CNET Editors' take - Hitachi UT32V502
Hide

Reviewed by CNET staff
Review date: 12/3/08

Although CNET did not review the 32-inch Hitachi UT32V502, we did review the 37-inch Hitachi UT37X902. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Hitachi flat-panel LCD monitors are identical but for screen size and native resolution, so we expect the picture quality of the 37-inch model to provide a good indication of how the 32-incher will perform.

The Hitachi UT37X902 has a 1080p resolution and the Hitachi UT32V502 has a 1,366x768 resolution (known as 720p), but if our past reviews are any indication, it's quite difficult for anybody to tell the difference at this screen size. Furthermore, while the Hitachi UT32V502 doesn't have dejudder processing, the performance of the two should be very similar otherwise.

For more information, check out the full review of the Hitachi UT37X902.

Product brief - Hitachi UT32V502
Hide

Description: The Hitachi UT32V502 is a 32-inch, LCD television. Compared to other LCD TVs on the market, it is relatively expensive at around $1,160. This unit is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.

Pros: This unit can display images that are sharper and more realistic than analog television when hooked up to a high definition signal. The 3:2 pulldown feature of this set reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: An LCD TV, suited for home entertainment. Also, a wide aspect display such as this one is well suited for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.

Value: Overall, this TV's features are as expected for this price. However, LCD TVs with similar viewable size have an average cost of about $840.

Suggestions: (1) For assistance in shopping for a new HDTV, review CNET editors' Ultimate HDTV Buying Guide . (2) If donating or repurposing your old TV is not a viable option, CNET encourages households to recycle their electronics.
