Choose A Quality LCD Flat Screen TV From One Of These Two From Hitachi and Sharp.
January 31, 2008 |
From its origins as a humble �electromechanical information system� and early Cathode Ray delivery systems to the broadcast medium we know it to be nowadays, television has travelled along way to get to the multi dimensional full colour Liquid Crystal Display sets /Flat Screen TV of today. It is perhaps difficult to believe but when questioned about essential personal items worth keeping, quite a few people listed their TV sets as an essential item.
Highly complicated yet when reduced to its basics quite frighteningly simple in execution the process of the television broadcast is one that very few people actually understand entirely or do they? The word television is derived from a mixed usage of Greek and Latin roots meaning in literary terms �far sight� and being derived from the Greek term �tele� meaning �far� and the Latin �vision� meaning �sight� or �to view in the first person�.
Television has problems that are similar to most emerging and developing technologies in that one of the problems that most people have is a total misunderstanding of the majority of the jargon and terms in use.
Now would be a good idea to concentrate purely on the digital aspect of television, its latest developments formats and bandwidth issues in use and exactly what all this technical jargon and terminology actually mean.
So how would you describe Digital TV? Digital television is much more flexible and efficient than conventional analogue television and digital signals provide a much clearer picture, much better sound quality and a far greater choice and availability of programming.
So in basic terms, how does a Digital TV differ from a more conventional one? Using one of the newer LCD TV�s available will help us actually go through what all of this terminology actually means.
Now the key items of information that we need to be familiar with are as follows.
The Screen resolution of the TV is possibly the most obvious place to start. Here we refer to the exact number of pixels that can be displayed in each dimension.
Whether the TV is Hi-Definition Ready would be the next thing to look at. Hi Definition TV essentially makes a TV picture in a quality format that is at least four times better than conventionally available at present.
The next item that we would need to look at is what types of connectors are used between the peripherals used alongside the main Digital TV?
We are referring here to the exact nature and number of the Scarts Sockets and Plugs in use. Here the definition of SCART refers to �Syndicat francais des Constructeurs d�Appareils Radio et Television (SCART).
The final item we would look at would be what is the nature and number of the High-Definition Multimedia Interfaces (HDMI) being used. Here High Definition Multimedia Interfaces (HDMI) refers to the audio/video connector interface that transmits the uncompressed digital streams of information between two or more digital components such as a HD DVD Disc player, a Blu-ray Disc player, a Personal Computer or Video Console.
The first LCD TV that we recommend that you take a look at here is the Hitachi 32LD9700
The 32LD9700 is a 32in LCD TV these TV’s at present can be found in the region of 1000 pounds sterling or 2000 US dollars. The screen resolution is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD ready the answer is yes. The Hitachi has 3 (2 RGB) scarts and the type and number of multimedia interfaces the the 32LD9700 uses is HDMI also 2. The type of tuner for this TV is Analogue also Digital and the Hitachi 32LD9700 is available from a wide number of outlets..
So how would we rate the Hitachi 32LD9700? Well to start with our score for the picture quality is 10 out of 10, next we would look at the sound quality and our view of this would be 10 out of 10. With regards to the availability and number of relevant connections, 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 if we then take a look at the ease of use and overall value for money then our scores would be 10 along with 10 out of 10 respectively..
Having taken all things into consideration our overall opinion would be as follows WOW what can you say but that this is one of those TV’s that excel in almost every thing it is supposed to do. Described as a “Superb All-rounder”, there is not much that this TV does not achieve. If you can get your hands on one of these then go for it.
Next we recommend that you look at the Sharp Aquos LC-37GD1E
The LC-37GD1E is a 37in LCD TV with these TV’s at present can be found in the region of 3500 pounds sterling or 7000 US dollars. The screen resolution is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD ready the answer is yes. The Sharp has 3 (2 RGB) scarts and the type and number of multimedia interfaces the the LC-37GD1E uses is DVI also 1. The type of tuner for this TV is Analogue as well as Digital and the Sharp Aquos LC-37GD1E is available from limited outlets only.
So how would we rate the Sharp Aquos LC-37GD1E? Well to start with our score for the picture quality is 10 out of 10, next we would look at the sound quality and our view of this would be 10 out of 10. With regards to the availability and number of relevant connections, our score would be 10 out of 10 . If we take a look at the overall “featureability” our score would be 8 out of 10 if we then take a look at the ease of use and overall value for money then our scores would be 8 and 8 out of 10 respectively..
Having taken all things into consideration our overall opinion would be as follows This is one of those top of the range LCD TVs that is well capable of beating Plasma displays at their own game and would appear to be another winner from Sharp and yet another great product in their Aquos range. That having been said it is still slightly on the expensive side.
Remember that all the prices we use in these reviews are very much designed for illustration purposes only and in some cases you may well find the actual price cheaper but also in some cases, more expensive.
