Hitachi 50V500 Review

Editors' rating

The good: Black-level performance on a par with DLP TVs'; slim and light design; custom Day and Night modes for each input; excellent feature package.

The bad: Black-level performance still less than perfect; expensive.

The bottom line: While not quite as fetching as some, this set offers the best out-of-the-box performance we've seen yet from a rear-projection LCD.
