We like:
Unusual to find 1080p resolution at this screen size and price point; good picture quality; excellent on-screen menus
We don't like:
Strange aspect ratio; dark scenes and motion could be handled better
Also known as:
Hannspree HT09, Hannspree XV HT09-28E1-000
CNET UK judgement:
With 1080p resolution high on many people's wish lists -- no matter how small a screen they're buying -- the Hannspree XV HT09-28E1 looks on paper like a dream come true for cash-strapped hi-def fans. But resolution isn't everything, and the TV has problems in other areas

The lowly sum of £320 or thereabouts wouldn't normally be anywhere near enough to buy a 'Full HD' 1080p, 28-inch LCD TV, but Hannspree's XV HT09-28E1 seems to be the exception to the rule. Before there can be any whooping and punching of air, however, it seems wise to investigate if any corners have been cut to make such a deal possible. Continue Reading...

Great piece of kit, but its price tag will make it unobtainable for most
JVC Xiview LT-42WX70
Interesting attempt at creating an innovative TV, but some of its promised functionality is yet to be realised
