Amazon.com Product Description

Get the most out of your high-definition LCD television purchase with the 32-inch Hitachi 32HDL52, which offers a wealth of advanced technological features that will ensure superior picture and audio performance for years to come. It offers a lightweight, slim profile with a bottom speaker design that can be easily wall-mounted with optional hardware, or sit comfortably in any home entertainment set-up with its included swivel tabletop stand. It also features an integrated ATSC tuner that can capture over-the-air digital broadcasts from local network affiliates (the set will still require a set-top tuner for receiving non-terrestrial HD broadcasts from channels like HBO or Discovery).

When content from film is sent to your home it requires processing that can cause picture noise or distortion. Hitachi's VirtualHD technology analyzes the incoming signal to improve subtle transitions and sharp edges--thus reducing this noise to a minimum and helping to recreate the smooth curves and high fidelity image of the original film source. Hitachi's Super In-Plane Switching (S-IPS) technology allows for crisp, sharp images during rapid motion scenes and a wider viewing angle. Unlike conventional flat panel LCD displays, Hitachi Super-IPS elements twist quickly on a horizontal plane to let light pass through for the fastest response possible.

The 32HDL52 offers a 768p display (1366 x 768), which scales 720p HDTV signals to fit the display. (More than 94 percent of the 720 HD signal is scaled to the display; due to variances in program productions and transmissions not all of the 720 signal is suitable for display.) It also features a stunning 3000:1 contrast ratio (the higher the ratio, the better the color details even in ambient room light), 170-degree viewing angle, and a super-fast 8ms (millisecond) response time, which minimizes blurring of moving images and is especially helpful for sports and action movies.

The 4 MB 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. The anti-reflective, high-contrast screen effectively absorbs ambient room light, reducing reflections and producing richer blacks, vibrant color and increased detail in shadows and highlights. Other features include:

Picture memory by input: Enables individual settings to be saved for different inputs and allows greater connectivity.
Six aspect modes: An exclusive technique of linear expansion is employed to fill the widescreen with conventional programming and to minimize perceptible distortion.
Two color temperatures
Mute and soft mute
V-Chip parental controls
Closed caption decoder
Sleep timer
ATSC (HD) and NTSC (standard broadcast) tuners

This set is equipped with SRS Surround Sound and BBE Sound enhancement for a more immersive home theater experience, and the integrated speakers produce a total of 20 watts of power (10 watts per left/right channel). It includes a DVI input for uncompressed digital RGB connection from source to screen. By eliminating the conversion of the digital signal to analog, it delivers an unblemished image. Thanks to the non-degraded signal, you get less flicker and a clearer picture. The DVI input is compatible with the digital RGB video portion of an HDMI connection (adapter not included). It offers the following connection options:

Composite AV (RCA): 2 in (1 side)
S-Video: 2 in (1 side)
Component Video: 2 in
DVI: 1 in
Monitor: 1 S-Video and 1 composite out
PC RGB: 1 in
Analog RGB/DVI audio: 1 in
Subwoofer: 1 out
Headphone: 1 (side)

Tech Talk

Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

Good picture and sound, flaky CPU and memory system........2007-05-20

I bought this set in late 2005, and here's a summary of my experiences:

THE GOOD:
- Fine picture. It looked about as good as any of the higher end models in the store.
- Good sound. Again, no disappointments here.
- Large number of connectors and interfaces are available. Maybe some sets have more, and maybe this set doesn't have every type of connector out there, but it has a respectable number.
- Built-in Digital Tuner. This lets me pick up free, over the air digital TV with just an antenna.

THE BAD:
- Flaky CPU and/or memory system. This is a real pain. About every 6 months or so, the internal memory system will forget all of my favorite channels. Also, every couple of weeks, the computer randomly switches me from only flipping between my favorite channels to flipping through all channels. There is no warning when this happens - I'll be scrolling through the channels and suddenly I'll be on a channel that I know is NOT in my list of favorites. I bring the menu, and sure enough, it has changed itself back to All Channels.

- Strange, never ending "Updating Channel Database" messages. This happens all the time. One moment, you're watching TV, then it pops up a message "Updating channel database." I assume it scans the airwaves to do this, but I have no idea why it feels it needs to do this several times during a half-hour TV show, or sometimes several times in one minute. Worse, on a few occasions, it's "updates" have caused channels to vanish from my list of available channels. Just last week, it attempted to replace FOX 45 with FOX 46... there is no FOX 46 in this area, so I have no idea what it was trying to do. And there's no way to undo it, which leads me to the next problem...

