Plasma technology brings a long-awaited feature to television viewing: a thin, flat screen display. Only inches deep, Hitachi's Plasma Television display can be placed on a table, shelf or the wall, and provide a sharp, vivid picture. The external AV Control Center connects to the monitor by a single interface cable, allowing it to be placed out of sight, even behind closed doors. A distinct and compelling picture advantage of Hitachi's Virtual HD 1080p processor is that it creates a sharp and clear picture from any conventional picture source.
