Final scores of 1 x 9 points, 2 x 8 points and 1 x 7 points out of 10 were awarded.    Test results
"Cello C3298FR review"
1 Television
TechRadar UK
Published on 10/2009
On test: Cello Electronics C3298FR
"With its latest range of Freeview equipped LCD IDTVs, manufacturer Cello Electronics has given users the option of recording and timeshifting TV to inserted SD cards. The format is cheap (you can buy 16GB cards online for less than £20) while having the benefit of enabling easy transfer of recordings to the numerous computers with compatible card readers. Twin tuners enable the TV to record two channels at the same time, but you'll need two SD cards to make this happen." Review details: Single Test    Test results

LCD TVs

The quality of LCD televisions has improved dramatically since their introduction putting them on equal footing with plasma screen for sizes up to around 37inches. In fact, LCD has impressed the public so much, that one in three consumers now opt for LCD when buying a new set.

The internal electronics of an LCD panel are very complicated, but at its most basic level it is still the same technology that has powered those Casio calculators and digital watches since time immemorial. Light is passed through a series of polarizing filters which either blocks it or allows it to pass through, thus creating an image on the display. In LCD flat panel displays, this light is then sent through a series of specially arranged colour filters which, due to their close proximity, can fool the eye into thinking it is seeing a single blended colour, when in fact it is a mosh pit of individual prime colours.

LCD TVs are now sold for the same prices CRT televisions were going for towards the end of their lifespan, indeed CRT televisions are nowadays rarely stocked in the more upmarket stores and usually only available as bargain basement products from random east Asian rebadgers and second hand stores.

A good LCD television should have a low response time, high brightness and good contrast ratio. The contrast ratio will tell you how many shades there are between the lightest and darkest colour the set can produce, this will then allow you to see more detail in dark sections of a film, which was previously where LCD technology fell down. Today's screens are perfectly capable of producing perfect images and when paired with a decent surround sound system and DVD player, can make a very nice home cinema system.
