1 HDMI input is a joke what on earth were they thinking especially considering the lack of an internal tuner. Price is very high also you could by the class leading Pioneer Kuro 50" 508XD Plasma + a free Sat box and still have over £350 left.

I must admit I wouldn't touch another Hitachi product after all the problems I had last year with one of their LCD TV's and Hitachi's terrible customer care attitude.

most hitachi products are inferior or lack class to their competitors, its obvious this tv is for the style over Value for money ala Macbook Air, However if you have a hdmi Reciever and want something uber slim for the wall (My 56" sharp LCD was one of the thinest a year ago at 89mm), It appears this hitachi has the picture quality to go with it.

Looks like a stunning piece of design and engineering from what I have seen and read. The price is high but not unreasonable for what is arguable the most cutting edge display on the market.

I just bought one of these from RicherSounds for £499 inc VAT. Pretty good price considering spec. It is more like a monitor than a TV - no Freeview, Tuner etc. but will be a perfect match for my V+ box. One HDMI is an issue but a switchbox will sort that. Also, it does have speakers unlike some reviews mention on the net.

I have to say that I still retain a healthy scepticism about the real importance of the present ‘skinny TV' infatuation - especially when that infatuation leads to the practical problems (no tuner, hardly any connections) that will have to be faced by a current UT42MX70 buyer. But so sublime is this Hitachi's design and, best of all, so impressive are its pictures that I have to admit that for once it's managed to batter my innate cynicism into a bloody, defeated pulp.
