It's no longer just enough to enjoy TV programming or access your PC with a crisp, clear, flat-panel LCD screen. Taiwanese television manufacturer Hannspree believes that the time has come to integrate this display technology not only into your home, but your lifestyle as well. To that end, they've come up with a wide variety of creative, playful design concepts--from a cello-like body to a Los Angeles Lakers-colored "jersey"--that buck the standard LCD TV/display motif of a screen surrounded by a gray or silver plastic housing. Style is well and good, but that shouldn't be the sole reason to purchase an LCD display. Happily, the Hannspree MLB Redsox Sandlot 15" LCD TV's bright display and incorporated features make it worth considering the extra price.

(Reviewer's Note: We tested the 15-inch Vaas model, the aforementioned cello-shaped model with a faux wood-grained plastic cabinet and speakers integrated into the concave side, which we found to be quite easy on the eyes. That said, its video and audio functionality is essentially the same as this 15-inch Hannspree model.)

The Hannspree provides a composite A/V input for RCA plugs as well as a standard RF input for connecting cable or an antenna for access to TV programming. It also has a secondary A/V input that works with the unique 4-in-1 cable, which collects the three RCA A/V plugs plus an S-Video jack on one end and connects it to the Hannspree with a single jack on the other. (A note of caution: Take care to not force the 4-in-1 jack into the TV, as the pins tended to bend easily if they didn't make direct contact with their connection. This was easily fixed with some tweezers, but you should still use some finesse.) It comes with three female/female RCA adapters, enabling you to connect another RCA cable's male ends directly into the Hannspree's 4-in-1 cable.

The screen is quite bright--500 candela per square meter (cd/m2)--and it's coupled with a similar 500:1 contrast ratio, enabling color to pop quite nicely. It also offers a 16 millisecond (ms) screen response time, which makes this display able to keep up with quick-moving objects from TV programming and DVD movies without getting all jaggy. At 15 inches, the Hannspree offers a good picture size for standard, 4:3 aspect ratio TV programming and it's a fine size for use in a smaller room. However, for watching DVD movies in widescreen mode, it's best to have the screen closer to you, as we did with the Hannspree set up on our bedside table--perfect for late-night viewing of Firefly.

But where the Hannspree really shone was as a multi-functional home office audio/video center, enabling us to switch from PC (using the VGA port) to cable TV viewing without missing a beat. It also helped to eliminate some of the clutter from our desk, as the unit's built-in speakers allowed us to eliminate our PC's external speakers. Sound via the Hannspree's speakers was quite good, especially with the SRS WOW virtual surround sound selected. The Hannspree also includes a line-out audio connection, enabling you to connect to a 2.1- or 5.1-channel powered surround sound speaker system.

We were initially stymied on how to utilize the Hannspree's speaker system in conjunction with it's PC monitor capabilities. Connecting to the RCA audio-in jacks via a 1/8-inch mini stereo jack from your PC won't work as the AV1 source has to be selected; the same goes for using the 4-in-1 A/V cable, which uses the AV2 source. (The 1/8-inch jack size is what you'll find on a headphone jack, and this is also the size used for audio-out connections on desktops and laptops.) However, the answer was staring us right in the face--the Hannspree has a line-in audio connection, which is easily handled with an optional mini-to-mini cable. However, if you don't have one of these, you can use two mini-to-RCA cables, connecting them with the included RCA adapters.

The remote control that came with our Vaas review model was Hannspree's generic model, which offers mastery over only the Hannspree TV and no options for other A/V components. Other models come with different designs, some specific to the TV's design, but all offer the same basic controls, including a button to directly access V-chip parental controls. It also offers a button marked Auto, which will automatically adjust the screen parameters to the Hannspree's internal settings from non-standard settings activated from your PC.

Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with the Hannspree's video and audio capabilities. At 15 inches, it certainly won't replace your main television, but it's a good addition to an office or bedroom. Plus, its singular design added a personalized touch that is rarely apparent in typical LCD TV/displays. --Agen G.N. Schmitz Pros:

Nicely bright screen with good contrast and response time
Works just as good as a standard TV as it does a PC monitor
Clever single-jack connector for A/V and S-Video plugs
Integrated speakers provide good sound with SRS virtual surround capability

Cons:

15-inch screen size won't do large rooms or widescreen DVD movies justice
No component video connectivity

Amazon.com Product Description

Enter your own stadium every time you switch on a Boston Red Sox game with this uniquely designed 15-inch LCD TV, which is enclosed in a cabinet that resembles a domed stadium--complete with baseball diamond-patterned control buttons. It features a rubber-bottomed stand, Red Sox accent colors along the side, and official team and MLB logos. It offers a standard NTSC television tuner and such features as V-chip parental controls and closed captioning, and it can double as a PC monitor.

