HANNspree debuts XV LCDs

HANNspree, traditionally known more for its standard-definition sets, is pushing further into the HD realm with its new XV series. While neither its 32- or 37-inch screens have digital tuners, or are 1080p-capable, they have native resolutions up to 1366x768, and are equipped with two HDMI and two SCART ports, among more conventional inputs such as component. Response time is said to be a quick 8ms. The top-end 37-inch set (pictured) has 500cd/m2 brightness and a 1,200:1 contrast ratio, and can also be wall-mounted using a standardized VESA system. Misco is now selling a 32-inch set for £300 ($615). [via Tech.co.uk]
