Channel

Getting a new television for the home is a major purchase nowadays. Spending what could be a considerable amount of cash should make you think seriously about what is essentially a major domestic investment.

Ensuring that any purchase you make is to all intent and purposes future-proof has to be the most major of all criteria when deciding which TV to buy.

The latest telecommunication system for broadcasting moving pictures and sound is known as Digital television (DTT) and as the name implies this relies upon the transmission and reception of digital signals as opposed to the more conventional analogue formats. With DTT, viewers are limited to whatever channels the antenna picks up. Signal quality will also vary.

The purpose of this article is to take a look at what is on offer with the new generation of Flat Screen Televisions available and in this case the television in particular is the JVC LT-32DX7.

The LT-32DX7 is a 32in LCD TV and the prices for these would be in the region of 1000 pounds sterling or 2000 US dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD Ready the answer is yes. The JVC has 2 (1 RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the LT-32DX7 uses is HDMI and 2. The type of Tuner for this TV is Analogue and Digital and the JVC is available from a wide variety of outlets.

So given this information, what would be our view of the JVC LT-32DX7?

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, and closely tied in to the picture quality is the sound quality and our score for this would be 10 out of 10. Another useful aspect to review is the availability and number of relevant connections and our score here 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, 10 out of 10 and 8 out of 10 respectively.

The overall verdict would be Described by one critic as "Retro Chic", this TV has terrific pictures, unbelievable sound at a price that is almost unbeatable. Miss this one at your own peril,as we believe this sort of package really is unbeatable.

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
