Earlier, TVs were very big in size and were confined to a particular place. But now the tables have turned as the new technologies came into picture. Technology has helped in making electronic goods execute more than just one function. As a result of it, not only the TVs became more chic and portable but they also have become multipurpose. In the recent past, features and extra options that were introduced by various companies made them more than just televisions. The outward aspect of these televisions has completely changed. Hence, this has led to the rise of new levels of competition among the prime producers of televisions all around the globe.

Sanyo has been one of such companies that are striving to keep their positions in this great tussle of producing the latest and the most qualitative televisions. It has been one of those who have been underrated and its potential has remained undiscovered for a long time. To put an end to all this and in a view of renovating the reputation it has had in the past, Sanyo has announced that its well equipped LCD television, the CE22LD90DV-B is all in readiness to hit the LCD TV market. This has popped up a few questions from the critics in the beginning relating to its consistency in its performance and its ability to attract the public, but it has managed quite well to answer almost all of them. It also came up with new features like Built-in DVD and the Digital Tuner. Here is a thematic description that may give you a bird’s eye view of this TV from Sanyo.

Sanyo CE22LD90DV-B LCD TV

Design:

Neatly Designed:
The overall design of the CE22LD90DV-B is quite normal for an LCD TV. Looking at it on the outset, it gives you an impression that there is nothing so special about it. But if you take a closer look and examine it, you will find that it has been engineered quite well and that there is something special. It is perfectly sleek for an LCD television. The piano black colour makes it more attractive to look at. The edges are not perfectly smooth but they do not slew as well. An important thing here is that the Sanyo  CE22LD90DV-B LCD TV has a removable stand. So, you can stand the TV on the table as usual. But if you want to affix it to your wall, you can always do so by manually removing the stands. This removal process is as easy as chewing a candy. So you do not need to wait for an expert.

It measures about 532 mm in width, 347 mm in height and 60 mm in depth (without the stands) and so, you can hang it to the wall as if it is a photo frame and comfortably watch it sitting in the couch in your living room or while cooking in the kitchen. But when you put in on the TV stand, its support stands increase its dimensions. Another important feature when it comes to the design part of it is that it looks perfect for a monitor of your computer. Overall, the design is very estimable.

The LCD Screen:
This is the most important part of the TV as the first thing anybody expects from their TV is more than good display. The CE22LD90DV-B’s 22 inch widescreen HD Liquid Crystal Display is very commendable and Sanyo has particularly attended to the viewing angles of the display. The CE22 has very good viewing angles and this means that your pictures are very candid even if you are watching from different angles. This is sweet news for the big families. It means that all of them can sit and watch the TV without any complaints regarding the disruption of the pictures. The 1366 x 768 pixel screen resolution and 400 cd/m2 brightness level gives you an excellent picture quality. In addition to these, the 8000:1 contrast ratio helps you in giving crisp and vivid pictures, almost equal to those you see in the HD movies. When you try to compare the display of the CE22 with the other contenders in the market, you will find that this one is not behind many, as it is as good as any other TV, except the Sony and Samsung LCDs which are on the top of the list. So, it is guaranteed that you always experience digital video performance from the CE22’s Display.

Features:

Since Sanyo started the production of televisions, it has always introduced new features every time a new one is released. Each one of them has been very well appreciated by its customers and they are also interesting. Though in the past, Sanyo has introduced some features that are of no big use, it is now using a lot of technology in its features and hence receiving compliments from its users. This time around, Sanyo has tried few new features that really made the CE22 more utile than ever before.

DVD Player:
When the news broke out that the Sanyo CE22LD90DV-B is coming with an in-built DVD player, it has surprised many. It was thought that a TV with an in-built DVD player may look awkward and that the DVD player may also not work well and ultimately you will have to use an external DVD player to play your movies and videos. But every remark of this sort turned to be wrong as Sanyo has managed very well in placing an in-built DVD player inside the TV. This player is positioned at the top on the left hand side of the TV. All you need to do is just place the disc you want to play into the slot provided there and, just enjoy watching your favourite movies or videos or pictures. It is a good thing that a slot is provided instead of the conventional system. This ensures that the discs do not fall off while inserting. Since you do not need an external DVD player, it means that you do not need any connections and wires. So, you can save a lot of space and also make the TV more portable. You can also carry this TV anywhere and then you can play your favourite videos wherever you want; be it in the bedroom or at the backyard. Hence, this ends up being the best, most surprising and the most attractive feature of all.

Digital Tuner:
The new Digital tuner introduced by Sanyo helps you in tuning the channels digitally. The previous TVs from Sanyo have analogue versions of it, but as the world knows, digital always has an edge over the analogue. So, from now onwards, you can tune your channels easily. This one is also simple and very easy to set up and then to use.

FreeView:
The FreeView menu is candid and also user friendly. This menu has all the options in it for you to choose from. All the functions of the TV are displayed in this FreeView menu. It enables you to choose between the features and options that are needed to be function. The very look of this menu attracts the users and the way it functions also makes it a good feature.

Picture in Picture:
This is one of the most common and illustrious features nowadays. You will see this feature on most of the TVs at present because it has proved its importance. This one first featured in computers and video games but of late, it has been imbibed by the televisions also. It certainly enhances the performance of the TV owing to the reason that it can play multiple channels on the screen at a time. So, while watching sports, you can also simultaneously view the headlines in the news channels. In a way it allows the option for multi viewing.

