So there I was, poised to make the kill on the Sony I had been reviewing for the last few months...then a sideball was thrown as I glanced over at the Hitachi 50v500. Mr. Circuit City guy started going on about how much he preferred THIS hitachi 50V500 over the KF50WE610 picture quality...in a few ways I could see he was right but I had to go do my homework before I chose something I had not researched. This is where I beseech the unending knowledge and experience of this board...the question remains :
Hitachi 50v500 OR Sony KF50WE610
Please help ! Any input would be awesome !

It seems fishy. CC eveywhere seems to be pushing Hitachi. Noticed (on the hitachi usa website) that they, alongwith sears are the only dealers for hitachi. I'd suggest reviewing an independent (??) site like cnet first. Also, the reviews on the cc site have several, and I mean several -ve revs abt the 50v500.
Yes, I noticed that too. Second page of our Chicago CC ad today was 1/4 of the page with the 50V500...who knows. Though, despite some people's initial technical difficulties, this board seems to LOVE the 50v500 over the sony.

I've been leaning back and forth between the two. I came back from CC convinced I was going to buy the Hitachi. Then read the CC reviews and now I'm too scared becauee of the crop circles, gray patches and what have you. Needless to say I'm now thinking I should get the Sony. Either way I'd buy it from the store and get the ext warranty. However...this demands more research. good luck.
