When I was a kid my best friend and my neighbor both had big screen televisions. Like every other kid, I thought they were so cool. There couldn’t have been anything in the world better than having a big screen television, right? I don’t know if the same theory holds true as an adult, but one thing I do know is that I always wanted at least one projection television in my house. Recently, we decided to pick onw up.

The biggest worry was that the screen quality would not be as superior as one of the smaller screens. In the older versions of bigger screen televisions there tended to be issues with light and dark contrast and overall quality. Obviously if you are going to pay a significant amount of money for something you want to make sure it’s going to be worth every penny. Based on the available models we opted for a Hitachi Advanced CRT Projection Television. With 51”of screen and build-in surround sound speakers; this is the closest thing to a movie theater you will get in your home for a reasonable price.

The Hitachi offers several key features that provide what we were looking for in a television like this. The beautiful picture quality and superb sound would have been enough to make this purchase worthwhile though the Hitachi 51F59 actually has many other worthwhile features that make the choice we made even better. After using this product for a few months prior to reviewing I can honestly say that this Hitachi was one of the best televisions to ever come into our home. The picture is as crisp as the day we received it and the sound is just as fantastic. We couldn’t have asked for a better television.
