HP MediaSmart SLC3760N LCD HDTV

Build Quality: 91
• Attractive gloss-black bezel and sturdy stand
• Media box is attached to the outside

Value: 88
• As we went to press, HP dropped the price from $2,000 to $1,700, which is more competitive but still slightly high for a 37-inch model

Features: 90
• Adjustable backlight and auto light sensor
• Only one HDMI input and no VGA
• The digital audio output is important for MediaSmart

Performance: 89
• Excellent detail and good color
• Viewing angle and motion blurring are a concern

Ergonomics: 92
• Remote lacks backlighting and dedicated source buttons
• The media menu and remote design make for intuitive navigation

Overall Rating: 90
The SLC3760N is a solid performer, offering good color, detail, and contrast, but its LCD nature makes it a better fit for a bright room. The MediaSmart function is a great perk in an otherwise modest features list.
