It's a very expensive large monitor really, it does come with a 3 or 4 foot HDMI cable in the box... which is neat.... I guess.

Yeah it's small and expensive, but its 3mm in thickness and you can sit REAL close.

I feel bad now, I am obviously not seeing the humour in it. It's just I see soo many posts provoking attacks on product or website XYZ. Change it back, I'm over-ridden with guilt!

]]> <![CDATA[Hitachi UltraThin 1.5-Inch LCDs Finally Hitting US Soil]]> No tuner? Well who cares if it's thin then. It absolutely requires the use of a non-thin box somewhere near it with some ugly cable winding its way to the TV. These aren't even LCD TV's or HD TV's -- they're just big flat monitors.

Does it even come with it's own remote? I'm guessing "no" since the remote control would be paired with the tuner.

Also: other than the warranty/price/availability date, can anybody tell the difference between the Director and UltraVision lines?

Does it fit in a very large manila envelope?

]]> <![CDATA[Hitachi UltraThin 1.5-Inch LCDs Finally Hitting US Soil]]> While it is sexy, who really cares about how thin the LCD is? You don't move it around, it stays on or near the wall....CRT--> LCD is a much bigger step than fat LCD -->thin LCD

MrBlahBlah

]]> <![CDATA[Hitachi UltraThin 1.5-Inch LCDs Finally Hitting US Soil]]> @PipeRifle: Ya srsly. If you can't roll it up, then it doesn't really matter if it's 3" or 1"

It still gets mounted on the wall. It's still just as thin as other LCD TVs. So who cares about an inch of width being saved?

liveinvt

]]> <![CDATA[Hitachi UltraThin 1.5-Inch LCDs Finally Hitting US Soil]]> My opinion is that until things like media players, surround sound receivers, or even DVD cases and other things I want to keep around the TV...until those things are completely flat, I will always have something in the way of a shelf or platform that at least sticks a little bit out from the wall.

So why the rush to "the thinnest", when it comes at the cost of features and the cost of, well, cost? Sure, it's great for wall-mounting and such, but I'd rather have a thicker, feature-packed LCD at the top of the line for half the price, please.

I was walking to another room while watching the screen and was amazed as the screen went from gigantic-46-inch-ness to 3-inch-nothing but I could see the image perfectly until I was parallel with the edge. Awesome.
