Many that have Digital TV now say they can't do without it. The pleasure to be derived from watching as many channels as one wants is probably the reason why many can't imagine doing without a Digital TV subscription. Aside from the many channels that Digital TV has, there are lots of other reasons why it's preferred than Cable TV.

Digital TV takes it lots of steps further not just with access to the usual channels but also access to the right information. From traditional channels, information channels, movie channels, etc, Digital TV offers alot. I wish I was a still a child during this age of Digital TV as I could have access to as many of the channels they now have access to.

There are many reasons why Digital TV is a "can't-do-without" in most homes but one of the major reasons is affordability. Subscribers can easily pay for Digital TV subscription than they can pay for Cable TV. People just can't come to grips with this reality. Have you ever seen where something delivers more than the competition, yet costs less?

It certainly makes no sense to keep paying more money yet receiving less. No subscriber will deny that the most important reason why they love their Digital TV subscription is because of the "variety" of channels they are presented with. From comedy channels, movie channels, drama channels, information channels, etc, you have lots of channels to choose from and watch. This can't be compared with the normal Cable TV that doesn't come with such variety.

Having discussed the impact that Digital TV has had on our lives how does this impact upon the JVC LT-20DA6SK Digital TV.

The LT-20DA6SK is a 20in LCD TV and these TV's at present can be found in the region of 400 pounds sterling or 800 US dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD Ready the answer is no. The JVC has 2 (1 RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the LT-20DA6SK uses is HDMI and no connections are available. The type of Tuner for this TV is Analogue and Digital and the JVC is available from a wide variety of outlets.

So given this information, what would be our view of the JVC LT-20DA6SK?

Well to start with our score for the picture quality is 10, next we would look at the sound quality and our view of this would be 8. Taking a look at the number of relevant connections and their availability, our score would be 6. With regards to the overall level of features, our view would be 6 and for ease of use and overall value for money we would give it, 8 and 6 respectively.

Finally our overall opinion would be that there may well be a good TV hiding under the naff design and exterior and even more so now that it has come down in price to make it even more appealing.

It is extremely unlikely given the variety and range of makes and models available that you will not be able to find something to match your tastes or budget. You could be completely avant-garde and stay in the forefront of fashion and design or you could decide to take perhaps the safer option and go for one of the established makes and models available. Either way we hope that by reading this short article you should have a slightly more informed view of the options available to you
