The Hitachi ultra-thins are coming!

Philip Wong | May 30, 2008

If you like it really thin, the sleek Hitachi 1.5 is exactly what you've been waiting for. These new-gen HDTVs will knock you off your feet with their petite 1.5 inch-thick bezels. Available from 32- to 37- and 42-inch screen sizes, they feature brightness-enhanced IPS-Pro LCD and an external HD multimedia station. The latter can be mounted upright and houses DVB-T tuner and MPEG-4 decoder for HD broadcasts, plus twin HDMI inputs and USB port for onboard JPEG playback

That's not all. The larger 37- and 42-inchers are also full-HD-ready and pack 100Hz Clear Motion Picture technology to double the standard picture frame rate for smoother onscreen action. To further satisfy color fanatics, both are compatible with 36-bit Deep Color video signals for richer hues, too. The black/white Hitachi UT-series will be launched in Singapore from June 2. A 32-inch model without the media station will set you back S$1,999 (US$1,404.98). Do check back here for more updates.
