    Hitachi 42hdt52a

    I am going to look at a hitachi plasma 1080p 42hdt52a. The unit is dead.
    I was wondering what company made this model. I have a couple of hitachi
    mosfet drive plasmas( a bit older ) and they work ok. I am not impressed with the power supplies and mostly had buffer issues with the 720p units. These looked alot like panasonic inside.

    Any input on these would be great. Thanks!

      One solid clue is the plasma panel and support cards. Those usually show the manufacturer. And of course, pictures help.

          I would normally run over the guys house a buy the tv, but I am getting more picky as prices drop. I have not seen this tv yet and its a bit different than the hitachi (2007) I have.

          If the price is right I will just grab it anyway (1080p).

          Thanks for the info Plainbill. I will research it.

                  Worse. Actual panel resolution is 1000 x 1000.

                      What does that mean for picture quality?

                          Well, it's quite non-standard now. Back when the panel was built it was a big improvement. Right now my wife swears by the plasma set in her office, that's a 42" 1024 X 768.

                              The spec on this screen is 1024x1024 according to the service manual. I am not sure how a typical 720p or 1080 plasma is affected by screen resolution. I never had a reason to understand video until now.

                              My 2003 pioneer is a 1080i. I have no idea what the panel resolution is. It has the best picture I have ever seen.

                                  The TV was stuck on the logo and I couldn't access the update menu.
                                  I couldn't find the firmware for the Hitachi 32HAE2351 and updated it with the Toshiba 32WA2063DG - Vestel 17MB171 firmware.
                                  The image result was good, but the image is inverted.
                                  The image rotation/mirror function doesn't exist in the Menu Server. I can't correct the image.
                                  Do you have the firmware for the Hitachi 32HAE2351 - Vestel 17MB171 motherboard or a solution to rotate the image in...

                                  TV Model: Hitachi 40HYC42
                                  Power Supply: 17IPS71
                                  MainBoard: 17MB95M
                                  Panel: VES400UNDS-2D-NO3

                                  When the set came in it was dead. Fuse was open primary side and the power mosfet was shorted. So I ordered a new power supply. Now it turns on, only displays "Hitachi" and then power off red and blue led flashing.

                                  I had to modify the 0ohm resistors in the led backlight of the new PS like the original power supply.
                                  Is there any variants on 17IPS71 power supply's?

                                  Code:
                                  12:24:04.595
                                  ...

                                  Help finding the correct model of a T-Con board on my Hitachi TV
                                  by sotodefonk
                                  Hi, I have a Hitachi tv model L47V651, there is no image, but sound and backlights turn on, so I believe the issue is the tcon board.

                                  I opened the tv to access the board and took the shared pictures of the T-Con board.

                                  I saw a video from shopjimmy on how to detect the model number on tcon boards, but this doesn't have a sticker like how that video showed all boards.

                                  I searched the P/N number and got results with the same marking name and P/N my board has but they list other specific tv models like Vizio and Philips brand but not Hitachi.

                                  Inspecting...
