Large-format plasma for high-performance professional and home theater applications.

Hitachi technology once again delivers sharp, smooth performance in a big screen unit. With high-resolution (1366x768) in a 16:9 aspect ratio, the 55HDM71 achieves an unsurpassed plasma picture.

The 55” Plasma screen size incorporates 20% more picture area than a 50” screen size.

Hitachi’s new 8 bit image processing insures rich picture quality with 16.7-Million color display capability, and a High Contrast Black Rib Structure ensures excellent contrast and deep blacks with any source material or viewing environment.

Amenities like Monitor ID Bit, life extension modes, screen savers, full serial control with RS232C, 20 watt audio amplifier, picture-in-picture, split screen and dual image control are all designed to create the optimum industrial solution.

An optional swivel table top stand, optional wall mount bracket and optional black or silver side mount speakers offer flexible installation options. Hitachi original technology and seamless integration, the ultimate plasma display for the multimedia experience is here.

The Hitachi 55HDM71 High-Definition Professional Plasma Monitor has been specifically engineered for unparalleled picture performance, accurately recreating the smooth, dramatic images experienced at the movie theater. Simply put, Hitachi’s exclusive plasma display technology puts more picture on the screen. Instead of two electrodes for each line of video, the 55HDM71 incorporates a single electrode. This produces a more efficient panel that allows non-picture borders around each pixel to be reduced to a minimum. The result is more total illuminated phosphor area dedicated to the picture itself. More active screen area delivers a brighter picture, and significantly reduces the “screen door” grid pattern common with conventional phosphor configurations.

Creating a high-quality cinematic image demands accurate color reproduction. New phosphor and gas formulations significantly extend the color performance of the 55HDM71, allowing it to precisely produce the widest range of colors with subtle tonal gradations. The 55HDM71 seamlessly integrates Hitachi original technologies. The result is a large, well-defined picture, advanced user conveniences and contemporary styling—an ideal solution for high-performance Home Theater systems, corporate AV applications or commercial display purposes.

High Definition Capability:
The 55HDM71 offers high resolution to display your sharp, highly detailed and colorful presentations with impact.

High Efficiency Panel Technology:
Longer life span and lower energy usage are benefits of the latest generation of Hitachi Plasma technology. Lower power consumption reduces energy cost, increases longevity and decreases heat output.

Life Extension Control:
The display's useful life is programmable to convert peak brightness into extended periods of use-able display time. Select from several options to maximize the return on your investment.

Monitor ID Bit:
Control up to 7 plasma panels independently with one remote. The "ID" Identification Bit technology provides an easy way to control, adjust and monitor individual plasma panels by assigning them a discrete code.

RS-232C Interface:
Use this port for 2-way communication with the plasma. Ask the plasma panel for it's current status and change the performance on-the-fly through RS-232C and a compatible control system. System compatibility includes all of the major control manufacturers.

Screen Savers:
Utilize orbiting, inverting and wiping technologies to refresh the screen after extended display sessions.
