The Hitachi P50S601 50-Inch Full HD1080 Plasma HDTV 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.

As a 1080i HDTV, the Hitachi P50S601 50-Inch Full HD1080 Plasma HDTV 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.

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.

The Hitachi P50S601 50-Inch Full HD1080 Plasma HDTV 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.

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.
