Te koop aangeboden: een hitachi 42pd7200 plasma televisie. Deze 42-inch tv is hd ready en beschikt over diverse aansluitingen, waaronder hdmi en scart. Ideaal voor wie op zoek is naar een betaalbare t
Are you looking for a capable vintage plasma rather than a modern, efficient TV? At €50, this is a strong bargain: it sits below the €58 25th-percentile mark from 129 comparable listings, versus a €101 median and €227 75th percentile. Assuming it powers up and the panel is healthy, the price leaves plenty of room for its age and bulk.
This model was well regarded for its natural, lively picture, strong contrast, and unusually useful connectivity, including HDMI, DVI, component, and SCART inputs. Its motorised stand is a nice bonus, too. The 42-inch ALIS panel is genuinely period-interesting and can make a satisfying retro or secondary display. Check closely for panel faults, uneven brightness, burn-in, remote and stand inclusion, and remember that it is heavy and power-hungry; still, at €50, those are sensible checks rather than reasons to walk away.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Hitachi is a Japanese electronics giant founded in 1910 by engineer Namiya Iwafune, who began the company as a small workshop producing electric motors. Over the decades, Hitachi grew into a diversified conglomerate whose industrial and component expertise laid the groundwork for its later entry into consumer audio and video. By the 1970s, the company had established itself as a serious player in the home electronics market, leveraging its engineering heritage to build a reputation for robust, well‑engineered products.
In the hi‑fi and AV space, Hitachi is best known for integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, cassette decks, and later CD players and DVD‑based equipment. The brand also produced televisions, VHS and DVD camcorders, and a small range of portable audio devices such as MP3 players. Its audio components often carried the “Lo‑D” designation, signalling low‑distortion circuitry and a focus on clean, transparent sound. Hitachi’s speakers from the 1970s and 1980s, in particular, are still praised by enthusiasts for their balanced, engaging presentation.
Today, Hitachi is regarded less as a dedicated high‑end marque and more as a respected mid‑tier brand with a strong vintage following. Its classic separates and cassette decks are sought after by collectors and second‑hand buyers who value their build quality and straightforward, musical performance. While Hitachi no longer dominates the hi‑fi mainstream, its legacy remains visible in the continued interest in its older components and in the broader influence of Japanese engineering on modern audio design.
