To many, plasma is a dying technology. It's power-hungry nature and fragile build along with the inherent phosphor degradation issue have given it a lot of bad publicity, especially from the LCD loyalists. But the truth is that plasma is still a worthy contender as a viable HDTV, thanks to it's unmatchable black levels and better viewing angles. Anyways, that discussion warrants for a whole different feature; right now, we test run the 42-inch Hitachi 42PD9800TA plasma HDTV.
Build
Though there isn't anything distinctive about the Hitachi plasma display, it does look pretty sleek. The black and silver color combo matches it with any kind of living room setup. The speakers are placed on either side to the screen making the unit look wider than it is.
I really liked the power swivel function of the TV stand, which allows you to swivel the TV on it's base using the remote control itself. Beats the crap out of calling in your man servant to turn the TV around for you, doesn't it!
