Full HDTV: Last-minute tips for the euro

Who wants to look to the European Football Championship in the tube, should now quickly losstürmen and afford a dream LCD with full HD resolution

The best technology at the best price: We will show the Ribérys, Ballack and Luca of Toni's you see the LCDs.

Superscharf: Samsung LE40F86

Our current test winner of the 40/42-Zöllern shows properly sharp - regardless of each gate, comes from which source the material. Another advantage: with the LCD you are 2010 prepared also for the World Cup, because it offers a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixel full screen (1. 1080p). It also supports native playback of footage at 24 frames per second (24 p). Thanks to extra bass real stadium atmosphere comes in your living room. Small disadvantages: A wobbly walk and a cheap remote control.

Entry price products: Sony KDL-40V3000

The Sony LCD breaks the 1,000 EUR price limit and manages still at number 4 in the current LCD Hall of Fame. Ideal for any football transfer he scores with good image. This TV set not only with the purchase is cheap, he saves during the game thanks to eco mode (65 Watt) neat electricity. In addition, he is willing to connection and offers full HD resolution.

Small, but finely: Philips 32PFL7762D

The smaller 32-inch LCD scores more at the price. With just under 600 euros, he offers a sharp HD football experience. The image is excellent, only the interfaces are poorly accessible. Small drawback: with a resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels, it offers not full HD-feeling. For this he scores with other features like: 24 p, rich sound and stable stand.

Full-HD in the smallest space

The Philips 32PFL9603D is the first 32-incher with full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. In the test, he had to prove that something brings full HD even at this size.

When viewing HD TV shows, Blu-ray movies or digicam photos is the high resolution of television clearly noticeable: the presentation is very sharp and contrasty, the colors work of course. Normal TV pictures in the PAL format, however, appear not so brilliant, but still good for LCD / TV ratios.

Top values
Our visual impression confirm the measured values of the display: so far no 32-inch LCD could shine with a maximum contrast of 7.475: 1. The high contrast arises however because the screen dark image automatically reduces the backlight. But also the checkerboard contrast appear white and black squares in an image is really good with 162: 1. Less beautiful: in standard mode the image looks very grainy. Preferably, we liked the "Movie" mode. Here, the image appears correctly crisp sharp.

Everything in it, all off
The TV has a network port and a built-in streaming client, called by Philips media gateway. So you can send images, videos and MP3s on your home network to the TV. Actually there's a beautiful thing, but in the B Note withdrawal: the Philips understands only on JPEG, MPEG2 and MP3 formats. He just ignored everything else. For the interfaces, there is nothing to gripe: among other four HDMI 1.3 inputs and two SCART sockets allow the various to player.

Very user friendly
The dial on the remote control to control the menu reacts so sensitive so that you easily shoot over the target. Otherwise, the ergonomics is almost perfectly: there are comprehensive help texts, wizards facilitate the picture and sound settings. Also the TV helps connect other devices and set up the (Universal) remote control of devices such as a DVD player.

Conclusion
The Philips 32PFL9603D is an imaginative, high-quality TV with super image and a top facilities. Only the operation of the remote control requires some practice and the streaming client formats supported are more expandable. The price however worthy of criticism: 1.250 euro are simply too expensive for a 32-incher - even if he is as good as the 32PFL9603D.

Alternative
Panasonic TX-32LX70F although no full-HD resolution, shows very good images with a maximum resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels. 780 Euros it costs significantly less than the Philips TV.

World TV HD Lite - the whole world of television on the iPad?

The AppStore description for world TV HD Lite reads somewhat promising

More than 200 TV channels from around the world are to be received. This all in digital quality with high quality of image and sound, embedded in a very convenient and simple user interface. It is to work on iPhone and iPad and, so the description promises, "You will have no difficulty with ITV Digital!". And even a 4 star rating from over 450 reviews. Because you can do but actually wrong not much - or?

Well, the first mistake you can do with this app is much giving role description. Because of which astonishingly little true. The developer makes for one to verweden the error for Lite and full version of the same description. Instead of over 200 television programme are those 10. And not necessarily the most interesting. Then, the "HD" in the app name is somewhat misleading on a television access. As with HD television that has little to do (see second image). Finally, it is also not quite understand why is the talk of TV for iPhone and iPad. The app only runs on the iPad, a version for the iPhone does not exist. Not that that particular pity anyway…

World TV HD Lite

Of the 10 television channels, news and Eurosport are after all about BBC world. The rest are Russian and Arabic channels. But at least you can do is already a picture of the operation of the app and the broadcast-quality thus.

The operation is different from the description (comfortable and easy), suggests very minimalist. TV channels can be clicked through only by arrow keys. While you click through a few programs, is also quickly clear why "Change-over times" really hot "Switching times". You need at least abundant at switch-over time. A few seconds (feels like minutes) go at each channel change in the country.

The image quality is more than mixed. From normal TV (PAL) quality to programs that look as if you have zoomed in a postage-stamp-sized video to full screen, it's all there.

As the app could reach 4 stars in the AppStore is a mystery. Well, less if you read the abundant 5-star ratings. Because there is a striking accumulation of bad English ("super graphics and operation!") ("I would hope TV personally here world for domestic").

You can find World TV HD Lite in AppStore.
