HANNspree is pretty pleased with itself as it boasts one of the few 28 inch widescreen LCD TVs on the market.
Though the TV boasts full HD credentials, both analogue and digital tuners, two HDMI and two SCART inputs, and teletext, there's still something a bit "computer monitor" about screen.
Full HD it may be, but it has a 16:10 aspect ratio (1,920 x 1,200 resolution) rather than the standard 16:9 of most branded HDTVs. That means black bars at the top and bottom of standard widescreen material, or picture stretching. The additional vertical resolution makes it great for hooking up to a PC via VGA or DVI, though.
Other features include 500cd/m2 brightness, 800:1 contrast ratio, 3ms response time, 160 degree viewing angle, and two 5W speakers.
Quality wise, I don't think it's unfair to say that you get what you pay for. At £279.99, when even a 26-inch set from the likes of Sony, Panasonic or Samsung can cost at least £350, don't expect all the cutting edge features you'd get on them. For the budget-conscious non-videophile consumer, though, it may not be a bad choice.
