ACER-OWNED FLOGGER of hardware Packard Bell has released a couple of computer monitor and TV displays called Maestro TVs.
The 21.5-inch Maestro 220 TV and 24-inch Maestro 240 TV both have full HD LED-backlit TV with 1980×1080 resolution. Packard Bell has gone for the ole widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio that the great unwashed can’t get enough of – despite the fact it displays less screen space and is a pain to work on.
We don’t blame Packard Bell for giving them want they want, but the world would be a better place if vendors gave people things they need but don’t know they need rather than things they think they want that they don’t.
Both of the Maestro TVs have exactly the same screen technology with a 5ms response time to appease gamers and come with two HDMI connectors so you can plug consoles. Packard Bell has also bundled a reasonably wide array of ports so the Maestro TVs should be good to go for most multi-media eventualities.
Round the back they have a coaxial connector for digital sound, SCART, VGA, PC Audio-in and component connectors. Packard Bell said the cabling was designed to be tucked around the back, keeping it relateily tidy. There’s even a USB connection you can plug a key in and record TV on to. Both Maestro TVs also come with a hybrid TV-tuner. The tuner is compatible with HD TV and MP4 playback over Pal or SECAM.
The Maestro 220 TV and Maestro 240 TV are out now but Packard Bell hasn’t quoted a price on them. Given that Packard Bell likes to aim most of its hardware for Saturday buyers in Dixons, we suspect that they won’t cost too much
