With its bright, clear 55" screen, Hitachi's 55HDT79 gives you a noticeably bigger picture than a 50" plasma, but without the steep price jump that comes with 60-plus-inch models. This beauty's gorgeous picture, black-with-silver-trim styling, and motorized swivel stand will be the envy of your friends and neighbors. Hitachi's CineForm plasmas build on the strengths of the UltraVision models, with performance and convenience upgrades that add up to more enjoyable viewing. For example, the "Digital Cable Ready" 55HDT79 adds the easy-to-use TV Guide On Screen program guide, just press the Guide button on the remote to find your favorite shows. The color-coded grid makes it a snap to sort through programs for viewing, or scheduling recordings to a VCR, DVR, or DVD recorder. The 55HDT79 also expands on the 55HDS69's already-impressive picture controls. The 55HDT79 offers greater color control, including the ability to store a separate color setting for accurately displaying digital photos. Plus, an adjustable color decoder provides added precision to help you get skin tones just right. Hitachi's Day and Night Memory feature ensures that no matter what time of day or what video source you watch, the TV will deliver optimum picture quality. Simply press a button on the remote to toggle between brighter daytime settings and more theater-like nighttime settings.
