Feature List
- Hitachi High Contrast Lens System
Advanced optics engineered to reproduce sharp detail from edge to edge and corner to corner. Refined coatings improve overall contrast performance. - Anti-Reflective High-Contrast Diffusion Screen
A special coating on the screen minimizes distracting room light reflections and enhances contrast for dramatically increased picture quality. - Ultra-Compact 3-Panel LCD Light Engine
Exclusive high definition technology improves overall detail, contrast, and color performance. - 12-Bit/68 Billion Color Capability
Hitachi?s PictureMaster HD II Processor features 12 bit processing that eliminates distracting artifacts and increases the range of color reproduction to 68 billion colors for the smoothest and most life-like image possible. - Quick Start Seamless HDTV and NTSC Tuner
Hitachi HDTV tuner technology brings viewers a unique blend of convenience and performance. Conventional HDTV tuners need extended start-up time to scan for channels and require switching between antenna inputs when selecting analog or digital programming. Hitachi HDTV tuner technology delivers the picture quickly with seamless access to all available channels. - PictureMaster? II Video Processor
Hitachi?s innovative digital video processor acts as an ultra-fast computer program that predicts the motion of objects and corrects missing picture image leading to more realistic motion sequences. - Day and Night Picture Memory by Input with Timer
Separate Day and Night Memory settings deliver superior picture quality for different lighting conditions. By simply pressing a button on the remote, or using the automatic timer, you can toggle between bright daytime settings and high fidelity nighttime settings for each source. - 4:3 Expanded Mode for All TV Signals
An exclusive technique is employed to fill the widescreen with conventional 4:3 programming while minimizing perceptible distortion. - CableCARD? Compatible
This digital cable ready set will allow viewing of premium programming on participating systems. - Digital Cable Ready (QAM)
Some cable providers send unscrambled digital channels to the customers home, a DCR(QAM) tuner allows these channels to be viewed. - HDMI? Digital Interface (x 1)
Accommodates today?s high definition home theater needs, including Blu-ray?/HD?DVD? Players and today?s new HDMI? digital cameras. - 1280 x 720p Display Resolution

Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy huge, high-definition video in your own home theater with the 55-inch Hitachi 55VS69 LCD projection HDTV. One-third slimmer and less than half the weight of a comparably-sized CRT-based projection model, this LCD set features a high output light source, advanced prism system, and a three-panel 720p LCD Light Engine with an 11-element lens system to produce an exceptionally bright, sharp picture. Improvements along the light path include special filters and polarizers that ensure brighter whites and darker blacks. Its industrial design features minimal bottom speakers to create an ultra-sleek form factor as well as a silver and black finish for a striking modern look.
You'll enjoy 480p, 720p and 1080i high-definition viewing right out of the box thanks to the built-in digital ATSC tuner, which pulls HD signals right from the airwaves. You can also connect the set to an optional receiver or cable/satellite set-top box using either the HDMI or component connections (thanks to its built-in QAM tuner for unscrambled cable HD reception). An analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD) programming. And the set's CableCARD port means the set will also receive digital cable television systems services directly from a compatible cable operator without requiring a bulky, external cable box.
The proprietary Hitachi VirtualHD 1080p video processor de-interlaces 1080i programs to provide as much detail as possible for a clear, sharp image. HitachiÕs dynamic histogram processing delivers improved contrast, color and sharpness while reducing noise to a minimum. Each video frame is processed as a digital still image in real time with an astounding 68-billion color capability to produce the best final on-screen image.
This set performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, too--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture. A 3D Y/C comb filter (4 MB) further enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt). Rounding out the features is an anti-reflective diffusion screen, multiple color temperatures, black enhancement, three HD aspect modes, six SD aspect modes, and split screen/picture-in-picture capability.
A separate Day and Night Memory for each input ensures the optimum picture quality during the daytime or nighttime for each source. Simply press the Day/Night button on the remote or use the automatic timer to switch between bright daytime settings and high-fidelity nighttime settings. Other convenience features include a sleep timer, closed caption decoding, tri-lingual on-screen display (English, French, Spanish), and V-Chip parental controls.
This set has a powerful 24-watt, two-way speaker system (12 watts per channel) that can produce simulated surround sound via the two speakers. It has an optical digital audio output for connecting to a home theater system for true 5.1-channel (or higher) surround sound. Other audio features include mute/soft mute, bass boost, and capability of using the set as a center speaker in a multi-channel surround sound system. It includes the following video and audio connections:
- Composite AV (RCA): 5 in (1 front)
- S-Video: 2 in
- Component Video: 2 in
- HDMI: 1 in
- RF: 1 in
- Digital audio output: 1 optical
Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. It provides up to a 5 GB per second bandwidth for transmitting pure digital video and audio signals with no degradation in the transfer. It can carry up to eight discrete audio channels, making it compatible with 7.1-channel surround sound systems. Signals are encrypted with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) to prevent recording. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with most DVI connections .
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.
