Hitachi 55pma550e - 10 Out of 10 for Picture Quality!

Buying a new television nowadays is a major investment. The idea of parting with what could be a couple of hundred notes does tend to concentrate the mind somewhat.

Given the speed and rapidity of technological advances nowadays think carefully about whatever purchase you make and try and ensure within reason the future compatibility of your TV with industry standards.

The latest telecommunication system for broadcasting moving pictures and sound is known as Digital television (DTT) and as the name implies this relies upon the transmission and reception of digital signals as opposed to the more conventional analogue formats. DTV uses digital modulation data, which is digitally compressed and requires decoding by a specially designed television set, or a standard receiver with a set-top box, or a PC fitted with a television card.

For the purposes of this article we want to take a look at purchasing a new Flat Screen Television and in this case the television in question is the Hitachi 55PMA550E.

The 55PMA550E is a 55in Plasma TV and the prices for these would be in the region of 3500 pounds sterling or 7000 US dollars. The screen resolution is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD Ready the answer is yes. The Hitachi has 1 (1 RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the 55PMA550E uses is DVI and 1. The type of Tuner for this TV is Analogue and the Hitachi is available from a wide variety of outlets.

All these points being taken into consideration, how would we view the Hitachi 55PMA550E?

The most obvious place to start with as far as TV's are concerned would be the picture quality and our score here would be 10 out of 10, and closely tied in to the picture quality is the sound quality and our score for this would be 8 out of 10. Taking a look at the number of relevant connections and their availability, our score would be 10 out of 10. As far as overall features are concerned we would give it 10 out of 10 if we then take a look at the ease of use and overall value for money then our scores would be, 8 out of 10 and 10 out of 10 respectively.

Finally our overall opinion would be that this Plasma TV has we feel got performance, style and sophistication oozing out of every connection but this has to be balanced by the fact that it is not the cheapest Plasma screen available.
