Does the very mention of the word basketball have your bro perked up? Does he have posters of Michael Jordan’s slam dunk at the old Boston Garden all over the walls of his room? Does he watch nothing but NBA matches in TV? Then there cannot be a more perfect Christmas present for him than the Hannspree Basketball 15” LCD TV. The looks of this TV is bound to make basketball fans, young and old to stop and stare. The LCD TV is enclosed inside a cabinet the shape of a basketball whose skin is made of actual basketball leather complete with pebbling texture and official NBA logo. My, the cabinet looks so much like a real basketball that you have to see to it that your brother does not dribble it away by mistake!
Not just that, the basketball cabinet has the names of every team that made it to the NBA finals since 1947 embossed behind it. This TV can be wall-mounted and also be mounted on a desk using the clamp-on desk stand. The Hannspree Basketball LCD TV has a display resolution of 1024×768 pixels, quoted contrast ratio of 500:1 and a 16 ms response time. Thus pictures and colours are rendered with a clarity and detail that is a tad better than that of Disney’s LCD TVs.
But then, this basketball telly lacks the HDMI port that is present in the Disney Princess LCD TV. Other connectivity options include a 4-in-1 connection cable for S-video, a headphone jack, composite video and audio ports. Stereo speakers of 3Watt each are also present. A standard PAL television tuner is housed along with features like closed captioning and V-chip parental controls. Plus, this LCD TV sports a funky remote control to go with it and is available currently for a price of £377.80. Buck up now, for the most sensational slam dunk ever!
