The main feature of this TV is that it’s 3D enabled, it comes with a set of 4 passive 3D glasses – these are similar to what you use at the cinema. And it’s ready out of the box for 3D viewing. The 42 inch screen is big enough to give a convincing 3D effect, however please don’t expect the same quality of picture as you’d get with a more expensive 3DTV, compromises have been made by Digihome in order to keep to a low price point.

Design and build quality

Build quality is fine, the border around the screen is a little on the thick size, but with its black finish, you don’t really notice it. It’s relatively slim and can be hung on a wall.

Screen

The 42 inch screen provides a full 1080p HD experience, the resolution of which is 1920 x 1080. To be honest, the picture quality isn’t the best, it’s a bit fuzzy in places, but after a while you do get used to it. 3D viewing is ok, buy again, a lot of other 3D TVs offer a better viewing experience. In all honesty, only consider this TV if 3D is a must, and your budget won’t stretch an extra couple of hundred pounds for a more expensive TV.

Technical Specifications

The Digihome LCD42913FHD3D does shine with the number of ports it offers, being:

• HDMI
• VGA input
• Digital audio output
• 2 SCART connections
• USB input – so you’re able to connect a USB HDD (or device) and watch movies from it.

Note that the installed Freeview tuner is the normal Freeview SD tuner, not the Freeview HD version.

Summary

If you want a 42 inch 3D TV and have less than £300 to spend, then this TV will provide you with the goods. However, the picture quality will be bettered if you’re able to spend more cash.
