Norcent LT-3250 LCD TV

Norcent won’t ring any bells when it comes to televisions, but with its LT-3250, the Norcent brand name may become synonymous with top of the line high-definition television. The Norcent LT-3250 LCD TV gives users rich and vibrant colors with its high-definition image reproduction. The more you use it, the more attractive it gets. The set boasts of it different features and comes in with a resolution of 1366 x 768, with an 8 ms response time, and a 1000:1 contrast ratio.

The set weighs approximately 36-pounds along with its stand. It is designed with sporty silver stripes accenting the edges of the more mundane black bezel. Also, in an interesting design decision, Norcent chose to reveal rather than conceal the TV control buttons on an outcropping on the right side of the monitor.

As for its connectivity, the HDTV is equipped with a digital (ATSC) tuner so you can receive over-the-air (OTA) HD programs, which are broadcast by your local stations. Other lineup includes the HDMI and VGA (15 pin D-Sub) connections, as well as a PC audio input (stereo mini-phone jack). Then come two sets of Component, (PrPbY), video inputs with matching stereo audio (RCA) jacks and two sets of Composite video in connections that include S Video. Finally, one antenna input for Digital TV and another for analog complete the complement. Note that this TV does not provide audio outputs. If you are receiving your signal into the TV directly from an antenna, you cannot route the audio through the TV to a separate sound system.

With the LT-3250, scenes from different shows are satisfyingly saturated and sublimely splendant. The pleasant surprise was how well the LT-3250 handled standard definition video. In other words, the TV produces excellent detail with standard definition resources. As for DVD playback, the TV displays the same rich, full color that was exhibited with the best HD sources. The LT-3250 does have a VGA connection and when hooked up to it, applications looked good and the Internet was fine.

The Norcent LT-3250 wins overall praises for delivering not only a top notch HD image, but also for squeezing SD signals for all they are worth. This HDTV is not without its quirks and it couldn’t be called feature rich. But at this price point, it is a solid performer.
