The way that technology changes so quickly nowadays you would be wise to consider carefully any investment and try and ensure that it remains compliant with all possible standards.



Television over the years has taken a great number of forms from the old days of analogue Black and White, through the launch of colour television to the latest technologies known as Digital Television (DTT). There are a number of different ways to receive digital television. One of the oldest means of receiving DTV (and TV in general) is using an antenna (known as an aerial in some countries).

For the purposes of this article we want to take a look at purchasing a new Flat Screen Television and in this case the television in question is the Mirai Cobra T3715C.

The T3715C is a 37in LCD TV and these TV's at present can be found in the region of 720 pounds sterling or 1440 US dollars. The screen resolution is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD Ready the answer is yes. The Mirai Cobra has 3 (2 RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the T3715C uses is HDMI and 1. The type of Tuner for this TV is Analogue and the Mirai Cobra is available from limited outlets only.

So how would we rate the Mirai Cobra T3715C?

The most obvious place to start with as far as TV's are concerned would be the picture quality and our score here would be 4 out of 10, and for the sound quality we would rate it at 6 out of 10. With regards to the availability and number of relevant connections, our score would be 6 out of 10. If we take a look at the overall "featureability" our score would be 4 out of 10 and the final individual verdicts would relate to the ease of use and overall value for money and our scores here would be, 6 out of 10 and 4 out of 10 respectively.

The overall verdict would be that oh dear every batch of TV's being tested has to have one and I'm afraid and this is it. It is really difficult to recomend this TV as no matter what we tried to watch the sound and visuals were very poor quality compared to any of the others on offer.

The fact is that given the wide variety of models and makes available today you should find something that suites your needs as well as your wallet. The choice, as they say, is completely down to you to decide whether to stay at the forefront of what are rapidly changing technologies and fashion or to remain part of the safer but perhaps better developed mainstream. Either way we hope that by reading this short article you should have a slightly more informed view of the options available to you

We ask all readers to remember that the information in this article regarding the price of the TV's are there for illustrative purposes and are meant as a guideline rather than an absolute quote and should be considered thus.
