! Nebraska Furniture Mart was Johnny-On-The-Spot with a price match for the same model and beat it by 10% the next day that SEARS ran out! So I was swift enought to catch that one and I got it for $745+tax=$810! That alone was the best deal of the century for me! Now a little about the TV itself.
The Good:
The unit is a 1080i (which as you may have read in many other post you will not see from the broadcasters due to bandwidth issues.) However, paired with a Up-Converting DVD (or if you dare to invest in a Blue-ray or HD-DVD player) and whoa baby! Great picture! The menu is quite easy to get through although abit slow. Pleanty of connections in the back (and front) for whatever you may have. Very clean look and feel. I also like the fact that it senses other inputs so that when the TV is off and you start something like the DVD player in my example it turns on and switches to that input. Really neat feature. I haven't fully explored this yet.
The Bad:
The speakers just plain suck.., you could install a set of PC speakers and they would sound better. But hopfully you have a HomeTheater system of sometype and this won't be an issue.
This unit is quite heavy. Over 80lbs, and when I installed the mounting bracket for the wall mount, it was touching on 95lbs. I mounted this unit above my fireplace in brick. I would highly reccommend that this unit not be installed on a studded wall unless you pay someone to do it. I am very comfortable with anchoring things in brick/stone/concrete so I was able to install this unit myself with some help from my brother-inlaw and nephew to lift it into place.
Slow menu reaction.
Overall:
I think for the money invested it was a great bargin, but if I had to pay full or regular sale price on this unit I would have considered other options. Not that I would not have picked this one still.
I gave this unit only 4 stars due to the sound, I think had I paid more for this I would have been very disappointed.
Pretty good plasma for the price.......2007-12-02 I got this unit locally for $770 just before thanksgiving; I didn't feel like like paying $1100 for the Panasonic or staying up all night to pay $900 on black Friday.
I agree with pretty much all of the reviewers; it's not top notch but it is very good. It does seem to need a fair amount of involvement to get the best performance. Some observations:
Hidden power switch. The on/off button on the remote and the front panel is not the REAL power switch. I thought mine was DOA until I called Hitachi support. See pg 12, bullet #7 in the manual. Sheesh.
The sound is pitiful. Yes, you can boost bass & treble, switch on loudness, but that's lipstick on a pig. I don't want to fire up my 800 watt 6.1 sound system just to listen to the news (which looks incredible in HD!).
Video adjustments: The factory presets are not quite right, but I'm not sure how to set for the best results. Day-dynamic blows out the whites (it's the default when the set is powered up). Sometimes I see banding in gradations and facial tones. There's plethora of zoom settings, which are non=linear; peoples heads are slightly squashed or crawler are faster at the edges. I wish all the channels were widescreen (not the tv's fault).
Channel change speed: It will be slow if you press the channel #s or go up/down and just wait. It's waiting for you to press "select". Try it; it's immediate.
I've NEVER seen this for a straight price of $400-500. I imagine you have entire garage full of these if that were true.
Overall, I'm happy with it for the price. The high def is brilliant.
Great Unit.......2007-11-28 Very solid unit with great picture. This may be nit picking, but my only complaints are: tiny channel number text, only one non-digital audio output, and the long amount of time it takes to switch between channels (although this might be true for all plasma tvs....)
Is it worth $700.00.......2007-11-25 I just purchased the H42h401 for $700.00. Before I remove it from the box, I would like to know if the TV is worth it.
