Cello C42T71DVB-3D 42in passive 3D TV

Video capture

The set can also record TV direct to an external USB drive. These recordings are DRM-free, in .ts format. I played them back using a different media player without problem - not something you can do with A-league brand screens that offer similar functionality.

At 107mm, this 3D panel shows depth in more ways than one


Verdict



I came to this Cello intrigued but ultimately left unconvinced. The lack of a Freeview HD tuner is an immediate deal breaker – and for a budget brand, its on-line price (variable between £475 and £599) still seems optimistically high. The set’s USB playback and recording functionality is refreshingly good though. ®
