Hitachi 42" 1080i plasma HDTV

P42H401 (Black)

Hitachi combines the four leading Plasma High Definition TV technologies in the P42H401. The 1080i HD display provides the sharpest image possible. Second, the PictureMaster&trade HD IV video processor optimizes all incoming source material. Third, get smoother image reproduction with Hitachi's ClearWindow&trade plasma technology. Finally, the Quick Start Seamless ATSC/NTSC/QAM Tuner combines digital and analog channels into one tuning memory for seamless channel access.

At 1.1 Million Pixels, This Is Definitely HD

Your old TV's hand-me-downs won't fit this upgrade. The P42H401's HD 1080 has a higher overall panel resolution than 720p televisions (50" screen size has a 32% increase). At 1080 lines of resolution, the P42H401 offers a line-for-line vertical match for your incoming 1080i TV signal. Oh, and by the way, the P42H401 also has 1280 x 1080i total panel resolution.

A View Through A ClearWindow&trade

There's no longer any need to fear feeling like the action wasn't big enough, nor each sceen life-like enough while watching your favorite feature or show because of standard video image quality. The P42H401 includes Hitachi's ClearWindow&trade Plasma Technology, providing cleaner and smoother image reproduction, higher brightness and reduced visible grid structure on-screen.

The P42H401 Welcomes Your Inputs

Thanks to its PictureMaster&trade HD IV digital video processor, you have the ability to integrate the P42H401 into your existing video system regardless of the type of input or resolution format you are receiving. The PictureMaster processor matches its Full HD1080 panel by upgrading all incoming signals, thus optimizing the picture performance of that source material. In addition, the P42H401's 2 component video inputs accommodate a broad range of high-end analog input sources, including cable and satellite receivers, DVD players, VCRs and video games. The PictureMaster also includes MPEG noise reduction, dynamic contrast, dynamic histogram processing, automatic 3:2 film enhancement, four HD aspect modes, and six SD aspect modes.

Let Us Hear You Say "Connected"

The 3 HDMI SimplayHD&trade (HDMI-CEC) 1080p compatible inputs included in the P42H401 give it the highest quality connection and connectability with home A/V devices. Multiple high-end digital interfaces that are 1080p compatible and include high definition video and audio in a single cable connection mean that this plasma TV connects with ease to the rest of your system, and will leave you basking in the glory of oh-so-many connections.

How Many Colors?! How Many Sizes?!

The P42H401 doesn't like to brag about the ridiculously gigantic plethora of colors it offers, and, lucky for it, with a 16 bit, 281 trillion color capacity, it doesn't have to say anything. 281 trillion colors? Impossible, you say? Not so! The P42H401's sixteen bit processing increases the number of steps to over 65,000 per color for the smoothest and most film-like image possible, ultimately resulting in that gargantuan color capacity. And to maximize the spectacle of all those colors across the screen, the P42H401 provides a wide range of aspect modes so that you can expand the image to the widescreen format while minimizing visual distortion and eliminating the black bars that may be visible on the top or bottom, or even on the sides, of the screen.
