Hitachi P50S601 50-Inch Full HD1080 Plasma HDTV

The Hitachi P50S601 is a 50-inch plasma HDTV that offers 1080i resolution and Hitachi's ClearWindow technology for an enhanced picture quality that will dazzle your eyes.

Outstanding Picture Quality
As a 1080i HDTV, the P50S601 provides a 1920 x 1080 resolution that is razor sharp with more than two million pixels. Picture quality is further enhanced, thanks to ClearWindow technology that reduces the visibility of a grid structure and maximizes brightness and clarity.

Timed swtiching allows picture settings to automatically adjust for changing ambient light conditions.

With the PictureMaster HD IV processor, all video inputs are scaled up to match the full 1080i resolution of the unit to ensure an optimized picture no matter the source. For a better picture, the processor also performs noise reduction and other picture enhancements, such as dynamic contrast and histogram processing, automatic 3:2 film enhancement, and the capability for 16-bit color. Users can select between four HD and six SD aspect modes, and three preset color temperatures.

Well Connected
The P50S601 has three HDMI SimplayHD inputs (two rear, one front), the highest quality connection available that has both high definition video and audio in one cable. It also has two component video inputs, one S-Video input, four A/V inputs, and one RF/Antenna input. Outputs include one AV monitor output (fixed audio), one S-Video monitor output, and one optical digital audio output. You can connect the optical digital audio output with your home theater system to obtain surround sound when the built-in 20-watt speaker system isn't quite enough. The TV speaker can then be used as a center speaker.

The HDTV has built-in ATSC/NTSC tuners, both of which are combined into one tuning memory for seamless selection of channels, regardless of format. The unit is also QAM-digital-cable compatible.

Day and Night Differences
The P50S601 allows for three custom settings that match the picture settings with accompanying ambient light conditions so that you get the optimal picture and contrast settings no matter the hour. Additionally, the anti-reflective screen has a unique black stripe screen filter that ensures a quality picture by blocking ambient room light for added brightness and deeper blacks. The television also features multiple screen saver and power saving modes for efficiency when not in use. A power swivel stand is included that rotates the screen up to 30 degrees in either direction, so an optimal viewing experience is available for every seat in the room.

The P50S601 is backed by a 1-year parts and labor warranty.
