spf1977 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi All, I am seriously considering buying the above model and I can get it at a pretty good price. I am told that Hitachi are no longer making this model. Rather they are just sticking with the 42PD9600DTA with the tuner and swivel stand. This is the reason they are moving on the others at a really good price. Can someone confirm that this is true? Or is there something more sinister like they have had a lot of problems with this model? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achjimmy Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hitachi generally are very good quality, try doing an extensive search, but i dont think any of the Hitachis were lemons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spf1977 Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 After much deliberation, I finally bought one. Got it for $1701 at JB Hi Fi Belconnen in Canberra, plus $299 for the extended warranty to take it out to five years. Pick it up tomorrow and Foxtel coming next week. Should be a big step up from a 51cm Konka CRT. Now have to decide which DVD recorder to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
