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 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 DLT26C3FTB 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.
