Polaroid 4241-TLXB 42″ LCD HDTV Review

Posted on Sep 1, 2007

The Polaroid 4241-TLXB is a reasonably priced, large LCD HDTV that can be found at major retailers like Circuit City. Polaroid has been manufacturing televisions for a few years now and catches many people’s attention because of their very competitive pricing. The Polaroid 4241TLXB is packed with features, most impressively is the 1080p resolution which is the best possible resolution you can buy. 1080p resolution isn’t common with HD cable programming yet but if you’re using HD gaming or video players like PlayStation 3, Blu-Ray or HD-DVD, you’ll get the full effect.

Polaroid 4241-TLXB Features and Specifications:

  • Resolution: 1080p (1920×1080)
  • Aspect Ratio: 16:9 Widescreen
  • Built-in Tuners: NTSC/ATSC
  • Contrast Ratio: 800:1
  • Component Inputs: 2
  • S-Video Inputs: 1
  • Composite Inputs: 2
  • HDMI Inputs: 2
  • DVI Inputs: 0
  • PC Compatible: Yes

The Polaroid 4241-TLXB is one of the cheapest LCD HDTV’s available in this size range. It has great features like 1080p and simulated surround sound but the contrast ratio of 800:1 is very unappealing. LCD TV’s typically have a lower contrast ratio but this may be a little too low. If you’re not an audio/video junkie and are just looking for a sleek looking flat panel to put in your living room or hang on the wall, the 4241-TLXB is a very attractively priced option. If you’re looking for a superior picture, you may want to invest some more money into a better set or get a smaller size of a better brand.

YouReviewElectronics.com rates the Polaroid 4241-TLXB 6/10!
