Strengths: Great picture, easy setup, all the connection you need.
Weakness: PIP could be better.
Just got OTA (over the air) HDTV feed from my local tv station and the picture is unbelievable. I've got the TV mounted on the wall with a wall mount I bought at Walmart. I've got a PC connected to it and a DVD player. All video feeds look great on this TV. If I had the money I would have like to have had the 42" but this 37" is really as big as you need.
Strengths: Price, True 1920x1080 inputs, ASTC tuner, include cables for components and HDMI to DVI.
Weakness: SDTV, slow ASTC tuner, weak speakers, bad sound control
I've been looking to buy an HDTV for almost a year now. I found a thread reviewing this LCD on one of the more popular audio/video site. After reading the many pros and cons, I decided to buy at a place that had a great return policy (in case I needed it). Since this is my first HDTV, I wanted to go for the best resolution at a price I can afford. I wanted to be able to hook up my computer on it...
Strengths: Great color, refresh, resolution, brightness for the cost.
Weakness: Few inputs (just 1 DVI/HDMI, 1 component), poor speakers, tuner is slow.
If I was trying to use this solely as a TV using its built in tuners/speakers, I would probably be unsatisfied. I, however, had no such plans and it works great with a home theater receiver, HD cable box, and with a DVI connection to my computer. I have a v2 model, and despite reported "juddering"/"tearing" problems @ 1080p through DVI, mine is perfect (it sounds like the other people were having...
Strengths: Very Bright Whites, Good contrast for a LCD to black/white. Hi-Resolution 1080p! connectivity for HTPC, ATSC Tuner
Weakness: 2nd Revision Sceptre has a judder problem that has been noted at 60mhz thru 1080p thru DVI/VGA. This may be fixed soon thru a firmware upgrade. you can solve this by using 53mhz powerstrip
This LCD rocks, for the price, you cant beat that this thing will last thru the next technology of 1080p, you will not have to upgrade when HD-DVD comes out, etc. With a true native resolution of 1080p, this thing works great as a HTPC, And also has a superier lamp brightness, in fact, i lower it to the lowest setting to preserve black levels. all in all, for the price level it is at, 37" AND...
Strengths: Least expensive.
Weakness: Tuner is slow to change channels and upconversion shows glitch.
I choose it because it was the least expensive LCD with 1080 resolution and a built-in ATSC tuner. The ATSC tuner is not the best. I think it has problems upconverting because sometimes up close I see green shimmerings which go away when set to 720 instead of 1080 and which by comparison I don't see when using my old settop tuner. Otherwise, the picture looks very good, though I'm no videophile....

Strengths: 1080p (1920x1080) resolution, includes HDTV Tuner, includes HDMI and all needed cables, great viewing angle
Weakness: Bezel is kind of big and color could be better, Cheap speakers/Remote, Non-existant Manual, Optical Out for HDTV tuner is in the Bezel, Horrible Buzzing sound for 1/8 audio out
I got this TV back last year around September. This was the V1 of the TV set and despite it's shortcomings and corner cutting on some parts the Panel was stunning. The HDTV Tuner is a nice addition but it is not the best one out there. Personally I have the TV hooked up to my PC with a ATI HDTV Wonder Card and it looks fantastic. Also 1080p WMV Files look great as well. I was suprised by how...
Strengths: 1920x1080 at an affordable price, what more can I say...
Weakness: juddering, dvi lamp won't save settings, black level doesn't work
They finally released a firmware update for all the problems I just said, after the update I don't see any of the problems at all. I love my 37" now, but I hear they're releasing a 42", I'm wondering if I should go with that one...
Strengths: Great deal for a 1080p display
Weakness: Only one component input. Slow ATSC tuner. Mediocre speakers.
Display is awesome. 1080p for a great bargain. Was thinking of a 42" one but 37" is plenty big. No dead pixels. Going to use this as a display for a HTPC. The speakers are not great. I ended hooking up some spare bookshelf speakers. A lot of issues have been solved with the latest firmware. Check out the reviews at avs forums.
Strengths: Excellent HD built-in tuner, no dead pixels, works well as computer monitor.
Weakness: Poor Quality Speakers and Mediocre Remote. V2 of product requires firmware upgrade.
After living with the 37" Sceptre for three months, I still feel I purchased a decent product at a reasonable price, in other words - a good value. PROS: The HD tuner is excellent and I was able to receive 13 local HDTV signals without a problem using basic rabbit ears. The component inputs work perfectly wiht my upconvert DVD player, and the two S-video (AV1, AV2) inputs are fine for DVD or...

Good value for a great monitor
Strengths: Stunning HDTV, great monitor, includes lots of cables
Weakness: SDTV, remote, slow channel changing
Excellent product for the money. True 1080P television for $999 is a bargain. I have used this set with all types of signals and my findings are below: *Outstanding as a computer monitor. Screen is bright, text is crisp and clear and pics look fantastic. *OTA is good to great in 720p-1080i. *HDTV is great from BrightHouse. Images are REALLY crisp; I also own a DLP HDTV and the Sceptre blows it...
