Magic Focus 8-sensor auto digital convergence saves configuration efforts
Editorial Reviews:
Product Description The SWX Series is a superb blend of contemporary styling, unequalled performance and user convenience. By coordinating the design of all key components from source to screen, Hitachi delivers an ultra-bright, razor-sharp rendition of both high-definition and conventional content. The AV NET user interface provides on-screen "heads-up" control and operation of external system components such as DVD players, VCRs and AV receivers. A DVI digital input accommodates newer-generation set-top boxes.
Amazon.com Product Description The SWX series 57SWX20B offers a superb blend of unequalled performance, user convenience, and contemporary styling. By coordinating the design of all key components from source to screen, Hitachi delivers ultrabright, razor-sharp rendering of both high-definition and conventional programming. The set's AV NET user interface provides onscreen control and operation of external system components, such as DVD players, VCRs, and audio-video receivers. And a DVI digital input even accommodates newer-generation digital high-definition set-top boxes (a set-top box or separate HDTV tuner is required to enjoy full HD programming).
The set's 16:9 aspect ratio is perfect for cinematic widescreen viewing, and its hybrid wide-neck CRT and Super Contrast lens system are optimized for HDTV-level programming. Conventional TV and video sources will look better, too, with Hitachi's Enhanced VirtualHD digital video processing, which upgrades conventional signals to near-HD quality. An antireflective screen shield ensures smooth, even light distribution and wide viewing angles. Magic Focus convergence automatically aligns the picture for optimal performance at the touch of a button, and 3:2 correction/26-point motion-adaptive interpolation ensures smooth, seamless images.

Great Home TheaterJuly 4, 2003 8 out of 10 found this review helpful
I purchased my Hitachi after doing several comparisons. The fact that Hitachi makes their own components is a huge reason their TVs are the best. They have control over the entire process of building the sets. DVDs are simply fantastic. My DVD/Home Theater system is not a progressive scan system yet I would challenge anyone to notice the difference. Cable is acceptable and usually depends on the signal quality which determins how good the picture is for analog. VHS tapes are okay but I can hardly wait til I can go DVD recording and dump my VCR( after I transfer my tapes to DVDs). Sound is also VERY good. All in all I'm extremely pleased with the set.

It was between this one and the Sony V600 model. Lucky for us we were able to compare them side by side at a local store and Hitachi was clearly the winner. Every type of signal was compared and the only signal that looked better on the Sony was the air antenna. When we received it, the picture did not seem as good as it did on the showroom floor, but after reading the manual and making some adjustments the picture was terrific, even on analog cable!
