Quirky German electronics manufacturer HANNspree has unveiled a new series of HD TVs. The conventionally styled ST series features full 1080p HD resolution, HANNspree’s own X-Contrast and X-Celerate technologies, multiple aspect ratios and a 2 x 10-watt audio system.

HANNspree’s X-Celerate technology is claimed to reduce response time to ensure sharper images without motion blur, while X-Contrast delivers high 10,000:1 dynamic contrast by providing darker blacks and brighter whites.

HANNspree also claims picture quality is enhanced by three key performance features: the built-in 3D Comb-Filter and 3D Deinterlace technology which filters out scattered colour signals to produce more saturated colour and lifelike image quality, Digital Noise Reduction to improve the overall clarity and sharpness of a picture, and built-in 3.2:2.2 Pull-down Processing which corrects errors in frame rates to offer smooth, flicker-free pictures. All models have two HDMI 1.3 inputs as well as Scart, component, composite and VGA for PC connection.

The ST range comes in two flavours, the ST51 with 25in screen costs £269, while the 28in ST281 costs £329. Both are available now.
