This 15in flat screen television has an aerial input, plus
Scart,
composite,
VGA
(for a computer monitor) and
HDMI
for a high-definition DVD player or similar device.
Anything connected to the VGA or HDMI ports (as long as it's sending HD
signals) shows up far clearer than the other inputs, or even the TV channels.
That's because the unweildily named
LCD15W008HD
only has an analogue tuner, not
Freeview,
so it can only pick up the basic five stations.
The quality from these, as it will be on all LCD screens, is not great,
although it is perfectly watchable. Attach a HD input, though, and it gets a lot
better. Images are sharper and better defined, and colour reproduction improves
as well. It's not as impressive an improvement as you'll see on a 32in HDTV, but
it's still an improvement.
High definition on such a small screen is an interesting idea, and while it
works here, it's perhaps not quite enough of an improvement to justify the price
premium.
