Put it Anywhere
The 3.9" deep 50PD9800TA gives you the luxury of choosing between hanging your TV on the wall or placing it on a stand.

Bright and Vivid Picture
The Hitachi 50PD9800TA offers unrivaled picture quality for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to plasma technology you can view images with amazing clarity, brightness, and contrast. The 50PD9800TA can display up to 1,070 million colors and is one of the brightest displays with a contrast ratio of 10000:1. All this leads to a much more vivid television experience.

16:9 Wide Screen
You no longer have to deal with cropped off images while watching some of your favorite movies. With its wide screen 16:9 aspect ratio you can now watch movies in their original format. In fact, the 16:9 aspect ratio is one of the most important aspects of the 50PD9800TA since all future HDTV signals will be broadcast in this format.

Wide Viewing Angle
The 50PD9800TA offers a completely flat viewing surface with a 160 degree viewing angle. The expansive viewing angle means that you can watch your favorite programs from nearly anywhere in your living room without distortions common to rear-projection TV's or TFT monitors.

Cure for Sore Eyes
Traditionally, video signals are transmitted using an interlacing format where two separate frames are transposed to create one single frame. This results in flicker that can lead to eye fatigue and soreness. This flicker problem is eliminated with the progressive scanning process where video images are transmitted in one single complete frame. The 50PD9800TA is compatible with all progressive scanning signals from high quality DVD players and HDTV decoders, and other high-end video equipment to produce brilliant flicker-free images.

PC Ready
The 50PD9800TA is PC ready. You now have the ability to use your plasma TV with any SXGA, XGA, SVGA, or VGA computer video signals*. With Hitachi's 50PD9800TA you not only have a TV, but a 50" computer monitor as well.

Digital Television for Today and Tomorrow
The Hitachi 50PD9800TA allows you to enjoy your favorite TV programming today while being prepared for the future. The 50PD9800TA is an HDTV monitor and can support HDTV (1080i, 1080p and 720p) and EDTV/SDTV (480p and 480i) input signals**. This allows you to enjoy the shows of today, with much better picture quality, and be prepared for the future of HDTV offerings.
