Hitachi introduced its Wooo 9000 HDTV Series (we’re not kidding, it’s actually “Wooo”), PVR-toting plasma or LCD HDTVs with two digital and two analog tuners built in. You can get any of these displays without the 250GB hard disk if you don’t mind being at the mercy of television network programmers or feel like waiting for the HD version of TiVo.
The 37-and 42-inch screens are plasma displays, while the 32-inch model is an LCD panel. The PVR-equipped units will ship on April 29, and those without hard drives will follow on May 15. We say Hitachi is off to a good start with that snazzy styling, but the company might want to work on that “Wooo” name, which makes us feel like giggling rather than being awestruck. Price range is estimated to be from $2964 to $4318.
