Polaroid 26" HDTV Monitor (FLM-2601)

Does anyone have any experience with this display? I did a search, but didn't find out much. I saw it in CC, and it looked decent. I played around with some of the picture controls, and got it looking pretty good, using some of the other high end sets around to calibrate it.

Took a quick look at this TV a few days ago. My thoughts:

Thanks Paul, I don't know how I missed that. Great review! I actually saw it in CC with ESPN HD. I may actually go back and look at again so I can see it without the ESPN side bars. It really reduces the size of a 26". I am looking at this as an additional set in my projector theater...for an HR10-250 and an Xbox....so side bars won't be part of my viewing. May suit my need well.

Well, I picked up this set today. I must say, it looks pretty good. And get this...there was a label over the contrast ratio "600:1" that said "800:1". Hmmm....did they decide that their display was really 800:1 and not 600:1.......very interesting!

While I had some reservations concerning the display I thought for the price and input options that it is pretty nice. If other examples of this set have the color temperature calibrated better than the one I saw, it could be a winner. The black level, in particular was one of the best I've seen in the size/price range.
