Hitachi 42HDT51 Review
The good: Complete independent memory per input, including separate Day and Night modes for each input; excellent connectivity; includes power swivel stand.

The bottom line: An awesome design and a full-fledged feature package make this higher-resolution plasma almost worth its high price.
