Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Say goodbye to bulky, low-res television and say hello to Polaroid's LCD-2000. This 20-inch LCD TV produces exciting, perfectly flat images while occupying minimal space in your office, bedroom, kitchen, or living room. The 640 x 480-resolution television includes an NTSC tuner for immediate off-air reception, and it's also ideal for use with a DTV receiver, a progressive-scan DVD player, a VCR, or even your computer for dual-purpose viewing.

The set is configured in a standard, 4:3 aspect ratio that matches most broadcast TV dimensions and accepts both standard-definition 480i and enhanced-definition 480p signals. And with its 350:1 contrast ratio, impressive 450 cd/m2 brightness rating, and onboard digital comb filter (which separates the color signals to minimize dot crawl and blurred edges), the set renders sharp, focused images that look great regardless of their source. It also features super-wide, 176-degree viewing angles so everyone in the room can enjoy a great view.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (with no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and--at a mere 23 pounds--light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be more affordable than their flat-panel plasma counterparts, which often (though not always) offer faster response times and higher contrast ratios.

Connections consist of a VGA (15-pin D-Sub) PC input with minijack audio, an RF coaxial antenna/video input, and 1 each component-video, composite-video, and S-video inputs with 1 stereo analog (left/right) RCA audio input between them.

Other features of the LCD-2000 include stereo speakers with 1.5 watts per channel (x 2), a sleep timer, a headphone jack for private listening, and a full-function remote control.

What's in the Box
TV, remote control, remote batteries, an AC power adapter, an AC power cord, a user's manual, and warranty information.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am impressed, October 28, 2004

I have to say, I am really impressed with the quality of this TV for the price. It has many features found on much higher priced televisions, yet is very simple to operate. The picture quality is excellent for a tv in this price range and installation onto a wall mount was a breeze. I mounted this tv above the double doors in my bedroom (where I had an electrical and cable outlet installed when we built the house) and it looks great! Very sleek and stylish, I need a new TV for our living room too, and If Poloroid makes a large screen flat screen I will definately look into it as well. Very satisfied here!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!!!, January 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Polaroid LCD-2000 20-Inch Flat-Panel LCD TV (Electronics)

We recently purchased the Polaroid 20 inch LCD Flat Panel TV. It has clear, crisp pictures with unbelieveable color. The onscreen program guide is easy to follow when adjusting color, size, etc. I also recieved the Polariod portable DVD player with the pivitable screen for Christmas. I am very impressed and satisfied with the Polaroid company and plan on purchasing more items from them in the future!!!

I purchased a Polaroid LCD FLM-373B television 90 days ago and it just went blank. I called customer service and they were absolutely horroble. It's going to take close to a month to repair. DO NOT BUY POLAROID!!!!!
