STARTS

Home electronics brand Akai has today launched its L8 Series range of LCD televisions, consisting of 19", 22" and 42" models. Boasting a host of features, Akai's L8 Series provides an affordable LCD offering for the living room, bedroom or child's playroom.

Engineered from advanced technology, all screens use a high-quality LCD panel for improved image clarity and sharpness, with the 42" featuring full high definition 1080P technology for superior picture quality.

Each L8 model also includes an integrated HD digital tuner, allowing users to watch free-to-air HD channels in crisp detail. Its sleek, piano black housing also incorporates a range of connections, including a HDMI input, S-Video, and composite video, as well as a PC input to easily connect to a personal computer.

Both the 19" and 22" models provide a convenient in-built DVD player and 3-in-1 card reader, giving consumers instant movie and image viewing. The L8 range also boasts USB connectivity, enabling the LCD to become a digital photo frame - on a grand scale. Users simply insert a USB flash drive to enjoy their favourite digital images on the LCD's vibrant screen.

The Akai L8 Series LCD range will be shipping from August 2008, available from selected retailers from September 2008.
