This Polaroid isn’t going to rock your world with 4K streaming and the like.īut if you can live without it and simply want a decent-performing big TV at a good price, the Polaroid is worth a punt.Ontario, CA, J(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Polaroid today unveiled its newest lineup of LED connected TVs featuring 4K ultra HD with HDR and full HD options. It’s not the most luxurious affair, but perfectly functional once you’ve worked out some of the ambiguous icons. Polaroid sticks with last year’s chunky remote. Not practical for everyone, we’d imagine. A word of caution about the stand it sits on: it requires a tabletop that’s roughly 110cm wide and 35cm deep at the minimum. You aren’t paying for a premium design, so understandably the Polaroid’s is fairly unadorned. It’s hardly the snappy, sophisticated WebOS (from LG) or Tizen (from Samsung), but is fairly responsive and easy to operate, at least.Įlsewhere, there are few surprises. The menu consists of a vertical drop-down bar, which is the gateway to settings, the media browser and smart hub. But having correctly identified them as the most popular apps, has separated them in an exclusive tab in the smart hub. Polaroid hasn’t built on its core smarts of Netflix, BBC iPlayer and YouTube since last year’s models. In terms of sound quality, it goes comfortably loud and has reasonable body, but we’d invest in a soundbar such as the Philips HTL5140 for a welcome boost in solidity and detail. We are also a little disappointed by the SD channels, which involve soft lines and misjudged shades of colour. In the final battle scenes, the sea of bodies flung through the air draw a bit of motion instability that we couldn’t eliminate with picture settings. Lines are well sculpted – every soldier in the mass army has definition – and there’s enough detail and clarity to enjoy even the darkest scenes. It’s a movie that deserves Blu-ray treatment, but the Polaroid does its best. Up next is the not-so-epic conclusion to The Hobbit trilogy, The Battle of the Five Armies on DVD. We found them more natural-looking on a cooler colour temperature setting. Running the Polaroid with a THX Optimiser disc is highly recommended, particularly for sorting out the colours. Avoid If you have a small TV stand, as the set is quite wide
