Hitachi P50H401 Review
The good: Inexpensive; relatively effective antiglare screen; three independent picture memories per input; versatile selection of aspect-ratio modes and power-saving options; three HDMI inputs.
The bad: Produces a light shade of black; relatively soft picture; inaccurate primary color of green; bluish color temperature that cannot be adjusted; introduces false contouring.
The bottom line: Although it's inexpensive, Hitachi's P50H401 50-inch plasma produces one of the least impressive pictures we've seen lately.
