What you need to know
Reviewed on: 22 January 2007
Tags: hitachi, high definition, frequency, angle
We like:
Wide viewing angle; motorised stand; advanced picture settings; plenty of inputs; generally good picture quality
We don't like:
Cumbersome design; average Freeview performance; some background instability in video
You might also need:
Two HDMI cables; component cables; RGB Scart; USB storage device; SD memory card
CNET UK judgement:
Hitachi's 32LD9700 is packed with advanced features and technology, including the widest viewing angles on the market. But if you don't need to watch TV at acute angles, there are models available with better image quality when you're watching head-on
