3 years and 6 months is not enough from a new TV – Had it 3 years and 6 months, now has 'burnt out' , no picture. 6 months out of warranty. Has always been slow and sluggish, remote is basic, speaker dreadful and needed sound bar. Spent most of its time " Retrieving Data' and literally took minutes to connect to the station when changing channels. NOt happy. Wont be buying another Hitachi. Show details

reset. Make sure you turn it off fully from time to time or else you will be stuck. Recently having issues with what I suspect are the capacitors squealing at the back of the TV. Since Harvey Norman/JB HI FI no longer stock this brand they don't provide warranty support and was told to go directly to Hitachi. Let's see how they will respond with my complaint.

Great for the Price – Had it for 6 months with no issues. I've found it a great entry level 4k QLED TV. Recommend external audio though as the sound is pretty tinny but TV audio these days seems like an afterthought Show details
