No matter where in the room you sit, you are going to see your favorite movies the way they were designed by the director — nothing lost, nothing compromised. Meet Hitachi’s Director’s Series® P50X901 plasma panel. Since the advent of television there has been a mismatch between the motion of film to the way it plays back on television. Hitachi’s revolutionary new Reel60™ film processing is a new technology that perfectly matches the 60Hz frame rate of film (Other TVs use 120Hz technology). And, the all new PictureMaster™ HD V video processor upgrades all incoming signal to Full HD1080, ensuring outstanding picture quality regardless of input type or resolution format. Plus, in case you rearrange the living room, the motorized swivel stand rotates the screen up to 30 degrees to the left or right.

Review By pcmag

 Hitachi’s P50X901 plasma HDTV comes with an impressively complete selection of audio and video controls, but this stylishly modern flat-panel television has some major picture-quality issues. Its 50-inch, 1,920-by-1,080-pixel screen updates every other horizontal line per cycle, effectively making it an interlaced display. In addition, relatively high black levels result in poor average picture contrast. With an ever-increasing selection of true 1080p sets offering better contrast with fewer artifacts associated with interlacing, I find it hard to recommend the set for serious video aficionados.

Action sequences such as sports looks clean and without motion artifacts on this set. Standard definition source material is also fine but looses some sharpness and color saturation. As far as black level in the image is concerned you can take full benefit of it if the monitor is connected with 3rd generation Toshiba HD DVD players and which can transmit 1080P picture at 24 frames per second through HDMI 1.3 port and the same cable with a bandwidth of 10.2 gigabytes. If the HD DVD disc is coded in VC-1 codec it will give Cinema quality picture. Some HD DVD discs e.g. Transformers which are coded in AVC MPEG4 gives graphic looks where it shows animation type of picture on robots close-ups. HD DVDs of King Kong and Phantom of the Opera looks great on this set. They have a film-like look. Action packed HD DVD of M-I-III looks great.
