If you want to pay close to two grand for a flat-screen LCD, you might want to consider the HP LC3760N 37-inch HD LCD TV. It has enough connectors to keep you busy for the better part of the day hooking up everything you own, the picture is beautiful, and it doesnt take up much space; its less than 6 inches deep. It comes with a simple stand, or you can mount it on your wall. The LC37760N has a clear picture with a high contrast ratio, excellent response time, and wide viewing angle that delivers a great analog TV picture, as well as HD. Its widescreen format means youll be able to enjoy movies more, as well. The two built-in speakers are conveniently placed on the front of the unit, but for real 3D surround sound youll want to connect the set to a receiver and at least a 5.1 speaker setup. The remote is amazingly simple to use and logically arranged for something that does so much. Even though the LC3760N supports 480p, 720p, and 1080i modes, you dont want to use this TV to just receive over-the-air programming and should, if you dont already, subscribe to HD cable or satellite services. Over-the-air HD isnt very satisfying unless youre lucky enough to live close by the transmitting stations and dont mind fussing with the space-age antenna (not included) that youll need to pull down the signal. by David Strom
