Two of the Best LCD Flat Screen Tvs Available Currently From Toshiba and Humax

It would appear that latest and most prestigious in house fashion accessory for the home is the Flat Screen TV. Taking price and money out of the equation which type of Flat Screen TV do you purchase?

OK are you going to go with a Plasma TV (older technology, been around since 1964) or do you go with Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for the Flat Screen TV?

So how would you describe Digital TV and how would you describe a Flat Screen TV? Well the short answer is that phraseology is mixed here and quite often people get confused, LCD, TFT and Plasma are all terms that get bandied around yet they don?t all mean the same thing.

In a nutshell Flat Screen TV?s can either be Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) sets or can be Plasma screen but the two are different. 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 Toshiba 37WLT66

The 37WLT66 is a 32in LCD TV and these TV's at present can be found in the region of 1200 pounds sterling or 2400 US dollars. The screen resolution is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD ready the answer is yes. The Toshiba has 2 (1 RGB) scarts and and the type and number of multimedia interfaces the the Toshiba 37WLT66 uses are HDMI and 2. The type of tuner for this TV is Analogue and Digital and the 37WLT66 is available from a wide variety of outlets.

So given this information, what would be our view of the 37WLT66?

Well it is a TV after all and as such the logical place to start would be the picture and our score here would be 10 out of 10 as the other half of the "Sound and Vision" double act our opinion of the sound quality would be 8 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 and for ease of use and overall value for money we would give the 8 and 10 out of 10 respectively.

Taking verything into consideration our overall view of the package would be the picture quality of this TV is extremely high (as you would expect being the sister TV to the 37WL66) and the Digital Tuner provides really clear pictures for those who don't believe in any form of Cable or Satellite subscriptions. It has to be said that overall this is an extremely good TV.

The next LCD TV that we recommend that you take a look at here is the Humax LP32-TDR1

The LP32-TDR1 is a 32in LCD TV and the prices for these are around 800 pounds sterling or 1600 US dollars. The screen resolution is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD ready the answer is yes.

So what would we think is a fair assessment of the LP32-TDR1?

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 8 out of 10 as the other half of the "Sound and Vision" double act our opinion of the sound quality would be 6 out of 10 Taking a look at the number of relevant connections and their availability, 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 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.

Having taken all things into consideration our overall opinion would be as follows the idea behind the concept of combining a TV and a HDD player is absolutely brilliant and one that more should follow. Definitely one to recommend to your friends.
