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. Other ways have been devised to receive digital television. Among the most familiar to people are digital cable and digital satellite. In some countries where transmissions of TV signals are normally achieved by microwaves, digital MMDS is used.
With this article the aim is to take a look at what is on offer with the latest generation of Flat Screen Televisions and in this case the DMTech LM17DV.
The LM17DV is a 17in LCD TV and the prices for these are around 285 pounds sterling or 560 US dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD Ready the answer is no. The DMTech has 1 (1 RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the LM17DV uses is HDMI and no connections are available. The type of Tuner for this TV is Analogue and the DMTech is available from limited outlets only.
So given this information, what would be our view of the DMTech LM17DV?
Well to start with our score for the picture quality is 6 out of 10, and for the sound quality we would rate it at 8 out of 10. Taking a look at the number of relevant connections and their availability, our score would be 8 out of 10. With regards to the overall level of features, our view 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, 8 out of 10 and 8 out of 10 respectively.
Finally our overall opinion would be this is one to watch if the requirement is just for a fairly basic all in one DVD/TV/PC monitor for either a study or a bedroom.
