Guide Review - Product Review: Kreisen 37" LCD TV - Model KR-370T
The 3D digital comb filter is a nice feature because it provides the best picture possible through RF and composite inputs. This is an important inclusion because most people will probably use one of those connections to display cable/satellite.
The sharpness of colors and edges was excellent when watching standard digital cable. I watched several DVDs and played XBOX in HD, and was impressed with the detail. The KR-370T has a response time of 25m/s. I didn't noticed any complications with fast-moving images except for the text crawl ghosting. The picture was large enough to watch from 12' away, and it handled well in low/bright light environments.
I liked the easy-to-read text listing all connections on the back panel, the remote control and matching controls under the front panel.
I didn't like the fixed tabletop stand that didn't allow horizontal/vertical adjustment. There weren't inputs on the front/side, and the TV always started on channel 9. It didn't have an easy-select button for changing input types. Instead, you had to scroll through all inputs until reaching the input of choice.
Final Word: This is one dandy TV that anyone wanting top-dollar quality at a bargain would be happy to own.
