Polaroid FLM-2601 26-Inch Widescreen LCD HDtv Monitor
Excellent value, but not perfect
I'm not up to speed on the monitor/TV/HDTV marketplace at all, so I can't really compare this to other products. <br />I was in the market for a computer monitor and my budget was $400 - $600 bucks.  After looking around I realized I was going to get 20\\" at best in that price range.   <br /> <br />Anyway, I purchased this product for $700 on sale.  A 26\\" monitor for that price is an incredible value.  I'm very happy with it.  <br /> <br />My goal was to work on my computer and have the TV going at the same time.  I can accomplish this with PIP. <br /> <br />The few things I don't like about it: <br />1 - You can only use PIP mode from the VGA/DVI mode.  Thus, when using your PC, you can insert a picture from any of the other inputs.  The converse is NOT available <br />2 - The PIP mode where the screen is split into 2 halves is very limited.  Again, this is only available from the VGA/DVI mode.  You can't control which input is on which side of the screen, and the VGA side scrunches up the resolution so I can read the text very well in my browser. <br />3 - You can't swap inputs, obvioulsy based on what I previously have said, in the PIP mode. <br /> <br />All that said, for $700 bucks I couldn't have gotten a better, bigger product.  The picture is great. <br /> <br />If I were shopping for a high end TV for my home entertainment system this would not be my product of choice, but for a 26\\" montior at $700, you won't find one better. <br /> <br />I really enjoy it.
