Introduction

Sceptre is a product we've been watching for some time. Trouble is, we've never been offered the opportunity to review one - until now. The company makes LCD TVs of both the CCFL and LED backlight variety and they seem to specialize in two types of products: straightforward, no-nonsense designs and stylistic, colorful models that are sure to satisfy any interior designer or fashion enthusiast. The model we reviewed, the X270BV-FHD, is a 27-inch model that represents one of the more basic models. Even though basic, the television includes a host of convenience features that makes it very usable and extremely well-suited for use in almost any environment. It's even available in pink... no joke.

I suspect that the intro page is just missing the "Jump To" code that leads to the rest of the pages.

It this a real review or a preview? If it's a review, it's not something I would expect for Audioholics. It's more like a cnet review.