This state-of-the-art LCD TV offers consistent color tone, clear contrast values, and natural, life-like details. The 15-inch screen has an 1024 by 768-pixel resolution, 4:3 aspect ratio (fine for standard TV transmissions and pan-and-scan video), and a 150-degree horizontal viewing angle. The screen has a very fast 16 millisecond (ms) response time (important for fast-moving sports programming), brightness rating of 500 cd/m2 (candela per square meter), and a 500:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.)

The 3D Y/C digital comb filter analyzes consecutive scanning lines within a field as well as the preceding and following fields. This results in improved detail and color purity, a more stable video image, and nearly eliminating dot crawl and color bleeding. Other features include DCDi (Directional Correlation Deinterlacing) digital enhancement for improvement of low-resolution images, highly accurate 10-bit video processing, and ADC and gamma correction technologies. The screen has an estimated lamp life of 50,000 hours, which translates to over 20 years with six hours of usage per day.

This TV has a pair of built-in stereo speakers that produce 2 watts per channel (4 watts total) and is compatible with SRS WOW virtual surround sound. It includes a 4-in-one video input--which accepts S-Video and RCA A/V connections--as well as a regular A/V input and RF input, enabling you to easily hook up a DVD player or VCR. Additionally, this set includes a D-Sub 15-pin input for connecting to a PC, enabling you to use this set as a computer display. It also provides a headphone jack for private viewing. It comes with an easily gripped, contoured remote control.

Product Description

The SL-SW950K SHOCKWAVE portable CD player is a great companion on the go. Like all other SHOCKWAVE CD players, it is ultra-tough and has a compact, water-resistant design. It is equipped with a one-touch lock & release system, which is designed to keep the top cover of the player firmly attached, even under rugged conditions.

SHOCKWAVE portable CD players feature Power Last function, which makes two standard AA batteries last exceptionally long. However, there are also other ways to operate these portable CD players. Two economical options are using rechargeable batteries, or an AC adapter, which lets you plug your portable CD player into an outlet.

And no matter what power source you use, the auto-power off function shuts off your player once your CD ends. You can enjoy listening to CDs that you make, since these portable CD players enable playback of CD-R and CD-RW discs. The classic-style headphones, included with the SL-SW950K, are extremely light and deliver spectacular stereo sound. You can program SHOCKWAVE CD players to play a CD at random, in a specified order, or to repeat one song or the whole disc, letting you enjoy your favorite tunes in any order. S-XBS gives your music an added bass boost for fuller sound. The SL-SW950K features a grip that lets you hold the CD player snugly in your hand, so it won't slip out when you are on the go. The SL-SW950K comes with an AC adapter.

Amazon.com Product Description

Now you've got a CD player you can take on the road or to the gym--and one that happens to look great, too. Panasonic's ultra-tough SL-SW950K Shockwave portable CD player sports a heat-resistant, polycarbonate body for outdoor use. Further, it's equipped with a one-touch lock-and-release system designed to keep the player's top cover securely attached regardless of your activity. And, it's water-resistant. Don't immerse it in a pool or tub, but don't let a light rain deter you from that morning jog, either.

The player has been designed to virtually eliminate skipping under normal and most active listening conditions. Panasonic's Digital Servo system assures precise focus servo and tracking servo operation for high vibration resistance. However, if a shock does occur, you'll enjoy 48 seconds of backup memory to help your music continue as if nothing happened.

With just two AA batteries (not included), the SL-SW950K will give you up to 40 hours of playback time. This feature is not only economical, but also environmentally friendly, since it reduces battery consumption. Alternatively, you may power the player using an optional 4.5V AC/DC adapter.

Other conveniences include a hold switch (which negates state changes during transport or listening), playback of recordable CD-R and CD-RW discs, 24-track programming, random play, repeat play (one track or an entire disc), S-XBS (Extra Bass System) to give your music an added bass boost, Train mode high-frequency reduction for less fatiguing--or simply less conspicuous--listening, and a pop-up eject system to simplify disc removal.

Customer Reviews:

Perfect.......2005-08-26

I print alot of photo's, and got tired of paying the highest prices for Epson cartridges, so i tried Rhinotek. I am quite impressed there is no difference in quality, the only difference is in the price.

Rhinotek disappointment.......2003-08-03

This color ink has been a disappointment from beginning to end. I wouldn't even give it a 1 star rating. The color has never been anywhere near true. I have even taken it out to shake it around thinking maybe the ink was dry but that didn't help. I would never purchase this item again. I'll stick to true Epson ink as expensive as it is. You get what you pay for.

Good Product.......2001-07-07

I print a lot of family photos, so I go through ink cartridges really fast. I tried Rhinotek, because I wanted to save money. They're great. I couldn't tell a difference.
