Manual of product 43HBT42
Editorial note
The Hitachi 43HBT42 television stands out for its exceptional picture quality thanks to its Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, providing an immersive viewing experience. Its direct LED backlighting ensures optimal brightness, even in varying lighting conditions, and its 100 Hz motion interpolation frequency guarantees a pleasing fluidity of images for watching movies and series. However, this model has some drawbacks. It lacks Smart TV features, which limits access to popular streaming apps and services. Additionally, its sound power of 16 W may not be sufficient for an immersive audio experience in large spaces. The absence of 3D compatibility and a response time of 8 ms, while reasonable, could disappoint gamers looking for optimal responsiveness. In terms of design, the Hitachi 43HBT42 features a modern black look, harmoniously fitting into various interiors. Connectivity is also a strong point with two HDMI ports and two USB 2.0 ports, although the lack of certain modern features may disappoint some users. In summary, the value for money is satisfactory, and the Hitachi 43HBT42 television is perfectly suitable for general use. However, those seeking a more immersive experience, both in terms of audio and smart features, may be better served by other models.Score details
