Hannspree ST289 MUB Review # 1

I am sorry, but every time i would read a review that people have written about this Hannspree ST289 MUB giving it a rating less than 5 stars i say to myself, "What an idiot." Not because i thought differently about the tv (i didn't even own it yet), it was because after my research of the Hannspree website i found the tv has a very good aspect ratio control feature. I thought all the people were idiots because they rated this product lower than 5 stars because they were too dumb to change their aspect ratio. I was right, in fact this tv has a setting called "wide" meaning wide screen and so a 16:9 aspect ratio. I bought the tv and really hate everyone who is willing to call themselves a technophile or is even reviewing product with what seems very little experience dealing with the product. This tv has 16:10 so people can more easily view the screen like a computer's when a computer is hooked up. Hannspree is just trying to make themselves known and offer a very affordable excellent quality tv. Hannspree even makes their own lcd panels. None of the big manufacturers do that (Sony, LG...). Hannspree even gives you an HDMI. Now you may be thinking, "it is probably a cheap, slow, one foot long HDMI cable". No... this is a six foot long HIGH SPEED HDMI that if i could review seperately i would award it a 5/5 also. I'm a real person just like you. I don't work for Hannspree and don't plan to. I am a sixteen year-old technophile writing this review on my mom's account.

Hannspree ST289 MUB Review # 2

My rating is relative to other TV's & Monitor's I've owned. This Hannspree ST289 MUB is the biggest screen I've ever had. The picture is excellent, the setup was very easy, and it is very nice looking. It was shipped promptly, and arrived with all parts as advertized by TigerDirect (purchased through Amazon). There were no dead pixels, etc.

We use Hannspree ST289 MUB primarily as a TV...hooked to Comcast Cable. We have watched DVD movies on it (no BluRay), watched a slideshow of our new grandson via USB Thumbdrive, streamed a movie from netflix (via Nintendo Wii), and used it as a PC Monitor. It has worked flawlessly, and looked sharp in every instance.

I am NOT a highly qualified reviewer...i.e. little experience with HDTV's, etc. Having said that, I am a very technically oriented person (USMC electronics, Network Administrator, Major Telecom provider technician) and can say without equivocation that I would buy another of these in a heartbeat. I very well may become a fanatic for Hannspree. ;-)
