THE SPOT
"LCD" (:30) opens on a colorful engine against a stark black background. As the camera pans over the engine, a voiceover states, "For the first time ever, the pure beauty of film is brought to home theater. The exclusive Hitachi Dual Focus Light Engine." The scene then shifts to a shot of the Hitachi UltraVision CineForm LCD Hi-Definition TV, along with the tagline, "Inspire the next," and the Hitachi logo.
