ONIDA 32HMS LED TV

ONIDA SVELTE 32HMS LED TV

Price: Rs. 45,000

With every other manufacturer jumping aboard the LED bandwagon, Onida too recently stepped on board when they launched their new Svelte series of LED TVs. Is it competitive with big players? Let’s find out.
The new Svelte series come with what Onida calls I-Care technology, which is toughened glass bonded with the LCD panel. This is also further coated with a UV protective film that serves two purposes; one of reducing reflections and the other being protection from UV rays. The glass can also withstand a great deal of force, so if you have kids in the house, this will be added advantage. Onida's entire Svelte lineup features,

·        1920x1080 resolution dual

·        USB2.0 ports capable of playing back DivX HD

·        Surround Sound

·        SRVe Image Engine

·        Contrast ratio - 300000:1

·        Output - 300W

·        Display - LED LCD screen

Design: The TV is fairly slim with a completely flat front. The stand looks unique and attractive.

Performance
The TV is capable of displaying very good colors with good blacks. There wasn't any major backlight bleeding either despite being an Edge-lit LED LCD.

The menu system is very easy to operate even for a novice user and the buttons on the remote respond well.

Along with the standard color options, there are options for Noise Reduction, Flesh Tone, Dynamic Contrast in the Advanced menu.

There isn't any Eco mode however.

In a fully lit room, reflections are still a problem when a dark image or scene is displayed. This is due to the glass panel on the screen.
The TV has various sound modes including an equalizer and a Surround sound option. The sound is certainly loud enough for a medium sized room. The clarity of the sound is just about average.

Although this is good TV with above average performance, it is not competitive enough compared to other brand’s TVs available in the market. At about same price we can get LG 32LE5300 which has the same features of the Onida like DivX HD support, 1080p, etc. In addition to that it also features 120Hz TruMotion, Ambient light sensor, IPS panel, Eco mode and has a total of four HDMI ports.

Digital Birthday Candle

Birthdays have gone digital with the Digital Age Birthday Candle Set. Inspired by digital LED style numbers, you can arrange the red candles in the plastic stands to form the years in digital number format. Works for any age from 1 to 99. Although once people hit 100 they probably can’t see all the candles anyway, so just tell them it says 100. The cool part is that you can reused these over and over. The package includes 26 candles and 2 holders.

iPod Shuffle Headphone

The iPod Shuffles have a relatively small form factor and since there’s no screen to look at, why not have them mounted right onto a set of headphones? That’s exactly what the Elecom Actrail Headphones do, with a spot right on the headphone to put your Shuffle. No wires, no mess. To control the music, just reach up and adjust it by feel. Nice design- these are Japanese imports. These are very cool factor as well as the convenience and style that might just make these worth it for you.

Nokia N8 has everything you can imagine in a phone. Nokia added bundle of features in this one. It is a smartphone which not only look smart but act smart too. Its best feature is it’s 12MP primary camera; but I read some reviews by photographers on internet and they seem to be not happy with its performance. So it is little bothersome when best feature of the phone is not the best. Also the OS Symbian^3 is little sluggish compared to Android. If Nokia is trying to find answer for iPhone this isn’t it.

All in all the phone is great, worth every Rupee you pay for it.
