Sound
Sound in the 55HK25T74U is on a good level. With 2x 10W stereo speakers one can easily go without any external sound system. But of course as we often say, if you want proper TV and cinema experience at home, better invest in quality surround sound system.

Smart TV
Hitachi 55HK25T74U is a smart TV with built-in WiFi connection. It is not an Android television but Netflix and YouTube apps are on stand-by.

Price
The current price varies around £400 (in UK). We believe it is affordable but still a bit higher than expected. If you are serious about buying the Hitachi 55HK25T74U  you better wait for the upcoming Black Friday week and see what price you can get.

Since we consider Hitachi televisions to be mostly budget oriented, here is a quick video guide for the recommended cheap TVs for 2020:

Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV review

By
Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV price, specs and review Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A  Full HD LED TV Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A review - today at our consumer blog we are going to take a look at one of the latest 42-inch Sony Full HD TVs which offers great picture quality and will suit best everyone who needs an excellent home cinema experience without 3D effects. Sony Bravia KDL-42W650 is still not very popular around the world and the reason for that is not the lack of quality or functions which this TV is fully packed with but because of the fact that the  KDL-42W650/ KDL-42W650A is mostly going to be sold in Eastern Europe and some parts of Asia. Of course you can find this TV in other countries as well but it is still not presented in huge markets like UK and USA.

By
Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3: Flaw Fixed, Efficiency Gained Hey everyone, and welcome back! I was excited to finally get my hands on the third generation of the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 . As many of you know, I spent a good amount of time with the Gen 2, and while it was a solid business machine, there were definitely a few things that needed attention. This is my very first look at the Gen 3, and I wanted to share my initial feedback on what’s improved and what hasn’t. The E16 Gen 3 I’m reviewing here is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, shared Intel graphics, and 32GB of RAM.
