If you are thinking of renovating your old television, but you do not have a very high budget to acquire a high-end model. Do not worry, the Hitachi brand offers us a fairly complete equipment for the mid-range that stands out for including essential features for a cheaper value. We talk about the Hitachi HAK5751 .<\/p>\n

Perhaps the name of the firm does not generate much confidence, however, you should know that it has been in Spain for a long time and so far they have produced good televisions, especially for the most basic range.\u00a0In this article we will talk in depth about its main benefits\u00a0, likewise, we will look for its negative points to also mention them.<\/p>\n

Design<\/h2>\n

Simple design that does not stand out too much, however, it has interesting details in its elaboration<\/p>\n

As is usually normal, the design of these products does not usually stand out too much, in fact, they\u00a0usually maintain a similar line in their aesthetics\u00a0.\u00a0In any case, we are going to find some aspects that may help you show a better appearance.\u00a0For starters, we’re talking about a 55-inch TV that’s the ideal size to fit.<\/p>\n

The most striking thing is found on the front where thin bezels have been integrated that accompany the screen quite well.\u00a0With this we achieve greater elegance regardless of the environment of the room or room where it is placed.\u00a0As if that were not enough, they\u00a0are essential to get more out of the size of the screen\u00a0and watch our content.<\/p>\n

If we turn the television over, we find the poorest at the design level, since the rear part has a not so clean elaboration that presents a greater thickness at certain points.\u00a0Which takes away his presence when looking at him from the sides\u00a0.\u00a0Another point to consider is that the building materials used feel slightly weak.<\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

Good connectivity that starts with the four\u00a0added\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0that are essential for connecting and transmitting the video and audio signal from external devices.\u00a0For its part, the two\u00a0USB 2.0\u00a0allows you to play content or if you prefer you can record it directly from the TV with the PVR function.\u00a0There is also a\u00a0D-sub\u00a0port\u00a0for connecting computers or other peripherals.\u00a0An\u00a0AV component\u00a0for connecting video players.<\/p>\n

It also has the typical audio output and an antenna (RF) that will be compatible with a large number of tuners, including\u00a0DVB-T2\u00a0.\u00a0Let’s move on to wireless where we are also going to enjoy great benefits.\u00a0First, there is a\u00a0Wi-Fi\u00a0connection\u00a0that is classic for this range that allows us to use the internet from a distance.\u00a0The\u00a0Bluetooth\u00a0can connect different devices without using cables.\u00a0And\u00a0DLNA\u00a0for smartphones.<\/p>\n

Image quality and features<\/h2>\n

We come to one of the most important sections of any television.\u00a0In the case of the\u00a0Hitachi 55HAK5751\u00a0we\u00a0are\u00a0going to enjoy an acceptable image that begins by including a 4K resolution that, as is well known, is four times more powerful than that delivered in Full HD, therefore,\u00a0the content we see must present more precise details\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the only negative detail we see is that a\u00a0Direct LED\u00a0panel is included\u00a0which is very common in this category, however,\u00a0its backlighting is not that powerful\u00a0and\u00a0in dark or bright environments the image quality can be slightly lost\u00a0.\u00a0So, you should look for a good placement where neither of these two points affects so much.<\/p>\n

Taking this into account, no more conflicts should be generated regarding lighting\u00a0.\u00a0Something that we also like is that some enhancement technologies are implemented that will be of great help for a better visual experience.\u00a0One of them is\u00a0Wide Color Gamut\u00a0that allows us to enjoy more vivid and intense colors that will give realism to each scene.<\/p>\n

To improve the contrast, two high-level functions are integrated such as\u00a0Micro Dimming\u00a0and\u00a0Ultra Contrast\u00a0that will give greater sharpness.\u00a0In short we are going to enjoy deeper blacks.\u00a0In case the content we see is not in 4K, the\u00a0UHD Upscaler\u00a0technology\u00a0will try to increase the quality to have a clearer view.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

It was to be expected that the sound was not a big deal, and in our opinion it could be considered as the weakest point.\u00a0In this case, there are two speakers that offer a total power of 20W\u00a0, something that in certain cases is considered acceptable, however, for more demanding content it is not enough and certain conflicts are generated.<\/p>\n

It is true that there are some enhancement technologies that we must be honest if they provide a slight help.\u00a0Here we have\u00a0Dolby Audio\u00a0,\u00a0DTS HD\u00a0and\u00a0Sound Master Plus\u00a0that try to give us a more immersive and clean experience.\u00a0However, to get a sound that is really worth it we must purchase an external sound bar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Among the highlights of the\u00a0Hitachi 55HAK5751\u00a0we find that\u00a0Android 9.0 Pie\u00a0offers\u00a0one of the most complete systems today.\u00a0In the first place, its navigation is very intuitive and any user can use it, likewise, it has a good optimization that feels fluid,\u00a0although sometimes due to the processor we can notice some delays\u00a0.<\/p>\n

But what really stands out about this platform is that it includes the Play Store that offers us the most extensive catalog of applications where we will find great options such as\u00a0Netflix\u00a0,\u00a0YouTube\u00a0,\u00a0Prime Video\u00a0,\u00a0DAZN\u00a0and\u00a0Disney +\u00a0.\u00a0As if that were not enough, this also gives us the opportunity to download games and music, so we will have an extensive entertainment section.<\/p>\n

To have better control of the TV, we have\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0that allows us to perform some actions using our voice.\u00a0Another benefit that we love is that we also have\u00a0Chromecast\u00a0that gives us the ability to stream movies, videos, music and images from the smartphone.\u00a0Lastly, it also includes\u00a0HDR10\u00a0,\u00a0HLG,\u00a0and\u00a0Dolby Vision\u00a0.<\/p>\n
