Hitachi L42V651 Ultravision LCD HDTV

When getting a TV, you can always say that it’s all in the details, and the Hitachi L42V651 TV is no exception. The L42V651 Ultravision LCD HDTV offers a mind-bogglingly clear, high-quality, and sharp image with the inclusion of Full HD1080 resolution.

Hitachi’s Full HD1080 feature perfectly matches the 1080i HDTV resolution standard providing a 1920 x 1080 panel resolution and is fully capable of matching the advanced, 1080p resolution standard as well.

This means that your new L42V651 can keep pace with the present HDTV technologies while also being ready for the next leap into the future. Close-ups are closer and panoramic shots more vast and pristine in your favorite blockbuster with the L42V651’s 2.07 million individual picture elements creating a superbly intricate color video mosaic.

The new L42V651 features a Hitachi pioneered LCD technology that enhances black levels, widens viewing angles and improves motion response without any nasty blurring that might occur when an LCD is run at non-native resolutions.

The 3 HDMI SimplayHD (HDMI-CEC) 1080p compatible inputs included in the L42V651 give it the highest quality connection and connectability with home A/V devices. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p.

Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components.

HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. In short, 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.

The L42V651 sports a motorized power swivel stand that rotates the screen up to 30 degrees to the left or right, optimizing the home entertainment experience.

Thanks to its PictureMaster HD IV digital video processor, you have the ability to integrate the L42V651 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 L42V651’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.
