Hitachi’s 50-inch P50-GP08 3D TV can be its Japanese swan song

If the P50-GP08 is indeed Hitachi’s last domestically produced TV, it’d make for worthy finale. Unveiled today, this 3D TV includes a 50-inch plasma screen able to beaming images in full HD, 1920 x 1080 resolution, with a contrast ratio of five,000,000:1. The beast also packs five TV tuners, a 500GB removable HDD, a quartet of HDMI ports and a motion sensor that turns off the set after a preset time period (between five and 60 seconds). Better of all, everything could be controlled from the relief of an iPad or iPhone, due to the Wooo Remote app, scheduled for release later this month (see a picture, after the break). In keeping with AV Watch, the P50-GP08 should start shipping on August 27th for approximately ¥220,000 (around $2,875), though there isn’t any word yet on whether it’ll ever make it to markets overseas.
