Amazon.com Review:
It's not just enough to take pleasure in TV programming or access your PC with a crisp, clear, flat panel LCD screen. Taiwanese TV maker Hannspree believes that the time has come to integrate this display technology not only into your home, but your lifestyle also. To that end, they have create a large range of creative, playful design concepts from a cello like body to a Los Angeles Lakers colored "jersey" that buck the standard LCD TV/display motif of a screen enclosed by a gray or silver plastic housing. Style is well and good, but that should not be the lone reason to buy an LCD display. Happily, the Hannspree Golf 15" LCD TV's bright display and incorporated features make it worth considering the extra price.

Reviewer's Note: We tested the 15 inch Vaas model, the aforementioned cello shaped model with a faux wood grained plastic cabinet and speakers integrated into the concave side, which we found to be quite easy on the eyes. That said, its video and audio functionality is generally the same as this 15 inch Hannspree model.

The Hannspree gives a composite A/V input for RCA plugs also as a regular RF input for connecting cable or an antenna for access to TV programming. It also has a secondary A/V input that works with the distinctive 4 in 1 cable, which collects the three RCA A/V plugs plus an S Video jack on one end and connects it to the Hannspree with a single jack on the other. A note of caution: Take care to not force the 4 in 1 jack into the TV, as the pins tended to bend easily if they did not make direct contact with their connection. This was easily fixed with many tweezers, but you may want to still use many finesse. It comes with three female/female RCA adapters, enabling you to connect another RCA cable's male ends directly into the Hannspree's 4 in 1 cable.

The screen is quite bright 500 candela per square meter cd/m2 and it is coupled with a alike 500:1 contrast percentage, enabling color to pop quite nicely. It also offers a 16 millisecond ms screen answer time, which makes this display able to keep up with quick moving objects from TV programming and DVD movies without to get all jaggy. At 15 inches, the Hannspree offers a good picture size for standard, 4:3 part percentage TV programming and it is a good size for use in a smaller room. but, for watching DVD movies in widescreen mode, it is best to have the screen closer to you, as we did with the Hannspree set up on our bedside table perfect for late night looking at of Firefly.

But where the Hannspree really shone was as a multi functional home office audio/video center, enabling us to switch from PC using the VGA port to cable TV looking at without missing a beat. It also helped to eliminate many of the clutter from our desk, as the unit's fitted speakers allowed us to eliminate our PC's external speakers. Sound via the Hannspree's speakers was quite good, particularly with the SRS WOW virtual surround sound selected. The Hannspree also will include a line out audio connection, enabling you to connect to a 2.1 or 5.1 channel powered surround sound speaker system.

We were firstly stymied on how to use the Hannspree's speaker system in conjunction with it is PC monitor potential. Connecting to the RCA audio in jacks via a 1/8 inch mini stereo jack from your PC will not work as the AV1 source must be selected, the same goes for using the 4 in 1 A/V cable, which uses the AV2 source. The 1/8 inch jack size is what you will find on a headset jack, and this is the size used for audio out connections on desktops and laptops. but, the answer stared us right in the face the Hannspree has a line in audio connection, which is easily handled with an optional mini to mini cable. but, if you do not have one of these, you may be able to use two mini to RCA cables, connecting them with the included RCA adapters.

The remote control that came with our Vaas review model was Hannspree's generic model, which offers mastery over only the Hannspree TV and no alternatives for other A/V parts. Other models come with different designs, many particular to the TV's design, but all offer the same basic controls, as well as a button to directly access V chip parental controls. It also offers a button marked Auto, which will automatically change the screen parameters to the Hannspree's interior settings from non standard settings activated from your PC.

in general, we were completely impressed with the Hannspree's video and audio potential. At 15 inches, it surely will not replace your major TV, but it is a good addition to an office or bedroom. Plus, its singular design added a personalized touch that's rarely obvious in common LCD TV/displays. Agen G.N. Schmitz Pros:

• Nicely bright screen with good contrast and answer time
• Works just as good as a regular TV as it does a PC monitor
• Clever single jack connector for A/V and S Video plugs
• Integrated speakers supply good sound with SRS virtual surround capability

Cons:

• 15 inch screen size will not do big rooms or widescreen DVD movies justice
• No part video connectivity
