Okay, so we don't necessarily see the appeal of having a 19-inch LCD TV shaped like a basketball invade the swank minimalism of Engadget HQ, but we're certain some of you need to furnish your basement rec rooms or something, and Hannspree's got you covered with a new trio of sports-themed LCDs. For $279, you get your choice of basketball, soccer ball, or baseball (which, oddly, is black), each of which features the same middle-of-the-road 1280 x 1024 panel with 5ms response time and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. There's also a $239 model called the "slamma," which sports a different 1440 x 900 19-inch panel with a 700:1 contrast ratio. No word on availability, but Hannspree is calling this its "summer lineup," so we're guessing sometime soon. More pics after the break.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.hannspree.com/global/product_detail.aspx?id=23995&c=23807">Read</a> - Hannspree Basketball<br /><a href="http://www.hannspree.com/global/product_detail.aspx?id=24006&c=23807">Read</a> - Hannspree Baseball<br /><a href="http://www.hannspree.com/global/product_detail.aspx?id=24016&c=23807">Read</a> - Hannspree Soccer<br /><a href="http://www.hannspree.com/global/product_detail.aspx?id=24067&c=23809">Read</a> - Hannspree Slamma<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/hannspree-introduces-three-gimmicky-sport-lcds-additional-gimmi/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Hannspree introduces three gimmicky sport LCDs, additional gimmicky LCD</em></a></p><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/hannspree-introduces-three-gimmicky-sport-lcds-additional-gimmi/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1255133/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/hannspree-introduces-three-gimmicky-sport-lcds-additional-gimmi/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>
