DLP-42C1 – 40″ Widescreen HD Ready LCD TV from Daewoo

Daewoo LCD TV fulfills two of the dreams that everybody ever expects out of an LCD TV. The TV looks as good as a piece of art and also delivers near perfect pictures. Every facet has been considered to match style with performance. The TV is compact, light, multi functional and stylish.
In the following review we will find out how Daewoo’s DLP42C1  42″ Widescreen HD Ready LCD TV fares.

Daewoo DLP42C1 42 inch LCD TV

Decent Design:

Daewoo is not a brand name that you would think of associating with an LCD TV, and honestly speaking, we too were a bit sceptical ourselves when we first unpacked the hefty packaging of the 42″ LCD television. Inside was the TV that lives up to the introduction that we had given. In fact, it was just as good as any other 42″ LCD TV in the market; big, black aside from the silver Daewoo badge in the center, you can easily mistake it for a LCD TV from any other manufacturer. The DLP42C1 comes with a fairly large base stand and an intelligently laid out remote control.

Good set of features:

When it comes to the features, the Daewoo DLP42C1 Widescreen LCD TV has tried its best to offer most of the “goods” in the market. The TV possesses a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels with a claimed 8ms response time. The TV is capable of displaying about 1.08 billion colours. It features an integrated HD tuner with connections for pretty much everything you would expect in a LCD TV of this budget, along with a HDMI socket and two SCART interfaces.

Surprising performance:

Hence, with a decent design and reasonable specifications, we were not expecting too much from the Daewoo’s DLP42C1 42 LCD TV. Truly speaking, the performance of the TV came in as a real pleasant surprise. The TV had a well constructed output and the HD performance was acceptable. We would say that the default setting of the TV is a little bit too garish for most of the movie material, too much of anything is never good. Most of the material is too bright for realism.

Warranty:

Daewoo is so confident with its product that it offers its 42″ DLP42C1 LCD TV a whooping three years warranty for parts and labour.

Verdict:

With a budget asking price, the Daewoo DLP-42C1 HD Ready LCD TV is a real good deal. Though it is not a brand that is best known for LCD TVs, its three year warranty offers good value for money, bringing in another quality competitor to the shelves for the UK consumers, which can only be a good news for anybody wanting a competitively priced LCD TV.
