Hitachi LCD technology delivers a truly superior HDTV experience. Sleek in appearance with its slim bottom speaker design, it seamlessly integrates into any home theatre environment. The VirtualHD Digital Video Processor achieves unrivaled purity in film processing, recreating the smooth film-like curves of the original picture. Super- IPS technology produces a wider viewing angle and faster response times to improve the overall cinematic experience. An intelligent blend of refined aesthetics and original technologies make the 37HDL52 an ideal home theater solution.

Features:

  • VirtualHD Video Processor:
    When content from film is sent to your home it requires processing that can cause picture noise or distortion. VirtualHD technology reduces this noise to a minimum, recreating the smooth curves and high fidelity image of the original film source.
  • Slim Bottom Speaker Design:
    Sleek bottom speaker design achieves a slim aesthetic.

  • 1366 x 768 Resolution:
    Experience true cinema with high definition resolution.
  • Super In-Plane Switching (S-IPS):
    Superior viewing angles, faster response times and exceptional color purity are the result of this Hitachi original technology.

  • HDTV and NTSC Tuners:
    Built in tuners for digital and analog broadcast channels.

  • Anti-Reflective Screen:
    Effectively absorbs ambient room light, reducing reflections compared to conventional screen designs. This dramatic performance boost results in richer blacks, vibrant color and increased detail in shadows and highlights.
  • Picture Memory by Input:
    Enables individual settings to be saved for different inputs and allows
    greater connectivity.
  • DVI-HDTV Digital Video Input:
    This digital video input provides compatibility with DVI-HDTV enabled HDTV Tuners and DVD players.
  • Component Video Inputs (x2):
    These connections provide high resolution inputs for cable tuners, DVD players and game machines.
  • 6 Aspect Modes:
    An exclusive technique of linear expansion is employed to fill the widescreen with conventional programming and to minimize perceptible distortion.
  • Powered Swivel Table Top Stand:
    Use your remote control to swivel the TV to the best viewing angle.

    Best LCD on the market

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 8, 2006 | 18 out of 18 found this Hitachi 37HDL52 review helpful

    Pros: Fast response time, wide viewing angle, solid black levels

    Cons: LCD is just never plasma

    I always wanted to get a plasma TV for my bedroom. But they are just a bit too big. LCD has the right sizes but not the picture performance. I have scoped the field in the last 7 months and become frustrated with what I had seen until I came across t...his set. This is probably the best LCD in terms of technology and yet has not gained the popularity it deserves. Its Super-in-plane switching LCD technology is obviously the main reason why it has faster response time, wider viewing angles ( I can see the images parallel to TV almost as well as in front of it.) and solid black levels. What is becoming more and more annoying is that the data shown on the spec sheet of many so-called popular LCD makers such as Sharp, Samsung, Sony and LG just simply cannot be backed up by what I have seen with my pair of naked eyes. For example, most of these LCD boast a whopping 1000:1 to 4000:1 contrast ratio. In reality, it is not even close. None of these TV sets can display the subtle details in any dark objects such the textures of dark clothing and shadows of trees. All I see is this fuzzy darkness. I am an engineer. This turns me off big time. But this 37" Hitachi LCD has the best grayscale representation, by far. Hitachi should spend some money advertising to let more people become aware of its superior LCD technology performance. When they do that, they don't have to beef up on the spec sheet, all they need to do is tell people to do a side-by-side comparison. Read more Less

    Not reliable

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 17, 2007 | 1 out of 1 found this Hitachi 37HDL52 review helpful

    Pros: Picture and sound quality

    Cons: Poor reliability

    I owned this TV for almost one year and a half. I enjoy the picture and sound of this TV very much. But its reliability is a headache and I am afraid it will stop working someday soon. Towards the end of the first year of my ownership, this TV began... to lockup intermittently. I called Hitachi, which let me call a local service company. A technian replaced three boards on 12/27/06. It sort of worked for a while. About two month later, it began to show a roughly two-inch colorbar on the right of the screen intermittently. I can tolerate that because my 5-year-old son found he can make the bar disappear by pressing "POP" key on the remote. But recently it begins to show another problem, which is terrible. The majority area of the bottom half of the screen sometimes goes black and it is not easy to make it disappear! Read more Less
