1366 x 768 Display Resolution - Hitachi’s 55-inch high definition display provides a state of the art large screen plasma viewing experience. High-Contrast Black Rib Structure - High-contrast black rib structure between pixels absorbs ambient light, leading to deeper blacks and a more precise image quality. High-Aperture Pixel Design - High aperture pixel design increases light output and overall smoothness of the image by narrowing the pixel barriers. Pure HDTV Color - A special phosphor and gas formulation allows Hitachi plasma to reproduce the full range of HDTV colors. 16-Bit/281 Trillion Color Capability - Hitachi’s new PictureMaster™ HD III Processor features new 16 bit processing that increases the number of steps to over 65,000 per color for the smoothest and most film-like image possible. With a capability of over 281 trillion colors, distracting artifacts are eliminated, resulting in the most vivid and realistic range of color reproduction possible. New Natural Color Anti-Reflective Glass Screen - A special coating on the screen minimizes distracting room light reflections and enhances contrast for dramatically increased picture quality. PictureMaster™ HD III Video Processor - Hitachi’s new digital video processor is an ultra-fast computer that predicts the motion of on-screen images for improved picture performance. Day & Night Picture Memory by Input with Timer - Separate Day and Night picture settings deliver superior image quality for any lighting condition. By simply pressing a button on the remote, or using the automatic timer, you can toggle between bright daytime settings and high fidelity nighttime settings for each source. Quick-Start Seamless HDTV (ATSC) and NTSC Tuner - Hitachi HDTV tuner technology brings viewers a unique blend of convenience and performance. Conventional HDTV tuners need extended start-up time to scan for channels and require switching between antenna inputs when selecting analog or digital programming. Hitachi HDTV tuner technology delivers the picture quickly with seamless access to all available channels. CableCARD™ Compatible - This digital cable ready set will allow viewing of premium programming on participating systems. Digital Cable Ready (QAM) - Some cable providers send unscrambled digital channels to the customers home, a DCR(QAM) tuner allows these channels to be viewed. 4:3 Expanded Mode for All TV Signals - An exclusive technique is employed to fill the widescreen with conventional 4:3 programming while minimizing perceptible distortion. 16:9 Standard with Zero Overscan - Hitachi’s 2006 plasma televisions process all of the picture data for the best detail reproduction, without vertical scaling. Picture-in-Picture Split Screen (with Tuner Only) - Watch one program with the built-in tuner while monitoring another using a separate cable or satellite tuner. 36-Watt 3-Way Speaker System - Separate speaker drivers for high and low frequencies reproduce clear dialogue and dynamic sound. Optical Digital Audio Output - Many digital TV programs have up to 5.1 channels of discrete audio, this output allows you to connect to your home theater system for surround sound when available. Multiple Screen Savers - If you decide to use your new plasma as a computer display, this feature will shift the image periodically. Discrete IR Codes - Many custom home theaters use programmable remote controls. This feature allows you to program your custom remote control to select individual inputs and settings.

LCD or Plasma Television? The Inside Scoop on these Two Innovative Technologies Flat screen televisions are everywhere! And it’s easy to see why. Plasma and LCD displays are elegant, save space and boast gorgeous images that are rich in color and texture. However, if you are thinking of consigning your CRT television set to backup status and hopping aboard the flat-panel television bandwagon, you have a major choice to make between LCD and plasma. Each technology has its advantages and drawbacks, and this article explores these factors.

HDTV HDTV (High Definition) television monitors reveal either 720 progressive (720p), or a minimum of 1080 interlaced lines, known as 1080i. An HDTV will show 540 lines at a time. These resolutions create extraordinarily sharp, lifelike images as well as the truest and most vivid colors ever seen on a television screen.

EDTV EDTV stands for Enhanced Definition Television. EDTV monitors display at least 480 progressive lines (480p). Because EDTV shows more lines simultaneously than SDTV, its pictures are sharper, richer and more realistic.

SDTV Standard Definition TV is what’s rapidly becoming old-fashioned television. Although SDTV offers a decent picture we’ve grown accustomed to, it features up to 480 interlaced lines (480i), but can show only 240 of them at any given time. Although SDTV produces a sharp picture and good color, its performance is dramatically inferior to HDTV or EDTV. Need cables for your new Plasma, LCD or DLP TV?
