HDTV Reviews

If you are looking are a good, cool and cheap LCD HDTV, the Sanyo CE-32LDY1 would be a perfect answer. TrustedReviews have reviewed the CE-32LDY1 32-inch LCD and say being a TV is merely the start of its talents. For it’s one of a very select few LCD TVs in the UK that also sports a built-in hard disk drive for recording TV programmes.

This HDD PVR system is no half-baked effort, either, with the available space running to an enormous 160GB – enough to hold around 37 hours of premium quality recordings or a whopping 180 hours of lower quality recordings. This should be enough to cope with a whole family’s recording needs, or allow you to archive many of your favourite movies or TV series to the HDD rather than videotape or DVD.

When it comes to key screen specifications, the 32LDY1 enjoys a 1,366 x 768 native resolution which, in conjunction with its connectivity, makes it fully HD Ready. It also boasts slightly higher than normal claimed contrast ratio and brightness figures of 1000:1 and 550cd/m2 respectively.

If you just happen to be in the market for both a PVR and a TV, the 32LDY1 certainly deserves your attention, as it manages to combine its unusual feature combination with a very decent all round performance. Just bear in mind that you can get better PVR and TV performances if you don’t mind buying them separately.
