I have a chance to purchase this TV in the next week via an employee discount - for about $1500. This is Hitachi's new 43" RPTV in 16:9 format. Does anybody have any comments on this TV? Or the previous year's Hitachi's?? The model in the store has a mediocre picture (as do all RPTV's at the same store--probably a bad cabling problem).

I saw this TV at a local Circuit City and it had a Progressive Scan DVD player connected to it and the picture looked great.

$1500 sounds like a pretty good price for that set. I have the 4:3 version of that set (the 43FDX01B), and I've been satisfied with it. I've only seen upconverted video on the 16:9 set on display at my local Circuit City, but it was comparable to the 4:3 in terms of image quality.
