| So you are trying (or lets be more positive about this) | | | | is not a lot to be positive and enthusing about this TV |
| or at least going to buy your first Flat Screen TV and | | | | even allowing for the fact that it is relatively cheap. |
| you aren't exactly sure where to start first. | | | | That factor allowing, it still doesn't represent good value |
| Well unlike other guides I am going to recommend that | | | | for money (in our opinion) so thumbs down I'm afraid. |
| you think long and hard about the financial implications | | | | The real fact is that Evesham actually have other sets |
| first. | | | | that are infinitely superior to this one and this does let |
| Now this might sound daft and as if we are trying to | | | | the side down I'm afraid. |
| talk you out of spending your hard earned (or "ill | | | | Next up we think that you should avoid the Funai |
| gotten" just delete or insert where applicable) cash | | | | T27004. |
| when you should be basking in thoughts of Plasma or | | | | The T27004 is a 27in LCD TV and the prices for |
| LCD, Aspect Ratios, Screen sizes etc but this all | | | | these are around 700 pounds sterling or 1400 US |
| matters not one jot if you get your budgeting wrong. | | | | dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1280 X 720 and |
| Stop and just consider this for a moment. | | | | with regards to being HD Ready the answer is yes. |
| The financial expenditure that you are about to | | | | The Funai has 2 (2 RGB) scarts and the type and |
| embark upon is probably going to be one of the major | | | | number of Multimedia interfaces the T27004 uses is |
| items of expense that you are likely to encounter | | | | DVI and 1. The type of Tuner for this TV is Analogue |
| (after the House/Flat and Car etc) so it is important to | | | | and the Funai is available from limited outlets only. |
| get it right. | | | | All these points being taken into consideration, how |
| Plan well in advance how much you have got to | | | | would we view the Funai T27004? |
| spend and how much of a leeway / margin of error | | | | First up, we would look at the picture quality and our |
| you can play with. | | | | score here would be 4, and for the sound quality we |
| As they say make the wrong decision too soon and it | | | | would rate it at 4. Another useful aspect to review is |
| could be along time for you to correct your mistakes. | | | | the availability and number of relevant connections and |
| The thing is that without proper planning you could be | | | | our score here would be 6. With regards to the overall |
| left regretting the fact that you could have scored | | | | level of features, our view would be 4 and for ease of |
| big-time with a "sales bargain" for just a few hundred | | | | use and overall value for money we would give it, 8 |
| more at this stage in the proceedings or you allowed | | | | and 4 respectively. |
| yourself into being talked into spending way more that | | | | Taking everything into consideration our overall view of |
| you had budgeted for and now you can't afford the | | | | the package would be for the asking price of this TV, |
| electricity bills to power it! | | | | the picture quality is very poor and therefore our |
| As I said before, think carefully and plan well and you | | | | verdict has got to be thumbs down for this offering so |
| should be OK. | | | | go and part with your hard earned cash elsewhere! |
| So let's get started with looking around at what is on | | | | Lastly we think that you should give a miss to the |
| offer at the moment and continuing the trend of giving | | | | Sanyo CE-32LD6. |
| you independent advice (not always what you want to | | | | The CE-32LD6 is a 32in LCD TV and these TV's at |
| hear but never mind) in this article we are going to | | | | present can be found in the region of 790 pounds |
| take a look at what you should NOT spend your | | | | sterling or 1580 US dollars. The screen resolution is |
| money on despite the best intentions of the sales | | | | 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD Ready the |
| guys! | | | | answer is yes. The Sanyo has 3 (2 RGB) scarts and |
| We've highlighted three particular Flat Screen TV's that | | | | the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the |
| you should steer clear of if you are looking for a | | | | CE-32LD6 uses are HDMI and 1. The type of Tuner |
| decent TV and they are as follows. | | | | for this TV is Analogue and the Sanyo is available |
| The first one we recommend you steer clear of is the | | | | from limited outlets only. |
| Evesham V32EMRO. | | | | So how would we rate the Sanyo CE-32LD6? |
| The V32EMRO is a 32in LCD TV and currently these | | | | Well to start with our score for the picture quality is 6, |
| TV's can be found for 600 pounds sterling or 1200 US | | | | and closely tied in to the picture quality is the sound |
| dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1366 X 768 and | | | | quality and our score for this would be 4. Taking a look |
| with regards to being HD Ready the answer is yes. | | | | at the number of relevant connections and their |
| The Evesham has 2 (no RGB) scarts and the type | | | | availability, our score would be 8. If we take a look at |
| and number of Multimedia interfaces the V32EMRO | | | | the overall "featureability" our score would be 6 if we |
| uses is HDMI and 1. The type of Tuner for this TV is | | | | then take a look at the ease of use and overall value |
| Analogue and the Evesham is available from limited | | | | for money then our scores would be, 8 and 4 |
| outlets only. | | | | respectively. |
| All these points being taken into consideration, how | | | | Taking everything into consideration our overall view of |
| would we view the Evesham V32EMRO? | | | | the package would be there is not much to |
| First up, we would look at the picture quality and our | | | | recommend this I'm afraid despite however hard we |
| score here would be 4, and for the sound quality we | | | | tried. To be honest this TV gives the impression that all |
| would rate it at 4. Another useful aspect to review is | | | | Sanyo were really trying to do was find some use for |
| the availability and number of relevant connections and | | | | excess spare parts. Very much a case of "what do |
| our score here would be 4. As far as overall features | | | | we do with these electronic bits - Oh I know lets build |
| are concerned we would give it 4 and the final | | | | a TV and see how much we can offload." |
| individual verdicts would relate to the ease of use and | | | | Remember that all the prices we use in these reviews |
| overall value for money and our scores here would be, | | | | are very much designed for illustration purposes only |
| 8 and 4 respectively. | | | | and in some cases you may well find the actual price |
| Finally our overall opinion would be to be honest there | | | | cheaper but also in some cases, more expensive. |
