This plasma has been in the family since 2003, it originally cost £4500!! It has been in my possession for the last 4 years and has been doing a great job in the bedroom.

The model is Hitachi 42 PD4200.

As may be clear from the price, it is not perfect. It is displaying numerous dark vertical lines in two areas. See pics (ignore date stamp):






These aren't dead pixels, as sometimes they disappear altogether. And when they are present, you forget about them after a while.

The TV has a great picture, very sharp and I haven't noticed any motion blur when watching external sources.

A major giveaway to it's age is the fact that it has a seperate 'media/control box'. Basically you connect the screen to this and all of your cables go to the box.

Here's an idea of the size of the screen (case) and media box when next to a 32" LCD.



Comes with all instructions and manuals, original receipt, remote and cables. One manual even has wiring schematics if you fancy trying to fix it. I would leave it as it is TBH. Well I have done, the lines have been coming and going for around 2 years now and it still sees a lot of movie and game action without any bother.

No speakers included. I was running this through an amp.

Gotta be worth £100. Collection from DH5 preferred. Can deliver within reason and cash is king!

Arnt those black lines just the reflection of your blinds on the window? Ha that's all I can see

Vertical lines.

Look at the mirror on the bike in the first pic mate.

In the way. £50 takes it.

Thats cheap!

If the pug goes through mot easy, I'll have it man. I'll con 25 shillings from her indoors for halfers.
Local FTW.

First things first. We'll see what that knocking is! lol

Local and delivered to your door, can't say fairer than that.

I want it, but how noticeable are those lines when watching? (be honest, I'm not that picky. I just want to know what I'm buying)

Like i said, i forget about them tbh, well I did. It's not in use anymore.

On darker backgrounds they are as good as non-existant, lighter stuff makes them more obvious. Due to how small they are in relation to the screen it's a non-issue really though. Especially at a giveaway price.

If Mr Ben doesn't have it then yeah I'll have it off you then

Cool mate. Will let you know the craic.
