Those of you who are in the market for a sub 21in LCD TV can now expect products which sport all of the technological wizardry with which manufacturers endow their larger premium models.
Consumers should now expect more than just the one HDMI input from a small screen and should also be looking for the latest incarnation of a manufacturers picture processing engine along with an 'HD Ready' resolution.
Panasonic's TX-19LXD8 is typical of a highly specified new breed of small flat panel TV's. Although a 1680 x 1050 gives away its computer monitor heritage, this panel has 2 HDMI inputs, it can accept a 1080p source and comes equipped with Panasonic's Viera 3 picture processing technology. The only negative aspect of the Panasonic is that it does look a little 'utilitarian' alongside some of its competitors.
LG's 19LG3000 also sports 2 HDMI inputs along with an HD Ready (1440 x 900) resolution. The picture processing heart of this panel is one of the latest incarnation's of LG respected picture processing technology, XD Engine. Looking just like a scaled down version of their supremely stylish high end LCD TV's, LG have also added top end features such as their invisible speaker system.
Again, looking like a scaled down version of its 'Hint of Red' bigger brothers, Samsung's stylish LE19A656 sports the Korean manufacturer's highly regarded DNIe picture processing technology. An HD Ready (1440 x 900) resolution is joined by just the single HDMI input.
