A phenomenon that has been observed in the LCD market in recent times is the crazy cost cutting measures adopted by many companies to boost sales. The situation consequently might prove to be an ideal one for you to give yourself a LCD TV, especially when the prices really hit rock bottom. Just ensure that the models on your priority list are up to the mark and compatible with modern accessories and gadgets. One model I would like to suggest from my side is the Toshiba Regza 37XV505DB.

Before starting of I caution you against getting distracted by its unimaginative design, as it has a swarm of features to sweep you off your feet. One remarkable side of the Toshiba 37XV505D is its terrific connectivity which despite being a budget player provides not one, but three v1.3 HDMI inputs. Then, there is a D-Sub PC port, and subwoofer line-out, feature as well, apart from the intuitive audio output feature, which in recent times is gaining in prominence, and can be used to pump out Dolby Digital audio out to an AV receiver. Being a budget player, it understandably lacks high-end features like SD card slots, USB ports.

Moreover, the unit has an impressive dynamic contrast ratio of 18,000:1, which is comparatively higher than what was offered by its predecessor, the 37CV505DB, at 15,000:1. One feature that has contributed immensely in the product’s desirability is the inclusion of the Active Vision LCD picture processing, an indigenous development of the company. Then, there is a Game mode too that comprehensively enhances the performance of the deck via PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii consoles.
