Hitachi's CineForm plasmas build on the strengths of the UltraVision models, and add performance and convenience upgrades that contribute to more enjoyable viewing. The most obvious change is the black side speakers, which enhance the overall appearance as well as the impact of the picture. The 42" 42HDT79 also includes a motorized swivel base that you can operate with the TV's remote, for convenient fine-tuning of the viewing angle from your favorite chair.

The 42HDT79 has a 40% higher pixel count than conventional 42" plasmas. The screen's 1024 x 1080 pixels can display more detail than typical models with 1024 x 768-pixel resolution. Hitachi uses ALiS (Alternate Lighting of Surfaces) screens for their 42" plasmas. This high-efficiency panel technology was developed specifically for displaying 1080i high-definition video. The walls between the screen's rows of pixels are thinner, which increases the percentage of active display area for a seamless picture with outstanding brightness, clarity and contrast.

Videophiles will love the 42HDT79's advanced video processing and picture controls. Unlike many flat-panel TVs, this plasma covers 100% of the HDTV color range for deep, saturated colors. An adjustable color decoder helps you get skin tones just right. The color management system gives you independent color settings for video sources and for viewing digital photos via the USB input. You'll see your precious photos diplayed accurately for a change.

The "Digital Cable Ready" 42HDT79 includes the easy-to-use TV Guide On Screen program guide. The color-coded grid makes it a snap to sort through programs for viewing, or scheduling recordings to your VCR, DVR, or DVD recorder. The flexible, future-ready set of audio/video inputs can accommodate several high-definition sources, with 3 component video and 3 HDMI connections. Hitachi's illuminated Roll & Click remote keeps you in control at all times, and includes two thumbwheels for quickly changing channels or adjusting the volume.
