No longer an easy decision to make, buying your new TV is now a major financial investment. The idea of parting with what could be a couple of hundred notes does tend to concentrate the mind somewhat.
Given the way technology changes it is essential to try and make sure that your purchase is relatively future-proof.
Television over the years has taken a great number of forms from the old days of analogue Black and White, through the launch of colour television to the latest technologies known as Digital Television (DTT). Other ways have been devised to receive digital television. Among the most familiar to people are digital cable and digital satellite. In some countries where transmissions of TV signals are normally achieved by microwaves, digital MMDS is used.
For the purposes of this article we want to take a look at purchasing a new Flat Screen Television and in this case the television in question is the Humax LGB-26DTT.
The LGB-26DTT is a 26in LCD TV and the prices for these are around 1000 pounds sterling or 2000 US dollars. The screen resolution is 1280 X 768 and with regards to being HD Ready the answer is yes. The Humax has 3 (2 RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the LGB-26DTT uses is DVI and 1. The type of Tuner for this TV is Analogue and Digital and the Humax is available from limited outlets only.
All these points being taken into consideration, how would we view the Humax LGB-26DTT?
First up, we would look at the picture quality and our score here would be 6, and for the sound quality we would rate it at 6. Another useful aspect to review is the availability and number of relevant connections and our score here would be 10. If we take a look at the overall "featureability" our score would be 8 and for ease of use and overall value for money we would give it, 8 and 6 respectively.
Finally our overall opinion would be that this sadly is let down we feel by the picture quality and the sound but it has to be said that this TV does come with a great range of inputs and a good selection of features.
With the wide range and variety of makes and models available for you to choose from it is unlikely that you will not find something to suite your taste or satisfy any budgetary constraints that you might have. The choice, as they say, is completely down to you to decide whether to stay at the forefront of what are rapidly changing technologies and fashion or to remain part of the safer but perhaps better developed mainstream. Either way we hope that by reading this short article you should have a slightly more informed view of the options available to you
With regards to the prices in this article we have tried in all cases to take an average across the industry from a number of well known web sites and so we ask you to bear this in mind and treat these prices as advisory only rather than absolutes.
