It seems that everyone either has or wants to get the latest Flat Screen TV for their home. What sort of Flat Screen TV do you purchase?
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), Plasma, TFT what do you go with and purchase?
How would you define Digital TV and at the same time a Flat Screen TV? This is one of those areas where by and large ignorance rules and the wrong terms get used with amazing regularity such as LCD and Plasma both meaning the same thing when in fact they are similar yet different technologies.
The two main types of Flat Screen TV or screens available today are either Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) or Plasma. One of the major differences between the two technologies probably lies in the fact that with LCD TV�s because the main technology used is TFT (Thin Film Transistor) by and large the screens are able to be much more energy efficient and potentially much smaller and more mobile.
So lets get down to basics and start looking at individual TV�s.
The first LCD TV that we recommend that you take a look at here is the Sony KDL-32V20000
The KDL-32V20000 is a 32in LCD TV and the prices for these are around 1300 pounds sterling or 2600 US dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD ready the answer is yes. The Sony has 2 (2 RGB) scarts and and the type and number of multimedia interfaces the the Sony KDL-32V20000 uses are HDMI and 1. The type of tuner for this TV is Analogue and Digital and the KDL-32V20000 is available from a wide variety of outlets.
So given this information, what would be our view of the KDL-32V20000?
Well to start with our score for the picture quality is 10 out of 10 and closely tied in to the picture quality is the sound quality and our score for this would be 10 out of 10 Connectivity is important for most of these new media TV Sets and such our score would be 8 out of 10 If we take a look at the overall "featureability" our score would be 10 out of 10 and with regards to ease of use and overall value for money our opinion and score would be 8 and 8 out of 10 respectively.
Taking verything into consideration our overall view of the package would be this TV is very bit as elegant as the rest of the TV's from Sony and has a performance to match. The visuals are a joy to behold with good performances across the board. The audio is pretty damn good also and the speaker system give a performance that is almost unrivalled. OK the price is slightly more than contemporary units from other manufacturers but in this case we feel that this would be money well spent - always assuming that you had access to the funds in the first place.
The next LCD TV that we recommend that you take a look at here is the Samsung LE-32R87BD
The LE-32R87BD is a 32in LCD TV and currently these TV's can be found for 700 pounds sterling or 1400 US dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD ready the answer is yes. The Samsung has 2 (1 RGB) scarts and and the type and number of multimedia interfaces the the Samsung LE-32R87BD uses are HDMI and 3. The type of tuner for this TV is Analogue and Digital and the LE-32R87BD is available from a wide variety of outlets.
So to take an initial view how would we rate LE-32R87BD?
The most obvious place to start with as far as TV's are concerned would be the picture quality and our score here would be 10 out of 10 next we would look at the sound quality and our view of this would be 6 out of 10 Taking a look at the number of relevant connections and their availability, our score would be 10 out of 10 Overall with regards to the actual "featureability" of the set our score would be 10 out of 10 and the final individual verdicts would relate to the ease of use and overall value for money and our scores here would be 8 and 10 out of 10 respectively.
The overall verdict would be that this TV is great value all round. The design and performance marks it as yet another great TV from Samsung
