While Evesham's
47-inch LCD TV may have a long list of niceties that would surely bring a smile to any HD addict's face, the rather hefty pricetag might just scare a few folks away. Apparently making sure that its got the low and mid-range customers covered as well, Evesham is busting out a bevy of new displays at much lower price points. The Alqemi lineups boasts 32-, 37-, and 42-inch panels, with all five sporting WXGA resolutions, 8-millisecond response time, 500 cd/m2 brightness, 1000:1 contrast ratio (save for the bottom-end's curiously high 1200:1 spec), and integrated stereo speakers. Evesham further segregates the models by offering a low-end 32-inch version (peep a pic after the jump) with the bare necessities (
HDMI, component / S-Video / composite, VGA, and an analog tuner) for £499 ($970), while offering mid-range units with
DVB-T / analog hybrid tuners (with Digital Tick support), and a 42-inch flagship (Alqemi SX; pictured after the break) that boasts PIP and Virtual Dolby surround sound. Evesham's budget lineup tops at £1,399 ($2,718), with the mid-range units ranging from £599 ($1,164) to £899 ($1,747), and can be picked up now on the
other side of the pond.

I think I may have found my next TV.
It's definatly nice to see new products from a UK based electronics company. Rather smart looking as well.

That's a bargain?
Just got my friend the 42" 1080p Westinghouse LCD for $1400.
I guess we have it pretty good over here, HD-wise.

Everything from CDs to computer hardware is more expensive on this side of the pond. Just look at the mark up's on the Wii over here, the RRP is $100 more then in the US.
Sucks to be European :(

I wish they imported them to the US, because those look like nice sets. With the exchange rate they would be a little pricier for us Yanks, though.

This looks like a lovley set, think this will be my 1st HDTV. Us english are bit behind on the uptake of HDTV's but i think with prices dropping to 499 for a 32inch hd set like this i think things mite be on the up, im looking at this for my 360 and hd content of my pc. If anyone could give me links to customer reviews or any advice about this set it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
