Reel-ly Cool: Hitachi's Reel60&trade

As long as the television has been bringing your favorite movies from the big screen into your home there has been a discrepancy between motion of the moving image on film and the way that that same image is replayed on the television. With the introduction of the P50V701 Ultravision&trade Plasma HDTV, and the revolutionary film processing system known as Reel60&trade, Hitachi breaks through the chains of 50 years of a film-to-TV mismatch, letting you experience a true in-home theater experience for the first time. How does Reel60 work? Well, movies provide the illusion of motion by showing a series of still images over time (at a rate of 24 frames-per-second, in fact). However, this rate does not match that used by television systems, which show 60 frames-per-second. Reel60 replaces the existing conversion system, known as "3:2 pulldown correction", which can often result in a jerky image by repeating images, by creating interpolated frames based on the original film images, thus smoothing out the movement and correctly matching the original motion.

Child's Play You Say? Not At Two Million Pixels

Clarity. Quality. Sharpness. It's all in the details, and this high definition plasma TV is no exception. The P50V701 offers a mind-bogglingly clear, high-quality, and sharp image with the inclusion of Full HD1080 resolution. And there is no shortage of detail here. Close-ups are closer and panoramic shots more vast and pristine in your favorite blockbuster with the P50V701's 2.07 million individual picture elements creating a superbly intricate color video mosaic.

A ClearWindow&trade Into The Ultimate Video Experience

Tired of thinking that you are seeing every line and emotion on your favorite actor's face, only to realize that what you're really seeing is a grainy picture? Fret no longer! The P50V701 includes Hitachi's ClearWindow&trade Plasma Technology, providing cleaner and smoother image reproduction, higher brightness, and reduced visible grid structure on-screen.

Just Can't Say 'No' To Inputs

Thanks to its PictureMaster&trade HD IV digital video processor, you have the ability to integrate the P50V701 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 P50V701's two 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.

Vroom, Vroom!

The three HDMI SimplayHD&trade (HDMI-CEC) 1080p compatible inputs included in the P50V701 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 will fit right in with the rest of your system, and given the rest of its impressive list of features, will soon be the leader of the pack.

281 Trillion Colors . . . Yeah, They're In There

The P50V701 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 P50V701'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 P50V701 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

It's ALIVE!

Suggesting a distant family link to the table fan, the P50V701sports a motorized power swivel stand that rotates the screen up to 30 degrees to the left or right, optimizing the home entertainment experience. Unfortunately, unlike with the table fan, the closest you'll come to cooling off in the summer with the P50V701 is by staying in and watching a holiday flick on fifty inches of plasma bliss.
