Monday, November 24th 2008 - 12:45 CET - Comments: 0

L G is one of the leading manufacturers of cell phones, air conditioners, washing machines, optical storage products, DVD players, flat screen television screens and Home Theatre systems. The 'Digital Media' department deals with 'Mobile Entertainment Devices' or in other words; portable media players. LG has been rewarded many times with an EISA Award for the best product, like their first MP3 player featuring a touch screen. The LG T80 is one of its siblings. The LG T80 PMP was designed by the same designer that designed the Prada cell phones. We have extensively tested the LG T80 in practice.

DVB-T functionality on the LG T80 PMP

The LG T80 media player features DVB-T enabling you to watch television whenever a digital TV signal is available. Watching television on the screen is a joy to the eye. It feels like watching television on a screen that is clearer than your analogue TV, or even clearer than some computer screens. Since the signal is digital, there is no annoying noise or delay in transmission; the image stands, or is not there at all.

Reading text on the LG Touch DVB T80 media player

In addition to DVB, pictures, movies and music, the LG T80 is also able to read texts. You can transfer .txt files from your computer and view them anywhere. There are also several reproduction options available, although not too advanced. The list of possibilities with the T80 keeps on growing and although it is a pity you cannot edit the text and store it, it is still a nice feature. It enables you to view a to-do-list, check your agenda or read a story wherever and whenever you like.

 

LG media player review

The LG T80 media player features a 3 inch WQVGA (400 x 240) touchscreen TFT color LCD and offers access to the world of DVB-T. Although the T80 prefers not to go along with the hype of current media players when it comes to its design, marketing etcetera, the media player does look extremely promising. Developed by the designers of the Prada mobile phone line-up, the T80 is the next step of LG's portable media player collection. Read our full LG Touch DVB T80 review for more information!
