Hitachi UltraThin 1.5-Inch LCD TV Full Release Date And Pricing Schedule

The first time you caught a glimpse of Hitachi's 1.5 UltraThin line of LCD TV's, they were headed for shelves in Japan. In early May, we were thrilled to hear that the 1.5 family was hitting the US this summer and Hitachi has now confirmed this, releasing an availability and price schedule for the new UltraThin lineup.

Only 1.5-inches thin as you may have guessed, the UltraThin line will be available in 32-, 37-, 42-, and 47-inch sizes and broken into two categories--the Director's Series and the UltraVision-V Series.
