toshiba vs hitachi hd tv

[kfalls]

I have the new Hitachi 57S715 and from all indications it's a very good value. I purchased mine from HH Gregg for $1890. I took a class in Video Calibration and this TV has all the adjustments available to the user you'll need to perform a professional calibration.

I calibratred one of my inputs this evening, setting up the basic five users controls as well as the color decoder and it makes an extreme difference. I viewed the results by watching James Bond "Never Say Die" and it was very crisp, clean, well-balanced and detailed.

I had looked for last year's 57S700 and 57T600, but both models were unavailable, so I went with the new 715 series. I had purchased a Mitsubishi 55" model, but didn't like their aspects, looked too wierd. I like the aspects of the Hitachi much better, more realistic. Hitachi also has an integrated HDTV/NTSC tuner so it's much easier to setup and operate. The only thing I didn't like was they replaced the DVI and firewire ports with an HDMI interface. I haven't tried it yet, but feel I'm losing options by the limitation of one high-end interface (not meaning to exclude component video). I haven't seen the other model you're talking about, but I see no problems going with the 57S715, it's a good value.