Broadcast:
The Sanyo CE22LD90DV-B Widescreen LCD TV has both the digital and the analogue broadcasting facilities. They both have the option for full auto tuning. This means that everything is tuned automatically by the TV itself and it leaves out nothing for you to attend to. All you need to do is select the option for auto tuning and then watch all your favourite channels. The channel swap feature does not need any introduction as it is not a very uncommon feature now because you see it every TV in the market. The Auto Logical Channel sort function is there to sort the channels on your TV and then arrange them in a nice order. You can also select the option for manual sorting of the channels so that you can choose the order of the channels according to your wish. The TV can sort out about 200 analogue channels and at the same time, 100 digital channels. In the end, you have three hundred channels in all to watch.

Picture Options:
The colour temperature control feature enables you to choose between the four options available. The temperature of the colour refers to the shades that add to the picture colour. Other than the normal temperature, you can choose the colour tone of the pictures you see on the TV. If the option is set to warm, then the pictures appear as if they are captured in sunny conditions. If the option is set to cold, then it means that the pictures look as if they are captured in a rather cool and cloudy atmosphere. These options are there to correct the colour intensity of a particular channel because sometimes the colour of the pictures in a particular channel may not seem good to the eyes. The less the temperature of the pictures, the better they are to your eyes. There is no wide picture mode but there is the Auto Wide Picture selection feature so that you have the option to choose the width of the picture, either normal or wide. The Picture selection mode allows you to choose between the four options that change the modes of watching the pictures on your TV. These four options, namely; Eco, Dynamic, Natural and Cinema, change the screen colour and picture options accordingly.

Miscellaneous:
The Timer is a very common feature of the modern TVs. This is helpful in saving power and is also similar to the sleep mode that is featured in televisions and computers. There are two options; namely the off timer and the on timer. This means that you can set the time after which the TV is switched off and on automatically. The Child Lock option is another feature that helps in locking the channels so that the children cannot access them. There is a USB terminal in the TV so that you can watch media by just plugging in the USB drive. There are also slots for the HDMI cables.
Overall, the features section of the TV is hunky dory and will certainly attract many a customer.

Performance:

Video Performance:
However great are the features, the first and the foremost thing anyone would expect from a TV is a very good performance, because the basic element of a TV is its performance. Otherwise, if this aspect is not taken care of, any TV under the sun will not be a complete one. Sanyo has kept this in mind and it also seemed to have corrected the subtle errors that were seen in its previous TVs. This time around, everything seems to be almost perfect from Sanyo. The pictures on the CE22 are great. Every picture is of DVD quality and is crystal clear. The pictures on the other LCDs are not as qualitative as on this one. The 3D Comb filter and the SD definition features sharpen the pictures and give you digital video output. Although there are not many options, the picture quality of the CE22 is absolutely fine. When you play HD movies on your TV, it gives you stupefying video performance, making you feel that you are watching the movies in the cinema.

Audio Performance:
To make the videos look greater, you need a good audio performance too. The sounds are great from the Sanyo CE22LD90DV-B 22-inch HD Ready LCD TV. They back up the pictures very well. The Digital Audio performance gives you sound outputs that are of high definition quality. There are two speakers in all, each of 6 W. There are two stereo systems that help in enhancing the audio performance. They are the A2 stereo and the NICAM stereo. These two features make up for the absence of the subwoofer and the Bass Enhancer. There is also a headphone jack that is provided in case if you want to hear the sounds through a headphone. The automatic volume controller automatically manipulates the loudness of the sounds of a particular channel because all the channels may not have the same sound levels. The sound systems that are used are BG-DK-II’, BG-DK-LL’. The quality of the sounds is so good that the TV can be used as a radio all day. So, on the whole, the audio performance of the CE22 is fantabulous.

Talking about a few other miscellaneous points, the response time of the CE22 is very commendable. The plug and play option, the EPG and the OFDM Demodulation only enhance the performance of the Sanyo CE22. So, with these and also with also the features and the options that are discussed above, you are assured of an excellent performance from it.

Power Consumption:
A power supply of 220-240 V and 70 W is required. There is a standby mode that will be automatically on if the TV is not used for a long time after it is switched on. In this mode, only 1 W of power is consumed, hence saving power and also your money. When verified with the other TVs in the market, the power consumed by the CE22 is considerably less.

Warranty:

Sanyo offers parts and labour warranty for a period of 1 year. You can also extend this warranty period by visiting the official website and then subscribing there.

Verdict:

The CE22 has been one of the dazing TVs in the recent past. It has come out with good design and its customisability makes it a tailor made TV for any place. The removable stands make it much more customisable. The easy options also make it very user friendly. The display has been one of the prime features of the CE22. The Widescreen HD LCD display is very good and the viewing angles are pretty much the best from Sanyo. This is a TV that suits family viewing better than many others. Then there come the features that are so unique and exhilarating. The best of the features is the built in DVD player. It is sure that this feature is definitely going to allure many customers. All the remaining features were also very good. The performance levels of the CE22 are excellent. With all the exciting features that are there, you would expect the performance to be below par but it is not the case with the CE22. The features add to the performance of the TV. Both the picture quality and the sound quality are great and you will experience a theatrical experience with the HD pictures and the digital sounds. Taking these and everything else into consideration, the CE22 is a very good and a buyable TV that makes your home more lively and turns your home into a cinema.
