Honeywell doesn’t do so well in review
Honeywell’s Altura MLX, a budget 42-inch LCD TV with a 120Hz refresh rate, looks promising on paper but doesn’t quite live up to the promise in person.
This is one of the least-expensive TVs with 120Hz, and it even includes the smoothing processing, aka dejudder, that the kids seem to like these days. But we’re generally not big fans of the effect, so we like to have the capability to actually turn off dejudder. One problem with the Altura is that it doesn’t have that capability. Inexplicably, with that set it’s dejudder or bust.
We liked the Honeywell’s styling, but couldn’t find much to like about its picture quality. Lighter black levels and less-accurate color are big culprits, as is a very dark gamma that makes the whole picture seem too dull regardless of any adjustments we tried. In case you’re still interested, there’s plenty more detail after the jump.
