Are Hitachi Projection Televisions Worth Your Money?

By Emad Fuad

Although you could easily find a Hitachi Projection Television, this manufacturer is now switching its emphasis to the front projection television models of the type that incorporate digital light processing as the method for projecting the picture. Hitachi is the leader among those companies that are moving towards thinner televisions to live up to the expectations of the public.

Projection television sets are available in rear and front projection versions. They remain a sensible purchase for people who might be looking for big screen, high definition televisions as these models continue to be less expensive than the flat screen LCD televisions, notwithstanding the fact that the latter have decreased in cost during the last few years. The Hitachi Projection Television is sold as a home theater system and uses digital light processing for the method by which the image is sent to the screen.

Nearly all televisions currently being sold offer digital processing because signals are currently changing over from analog to digital. Digital processing is more efficient and is able to give you a higher quality picture. If you now use cable or satellite television, you might have already experienced the improvement in television reception offered by digital signals.

When you decide to purchase the Hitachi Projection Television, you may then choose from many dimensions that offer digital light processing technology. DLP technology allows a small picture which is being transmitted through the video signal to be expanded to the dimensions of the projection surface. Hitachi makes many sizes of a front projection television, designated by their screen sizes which can range between 52 and 72 inches. Obviously, the cost of each model increases or decreases with the size of the screen.

Digital light processing televisions offer high quality projections and are usually thought to be a technological advancement compared to the LCD projection. The reason why people prefer the LCD televisions is LCD units are flat. While the Hitachi projection television is still too bulky to hang on a wall, it is significantly slimmer than less recent big screen televisions. Also, it is much less expensive than any flat screen, LCD television in the same size. As normally consumers will not have a television attached to a wall -as LCD flat screens are designed to do - it makes no difference to most consumers whether the television is particularly slender, only that it delivers exceptional picture and sound.

While there remain a few Hitachi rear projection televisions in stores that use CRT technology that creates a heavier machine, the primary focus of the Hitachi Projection Television collection is centered on front projection. Hitachi is additionally among the important manufacturers who are experimenting with 3D television technology which will easily adapt to front projection digital technology and might be offered to consumers in a year or two. - 30542
