Electronics Review - Polaroid LCD Widescreen TV with HDTV

FLM-3732: 37" HD LCD TV with ATSC Tuner

Choosing a new television can seem daunting at first. There are stand alones, projection screen, LCD, plasma, big screens, small screens, travel sized, and theater sized. Countless name brands are available and among them they all have different features. Many times the price range can narrow your choices down a bit but most televisions are being so competitively priced at this point that it is still a difficult decision to choose the very best one.

I knew we wanted a flat screen LCD television and I knew I didn't want to spend more than $1500 on it. While this narrowed our selection down quite a bit, we were still left with many to choose from. We decided to stick with one store instead of driving back and forth among others. There we would be able to see the televisions, on and running under the same lighting conditions and decide which in fact had the best detail and the best picture quality.

The Polaroid HD LCD TV stood out among the rest. Its sleek design was pleasing but the picture quality was unsurpassed. At first, we couldn't figure out what it was that made it so much better than the rest. It had the same values for resolution, brightness, and contrast ratio. After closer inspection, we realized that the television screen has no glare. The screen image was picture perfect and gave the appearance that whatever is on the screen is actually right in front of you. Seeing how our living room has a very large window on the opposite side of the room from where this piece of equipment would be sitting, we were thrilled to find that glaring wouldn't be a problem. At an awesome value of just around $1000, this ultra-slim 37" beauty was coming home with us.