- Digital TV interface is "plastered on" and is a poorly done mess: The Digital TV menus and instructions are often vague and difficult to figure out, and there is no way to undo the TV random decisions to change the list of available channels, "forget" channels just because the reception is poor, or otherwise mess things up. Supposedly, one can manually scan for channels to add them back into the database, but this never works. The only option is to waste 10 minutes having the TV sweep ALL channels and try to rebuild the corrupted database from scratch. Note that there's a 50% chance that in doing this, it will forget OTHER channels, thus forcing a repeat of the whole process!

- Set is needlessly large and heavy. Come on - 60+ pounds for a 32" LCD?! Does it have lead bricks in it?

- Instructions are clearly poorly translated from another language and often lack useful information, especially with regard to the "pasted on" Digital TV interface.

SUMMARY: A good TV for watching movies and playing video games, but unless there is some way to fix the TV's constant attempts to "update the channel database" and at the same time dropping channels and corrupting the channel database, I CANNOT recommend it for normal TV use.

Not the One to Buy. Below Average Hardware. Look Elsewhere........2004-06-02

Pacific Digital is simply not the company to purchase a CDRW from. It's as simple as that. Whatever speed you want, whether internal or external, please look elsewhere.

As should be obvious by other reviewers and a simple web search, they don't honor their rebates. Don't be roped in by saving a few bucks!

Their support is non-existant. Luckily I am an advanced user and I can configure things without manuals. For those who don't consider themselves an "advanced user," be prepared to be frustrated!

Warranties are meaningless. These units are only good for occasional use. If you burn a lot, your unit WILL break. It's not a question of 'if,' it's a question of 'when.' The internal hardware mechanics are simply cheaply put together.

That said, when the unit works, it's not terrible. Although one still does recieve some bad burns, even with buffer underun protection.

Nero is nero, no matter what the drive. I think the software is comparably as good as Roxio. However other than the disk copy utility, the CD compilation and custom burning software is not as good. You might want some documentation on what kind of disk format to make your custom burns in. Good luck finding it. This drive doesn't come with it.

Save yourself some grief and invest in another drive.

Great Product but POOR Company.......2003-08-05

I have been satified with the product, but they would not process my rebate because I supplied a PO BOX & physical address. I understand they have to make money to remain a business entity, but please...do not make offers you do not plan to stand behind!

Documentation Issues.......2002-10-13

First of all, Not clear to me how I access other Buyer's reviews of this product?? Or any Product b/f I buy it??
The Hardware itself appears to work OK. I'm upset that NO paper Manual included on how to use the Software! I need to use 2 computers: one to read CD-Manual & other to attempt to get Software to work! W/o the "Wizard" feature, I would NOT been able do a simple CD-Copy Burn. Although specific Sections of Manual written fairly well, it is not organized well for the Novice (ie. me)! Specific Basic steps appear to be missing in some explanations! I can see me spending hours trying to figure out the manual's instructions & waste many incorrectly-burned CDs! If there is a feature to "Preview" what is to be Burned, I have not found/seen it yet! I have not had time yet to see if PD's support will be helpful.

What do you expect for ($$)?.......2002-12-03

This is a cheap phone. I bought this one at local store for ($$$), minus the rebate. I've owned it for about a month now.

Let's get down to business - the phone I have uses the same circuitry as this one but is styled differently, kind of a futuristic style, really. It has a volume switch, a scan button to get a better channel, a redial button, page, memory button, a flash button, and a pause button. Not to mention the headset jack!

I love the compact base on this phone, but when it comes down to it, it dosen't sound as good as my other cordless phones (I own 7).

For one thing, unless the other person talks loud, it's hard to hear them. Raising the volume helps, but it's still hard to hear some callers. The manual is short and shows mediocre English skills, but this phone is easy to use and setup. The fit and finish is very good, and could compete with some uptown phones in the ($$$) range.

The wall mount bracket is unuseful, as the phone is unsteady if it's hanging on the wall. Of course, I use it as a desktop cordless phone, so it dosen't matter.

Overall, this is fine for calling up the bank info line, or calling time and temperature. I use it to answer the phone, and if it isn't a telemarketer, I can get on my other cordless to talk. However, it's not a good primary phone.
