Hitachi to release 5 flat screens in time for stay-home weather

Come September 1st, if you're at all interested in a plasma screen TV capable of 68.6 billion colors, Hitachi's going to have five for you, ranging from 32 to 54-inches. It's the latest in their ingeniously titled
WOOO line of home entertainment products, including some with built-in DVD players and hard drives (for recording TV shows—goodbye, standalone TiVo?). Plus they're not ashamed to let us know that they've developed a new technology that's supposed to dramatically prevent brightness degredation over a display's 60,000 hour expected lifetime, which is nice to know when you're dropping a few dimes on a TV.
