It’s the price that astounds the most. A 32-inch HD Ready TV sitting on a shelf labelled £399 might raise the question, “What’s wrong with it?” After all, higher price means higher quality, right? Wrong.

One of the best things about the Evesham Alqemi VX is that it doesn’t look like it should have blue Tesco Value lines running across it. In fact, the usual response we got from visitors was “Nice telly...”

That low-end outlay doesn’t mean the VX skimps on the number of available connections, though. As well as two hi-def HDMI slots, there’s room for two Scart leads, an S-VHS or Composite input and the means to connect your PC.

Those ports are a little fiddly to reach at the back as they sit under the lip. However, the choice available means once you set up your entertainment kit you shouldn’t need to switch connections in and out too often.
