LCD-TV Reviews

This is a great little TV that seems to do everything well. The picture is pretty darned good as LCDs go--it is very brilliant and crisp, although in common with all LCD screens that I've seen it sometimes is less-than-perfect for dark scenes. The built-in speakers are mostly OK, although you in my opinion the set benefits significantly if you use bigger outboard speakers.

This is a great choice for limited space applications. I installed mine in my boat, and I love it! The kids love it! We use ours mainly to watch DVDs, and it is great for this. Panasonic quality is a joy to behold, and this TV hits the mark. Recommended.

I am a reviewer that is normally in the 2,000-2,500 range of Amazon reviewers. This review is anonymous purely from the privacy point of view.

What I like about this TV is it seems to work. The large number of inputs is extremely useful, two S-video and two component video, I think there is the traditional 75 ohm cable connection as well. Switching the input also switches the audio output. So if you are like me and run the sound system using a separate amplifier and speakers this simplifies life enormously for wiring, the number of inputs required on the amplifier and for choosing the sound source on the amplifier.

Picture quality is reasonable. I used to use a Sony 20 inch Wega which has the best picture quality I could find. The LCD picture quality is comparable and certainly watchable.

For two people watching it had some very interesting side effects. Because it was so slim we were able to throw out the old TV table. Move the TV back closer to the wall. Move the sofa a bit closer and reclaim enough room behind to put in another book case. It doesn't seem to dominate the room as the old television did.

The 16:9 aspect ratio is very nice when you have 16:9 material available. DVDs seem to come in native 16:9 and wide screen stripe across the middle to show on a normal TV. This TV set allows you to resize the picture within some limitations. There are more options for resizing on the s-video connection.

Although this machine supports 480p subjectively the picture was not much different from a DVD source.

Wish list, at this price and with this much flexibility it would be nice to play my Zone 2 PAL DVDs back in PAL.

Note that LCD screens are not as delicate as the Plasma displays and are considerably cheaper. This one is one of the largest LCD screens available.

I selected this TV based on its compact dimensions for fix in a rennovated kitchen. It has not disappointed. The local cable has 17 HDTV channels and they are very crisp and clear on this set compared to the conventional CRT sets in the house. It was an easy set up - in fact there are so many options you could spend all day tinkering. I just went with a basic straightforward approach and was rewarded with a great picture.

Like most HDTV's these days the remote is loaded with buttons your will never use. I plan to get a simple one to turn it on and off and to adjust the volume. This set is perfect for a small space and has good visibility up to about 10 ft. After that the screen is small.

I can recommmend this as a great starter set for someone who wants to try the technology but not spend a great deal of money, or someone who wants a great set for a small space.

I bought this three weeks ago, primarily to watch DVD's, but also just to experience HDTV from our local Comcast service. Philips does a fantastic job with high definition signals.

I am having buyer's remorse, though. I spoke this morning with Philips to ask the cost of their extended warranty. I was quoted a price of almost $220 a year! As no one really knows how long an LCD TV will actually last, an extended warranty seems like an essential part of the purchase decision, and Philips has just set me back on my heels. I may return the set to the store I purchased it from (Bose) if they can't find a way to get the extended warranty cost down for me.

I previouslly had the Sony DVP-S360 and I was reasonably satisfied with it. However, I just wanted to buy a new sound system to my bedroom and a new TV so I went to Andorra which is a principality between Spain and France and is tax free zone. I bought this system and the Sharp 36NS400 TV to go with it.

The whole package was about 35% cheaper than in portugal or United States.

The sound is good enough due to the constitution of my room and the image quality is perfect. The remote is a little weird but you get used to it.

If you can afford, this is one the best options to take

I am pleased with this Polaroid under-counter LCD TV. The picture is exceptional, and the sound is pretty good. I think for the price this is a good little TV for the kitchen. I have only had this for one week, so hopefully it will last several years with no problems.

I have been shopping around for a 17 LCD/TV and could not make up my mind. I searched all over the Internet and thought I had a good idea of what I wanted. I saw the Polaroid 1700 a few months ago but was not impressed with the specs on it just by reading it. That all changed when I saw it in person! I compared it in person with about 30 other LCD TV's and all I could say was "SWEET"! The picture just blew me away! I was in love with it! I compared it to the others and there was no comparison! Since I loved it so much I looked at the 20 but it was not a widescreen and only had 4:3 aspect ratio. I never liked widescreen TV's (being all programs are broadcasted in 4:3) but this TV gives you the opportunity to change the aspect ratio, I never read that in any of the online reviews. It is a perfect bedroom TV to watch your widescreen DVD's and also switch it over to the TV tuner and watch the 4:3 ratio. It does not stretch it out and distort it like a lot of other TV's. For the features and the AWESOME picture, it is well worth the money. Compare it and you will not find a better one in this class. I would say the only downfall is the bulky size and weight. But it still looks SWEET! I recommend this product highly! Mind you I am a VERY picky electronics person. I hope this helps.

Pros : Large 4.0" Active Matrix LCD; very sharp, clear, and crisp picture; wide viewing angle, sound quality is good with reasonable dynamic range, signal reception good even in questionable areas, unit is easy to hold and grasp, nice feel and texture to case with non-slip rubber over mold, built in hand strap is convenient, has removable battery pack, hooks up easily to either VCR or CamCorder, comes with AC wall adapter and DC car adapter.

Cons : is a definite battery drainer, AC adapter jack is right under hand strap making holding the unit a little uncomfortable, should have a snap on protective screen cover, 2 speakers would have been nice too for Stereo broadcasts.
