Hitachi was founded in 1910, as started life as an electrical repair shop. The name Hitachi literally means sunrise, reflecting the founding philosophy of contributing to people and society through technology. Namihei Odaira used the two Chinese characters hi, meaning "sun" and tachi, meaning "rise" to form the mark by superimposing one character on the other and enclosing them in a circle. Hitachi had always established themselves as a value-priced brand, but competition from South Korea have forced a re-think.

Hitachi 32PD3000E Plasma Television

We have owned a 14 inch Hitachi television which we inherited from my Grandfather for over 15 years now. It's a colour telelvision which must be over 30 years old. But it still has a great picture, reliable and good sound from the built in speakers. Therefore when looking for a new plasma screen for the living room i wanted to read up on Hitachi. If their new tv's are only half as good they are worth buying. After reading the what magazine and others I liked the editor reviews of the Hitachi 32PD3000E plasma television. We have now owned it for around 17 months, and just like my Grandads old 14 inch it has been great right out of the box, it looks stylish and the picture and sound match its looks. I reccomend this brand and model to anyone.

Hitachi model - 60v715

We received shipment on our 60v715 on saturday 08/26/06. I'm quite impressed with the T.V. We have to get a HD cable receiver from Time Warner. I'm sure I'll like the T.V. even more after that.
