The television also comes with a DVB-T Freeview receiver and this pulled in the full range of channels – something we’ve had trouble with from other Freeview kit thanks to a less-than-perfect aerial connection. The 8W speakers running down the sides of the screen are also ample for the home if you don’t have a dedicated sound system.

Like most hi-def TVs, the VX does have the unfortunate result of showing up how rubbish standard definition channels are. This is particularly true during football matches, with all the pixelated green on show. That is reduced for HD content, but some noise is retained on similar shots.

However, Evesham says the Alqemi VX boasts an eight-millisecond response time, reducing “smearing” on fast action scenes. Certainly in our experience fast-moving images were reproduced with barely any ghosting.

Overall, if you’re thinking about getting your first foothold in the HD arena, look no further. With the picture quality, the amount of connections and the 32-inches of screen, this is definitely a recommended buy.

Verdict: 9/10
