We haven't reviewed any Hitachi 4k LED TV recently so it is high time to take a closer look at one. Today we are focusing our attention at a very adequate big screen 58-inch television - the Hitachi 58HK6100U. We will take a look at its main specification, product features and we will give our honest consumer opinion about it and if it is worth buying.

The 58HK6100U not only delivers good picture on a big screen but is also a Smart TV so watching YouTube or Netflix directly on this Hitachi TV is easy (and thanks to the built-in wireless connection of course).

SD content is frankly awful and it is painful to watch. I suspect this is because of the screen size (it was noticeably worse on the Panasonic to watch SD) which shows every blemish with the footage and is a bit smeary with colour and sharpness. I have tried playing around with the settings but clearly this Vestel set has a budget image processor and it shows. Watching any documnetary that contains pre war footage is really tiring as the smeary image gets on your nerves. DVD playback is similarly variable but watchable for not to motion heavy films.
Do i regret buying this tv? On balance no because I actually only watch a few hours a week and it tends to be off the BBC iPlayer anyway or BBC 4 HD. If I was watching for a few hours a day, I would be disappointed I think and would bitterly regret not paying £50 more for a Hisense which is a better compromise btweek price and performance.
This is an antry level model in terms of quality of picture although the apps work fine, set up was easy and sound quality is pretty fair. It is a nice looking large set but I wish I wasn't so mean and had bought a Sony in some ways (not in terms of price though)
After 21 months of ownership, it's had strange problems. Disconnecting from my wifi and then not allowing access to the network menu. There is no admin user. How can it just decide I'm not allowed access, within a couple of months of the warranty running out. After a month of occasional curiousity it's started to allow it again.
I'm just lucky I use netflix and facebook through a PC. Any talk of longevity or android or even smart capabilities is a bit laughable. I'd link my phone to it, only that stopped working too. It tries to connect to it, but never manages. It used to. If you want a 58" screen for up to two years and this is the cheapest one, then I guess it makes sense.
so dont waste your money buying these second hand, they buy b grade lcd screens from lg.
