Cheapest TV out Hanspree 37" LCD

less2303

Just got mine from BT Shop (£364.60, free delivery).
No gripes at all. alot of TV for the money, didnt have the budget for anything more expensive.
Just one question, has anyone had any trouble setting it up with a PC?
Bought a HDMI-DVI cable, and seperate audio lead, but cannot get the PC screen to show. Have gone into settings and set to `HDMI 1` and also tried `PC` but still no images!
Am I doing something wrong?

The second one (GT02). It has a built in Freeview (digital) tuner. Other than that the specs are pretty much identical.

The JT02 comes in a shiny black casing, which I like but some may find a bit overpowering. The GT02 seems to have a lighter styling which would probably be less dominating in the room. The ebuyer reviewers seem to like in anyway.

On balance then, I would splash the extra £20.

On the Display properties - settings have you tried lowering the resolution or colour quality and chosen the right monitor on the display set of monitors.

Hi everyone and merry christmas!!
We got one of these tvs a few weeks ago and not sure if we have set it up to the best settings, we have set up sky with scart lead and not entirely happy with picture looks blurry close up, dvd are better quality picture, any hints and tips would be good to see if we can improve on picture quality, such as would buying a better quality scart lead improve picture? just using one that came with old tele. and what is hdmi cable that came with it for? thanks in advance jen.

Do have a play around with settings as these make a difference and the factory settings aren't upto much... LCD TV's shouldn't really be viewed too close up, especially with SD (Standard Definition) like sky, freeview, etc - just make sure your Scart is RGB and Sky box is set to RGB too.
HDMI lead is for HD DVD player, upscaling DVD player, PS3, XBOX 360 or any other source that has a HDMI output

Bought the 32" version of this tv a couple of weeks ago from Misco and now getting intermittent crackle sound (single sound but quite often). Anyone else experienced this?

Our leads are perhaps a little short so wonder if it may be the connections but have tried ensuring they are in the sockets properly.

Any views welcome please.

Dreading the start of a major hassle and potential loss of the tv just in time for xmas.

You're probably just noticing the vast difference in picture quality due to the resolution of the new TV.

The picture resolutions of the old CRT TV's were laughably low by comparison to all of this ED/HD stuff and hence broadcast picture quality would look pretty good even from a poor source.
Once you start viewing sources such as DVD's etc the resolution increases and hence appears better on your new LCD TV.

Personally, I think terrestrial analogue (lo-res) TV signals look god awful on LCD or Plasma sets.

You really need to have an HD signal to see the picture quality that you are expecting.

Most of the sites selling this tv has gone up in value but I have found a site with the 37" HannSpree HD Ready LCD TV 16:9 Black XV37 for £329 just waiting for the tv to get into stock. But I dont know if I can trust this site, has anybody brought anything from this site before?
