Sagem Axium HD-L27 - Solid Performer and Good Value for Money
Purchasing a new TV today is an important decision. When you are spending the equivalent of what you used to spend taking the entire family on holiday several years ago it would be wise to ensure any decision made is a wise one.
Given the way technology changes it is essential to try and make sure that your purchase is relatively future-proof.
Television over the years has taken a great number of forms from the old days of analogue Black and White, through the launch of colour television to the latest technologies known as Digital Television (DTT). Other ways have been devised to receive digital television. Among the most familiar to people are digital cable and digital satellite. In some countries where transmissions of TV signals are normally achieved by microwaves, digital MMDS is used.
For the purposes of this article we want to take a look at purchasing a new Flat Screen Television and in this case the television in question is the Sagem Axium HD-L27.
The HD-L27 is a 27in LCD TV and the prices for these are around 1000 pounds sterling or 2000 US dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1280 x 768 and with regards to being HD Ready the answer is yes. The Sagem Axium has 3 (2 RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the HD-L27 uses is DVI and 1. The type of Tuner for this TV is Analogue and the Sagem Axium is available from limited outlets only.
All these points being taken into consideration, how would we view the Sagem Axium HD-L27?
The most obvious place to start with as far as TV's are concerned would be the picture quality and our score here would be 8 out of 10, next we would look at the sound quality and our view of this would be 6 out of 10. Taking a look at the number of relevant connections and their availability, our score would be 10 out of 10. With regards to the overall level of features, our view would be 8 out of 10 and for ease of use and overall value for money we would give it, 8 out of 10 and 8 out of 10 respectively.
The overall verdict would be This is a solid enough Flatscreen TV that comes HD ready and is great value for money. With a performance that would put to shame most of the more expensive offerings we get to play with, this TV from perhaps one of the less well known providers around gets our nod in the value for money and performance stakes. Definitely one not to be ashamed to be caught watching when the neighbours call round at Christmas!
With the wide range and variety of makes and models available for you to choose from it is unlikely that you will not find something to suite your taste or satisfy any budgetary constraints that you might have. The choice, as they say, is completely down to you to decide whether to stay at the forefront of what are rapidly changing technologies and fashion or to remain part of the safer but perhaps better developed mainstream. No matter what rout you take we hope that after reading this article you should be more informed as to the correct choice with which to take.
