The “odd man out” in terms of aspect ratio in the Daewoo digital LCD television family is the DSL19V1WCD. This model is capable of displaying a 16:10 aspect ratio image at a resolution of 1024 x 768 and with a depth of 16.2 million colors, all visible from a reasonable viewing area of 170-/160-degrees — not bad for a comparatively small LCD model.Connectivity leaves something to be desired with the DSL19V1WCD. Included are only one HDMI port, one VGA input, and one S-Video port — not exactly an overwhelming number of options. But an integrated DVD player, Freeview compatibility, and multi-platform memory card/stick compatibility all make this model worth taking a second look at.

A life expectancy is not given for this model specifically, however the website of a competing manufacturer denotes that modern standards put the lifespan of most models in both the plasma and LCD categories at around 60,000 hours. That comes to just about 360 weeks of continuous use, but that kind of wear is unlikely. If you watch television for four hours per day, seven days a week, a modern digital television set like the DSL19V1WCD should last for roughly 40 years according to my calculations! There will most definitely be new broadcast and display technologies available for mass consumption before these things stop working, barring some kind of defect and assuming that Panasonic’s estimates are correct.

Of course, when it comes to audio, the DSL19V1WCD is not going to turn any heads. Two 3-watt speakers and 6-watt overall audio output ability, the only real high point in the sound department is cross compatibility with NICAM and A2 audio formats.

If you want a 19-inch digital LCD television with deep and rich color expression and high quality sound is optional for you, the DSL19V1WCD is likely a good fit for you.

Extreme economy must have driven the design phase for the Daewoo DSL15T1TD because this digital LCD television is small and Spartan when it comes to features. Even the viewing angle is on the skimpy side, coming in at a disappointing rating of only 140-/125-degrees. Of course, 16.2 million expressible colors give the image a nice depth.This model offers only one aspect ratio, 4:3. But at 15-inches you really wont’ benefit from a larger ratio anyhow. The resolution, at 1024 x 768 is also a bit lower than most competing models. But again, this is a 15-inch display. With in economy always in mind, Freeview compatibility manages to breath a bit of value back into this digital LCD television.

A life expectancy is not given for this model specifically, however the website of a competing manufacturer denotes that modern standards put the lifespan of most models in both the plasma and LCD categories at around 60,000 hours.

Connectivity is another area where value is regained with the DSL15T1TD. There’s one HDMI, one SCART port, a composite AV input, a VGA input, and an S-Video connection. Freeview and Teletext round out the features list nicely for this 15-inch Daewoo LCD model.

The sound package on the DSL15T1TD is also meager. Two 3-watt, stereo speakers and matching outputs give you access to economy audio compatible with both the NICAM and the A2 audio formats. But don’t expect this unit to shake your foundation because with a small television come small speakers. This is an unavoidable fact of life.

If economy and small stature are checked off on your list of buying criteria, Daewoo offers you a viable answer with the DSL15T1TD.

In the 16:9 aspect ratio category Daewoo has a couple of models that might be right for you. The DLT32G1 is one of them. This digital Liquid Crystal Display television is HD Ready and capable of generating a sharp HD image at a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. And the 176-degree viewing area makes this model all the more enticing.The DLT32G1 benefits from some relatively standard features such as NICAM sound and Freeview broadcast content compatibility as well as Picture in Picture operability. However, there are also some staples of digital television tech that seem to be missing, like a digital optical output for high-end surround sound audio systems.

Speaking of sound, there is something about the DLT32G1 that will surprise you in a very positive way. This particular model is equipped to pump out two channels of audio at a whopping 100-watts each! For a television, that is phenomenal audio strength.

And Daewoo didn’t skimp on connectivity with this unit either. Boasting two HDMI ports, two SCART ports, a component video input, an S-Video input, and even PC video connectivity, there’s a whole lot of interconnectivity inside the DLT32G1.

A life expectancy is not given for this model specifically, however the website of a competing manufacturer denotes that modern standards put the lifespan of most models in both the plasma and LCD categories at around 60,000 hours.

This Daewoo digital LCD television is a great 32-inch model with a walloping sound package!

Yet another HD Ready product in the Daewoo digital LCD television category that delivers a 16:9 aspect ratio image at a resolution of 1366 x 768 is the 26-inch DLT26C3FTB. Somewhat small for main viewing rooms, this is an ideal second or third television.

Connectivity is given a robust nod, with one PC AV input connection, one component AV input, composite video in, one HDMI port, two SCART ports, and even an S-Video input giving you a multitude of choices for device and component connections. As if that’s not enough, this television is Freeview compatible for free broadcast content reception.

Two 10-watt speakers present an acceptable power for price compromise and are suited for small to medium sized room applications like a den or library. If you’re the kind who, either out of respect for your neighbor or for love of privacy, likes to use headphones whilst viewing television, you’re in luck. Daewoo has seen fit to provide a stereo headphone connection for your private listening pleasure.

A contender in the small display, 16:9 aspect ration category, the Daewoo DLT20W2 is a good choice for a second or third television and would be right at home in the kitchen or laundry. The 160-/140-degree viewing angle doesn’t compete at the 178-degree level, but at a resolution of 1366 x 768 you will enjoy a satisfactory image even if you have to sit directly in front of the television set!

Connectivity apparently fell pretty low on the design list with the DLT20W2, as the pickings are quite slim. This model comes with only one SCART port, one component video input, a composite video in, and an S-Video port. An HDMI socket is conspicuously missing. This unit is HD Ready so don’t sweat the small stuff too much. After all, if you’re buying a 20-inch display you’re probably on a budget anyway, and feature abundance is not likely your primary buying criteria.

Two 5-watt, stereo speakers and audio outputs come standard on the DLT20W2, a condition that keeps this model sitting squarely in the economy category. If you’re after a bare bones, HD Ready, Digital LCD television set for sporadic and short-term viewing, here is your pick.
