Hannspree Xv Review
The Hannspree Xv is a very cheap 32-inch LCD HDTV, from a brand which most people would have no idea who they are. They are better known for their smaller strange shape TV’s such as football shaped. Cnet have taken a look at the Xv and say, Strips of glossy black on either side of the base complement the screen around the frame and help create a look that’s a notch or two classier than many low-priced LCD TVs. The Hannspree Xv has a screen containing 1,366×768 pixels, a native resolution that allows it to display every detail from 720p HDTV material. All sources–including HDTV, standard-definition television, and computers–are scaled to fit the pixels.
The Hannspree Xv won’t win any awards for picture quality, but we found its image acceptably average given its price. We definitely give the overall nod to the Vizio 32-inch model, but the Hannspree isn’t too far behind.
We also took a look at how the Hannspree Xv handled standard-definition sources, and the results were surprisingly good. It smoothed out the jagged edges from the moving diagonal lines on the HQV test disc, and the waving American flag also looked very smooth.
