Hitachi Wooo 3D TV Includes Control from iPhone or iPad

Hitachi has announced last week that it will no longer produce TVs domestically (in Japan) by the end of 2011, but that doesn’t mean the company will not go out in style. Just a few hours ago, six Hitachi Wooo TVs were announced in Japan, including a 50-incher 3D model P50-GP08.

While this 3D TV could be Hitachi’s last self-produced flagship model, its specs remain very impressive. This model has a 50-inch 3D plasma screen with full HD resolution, Pixel Manager EX engine for clearer 3D imagery, a contrast ratio of 5 million to one, five TV tuners, 500GB removable hard disk drive, support for DLNA, web connectivity for video on demand, and four HDMI slots. You can even turn this TV off (after five to 60 minutes) just by leaving the room because of its integrated motion sensor. Lastly, you can use your iPhone or iPad as its remote control by downloading the “Wooo Remote” app, which is said to be released later this month.

The Hitachi Wooo P50-GP08 will be available in Japan beginning August 27, costing $4,200. We are still unsure whether Hitachi will sell this TV overseas as well.
