The visual experience of HD is all about resolution - that is, the number of lines and pixels on the screen. Hitachi's revolutionary ALIS Panel serves as the canvas on which the colors and shapes of the visual artist are painted.
While other plasma panels were originally developed as PC displays, the ALIS panel has always been designed for TV viewing. That's why we believe there is no better way to reproduce the full glory of HD broadcasts and video than with our exclusive ALIS panel technology.
ALIS stands for Alternate Lighting of Surfaces. This technology alternates the illumination of odd and even numbered lines for a display with more than twice the detail of standard-definition displays. It also significantly increases brightness.
What is more, the 1080 ALIS panel can directly display HD signals without scaling, so there is less influence on picture quality through conversion.
Not only have Hitachi full HD plasma TVs stretched the number of pixels to the limits of hi-definition broadcast resolution - 1920 horizontal by 1080 vertical - but they also offer a huge advantage in another key factor of large-screen TVs: moving picture resolution.
The ALIS Panel is self-illuminating, which means the pixels turn on and off quickly to instantly display images and produce sharper, more precise moving objects. This brings moving picture display even closer to that of human vision. Whether you're watching a baseball game, a field of flowers blowing in the wind, or even text scrolling across the screen, everything that moves on a Hitachi plasma TV is clearer, more lifelike, and much easier to watch, with no residual images.

With today's flat-panel TVs, the only thing that looks better than the on-screen image is often the TV itself.
