Hitachi's fall lineup is all 1080
Hitachi has announced a fall lineup of plasma and LCD displays, with the main selling point that all of the sets include 1080 lines of vertical resolution (although two of the plasmas offer a stretched 1280 x 1080). There are ten new HDTVs in all, with a 60-inch plasma and two 55-inch models, three 50-inch plasma displays, and four LCDs in 47- and 42-inch ranges. All models include Hitachi PictureMaster IV or V video processing, and some include a new technique to eliminate judder on 3:2 pulldown called Reel60. Some models also offer Power Swivel to allow the display to turn up to 30 degrees. The models range in price from the 60-inch Director's Series plasma at $7,996 to the 42-inch S-Series LCD at a mere $2,300, and will be released steadily throughout the summer.

Good article, Erik, although you left out the "e" in "lineup" for your headline.

Uhhh, did I scare everyone away with my simple yet respectful correction? Or, perhaps the Hitachi brand is perenially overshadowed by the dominance of "The Three S's." Any Hitachi owners out there care to share their good/bad experiences?

I think Hitachi also left out about 640 lines ...
