Polaroid P55UF1952U 55" SMART 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV Freeview Play (Renewed)

Product Information

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.

This overall score is made up of high definition picture quality (25%), standard definition picture quality (15%), Filmmaker Mode picture quality (10%), user interface (10%), remote control (10%), smart TV (10%), 4K picture quality (5%), EPG (5%), energy consumption (5%) and sound quality (5%). Voice assistant scores are not included in the CHOICE Expert Rating. The tester plays a number of high quality voice and music recordings on a DVD player connected to the TV and compares it to a reference system. The assessment is made at a volume that the tester feels is sufficient for listening in a normal room and also at the TV's maximum volume (assuming the latter is louder). Sound quality accounts for 5% of the CHOICE Expert Rating. Up next is the not-so-epic conclusion to The Hobbit trilogy, The Battle of the Five Armies on DVD. It’s a movie that deserves Blu-ray treatment, but the Polaroid does its best. 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. TVs with support for 4K or Ultra High Definition (UHD) video are able to show a picture resolution of 3840 x 2160 which may be an issue to consider if 4K movie content becomes readily available and you watch lots of streaming video that supports 4K such as Netflix. Yes If you have a large selection of networked multimedia, the P55D600 should certainly keep you amused.

If you have provided us with a mobile telephone number, our large screen couriers will send a text message or call you to confirm the day of delivery. If you have provided us with a mobile telephone number, DPD couriers will send a text message on the day of delivery advising of an approximate time slot for the delivery. A little surprising is the Polaroid’s input lag of just over 28ms when Game mode is selected, which is low enough to be practically imperceptible to all but the most hardcore of players.

We're currently building two sepearate databases to give users the best and most informative ways of searching for their parts Search by Part Number Smart TVs now essentially conduct searches and process commands using your voice with trigger words such as 'OK Google' or 'Alexa' telling the TV that it should act on your commands. No The screen itself is ostensibly well equipped though. It sports all the badges required by the canny 4K shopper, including Smart connectivity, 2160p resolution and 3D compatibility. Connectivity comprises four HDMI inputs. This is a goodly number and will be welcomed by gamers, however of the four HDMIs only one HDMI is 4K HDCP 2.2 compliant. This will likely restrict your options further down the road when 4K content services (such as BT Ultra HD, Ultra HD Blu-ray and SkyQ to name but three) become rather more commonplace.

Consequently, there's no correlation between Polaroid TVs on sale in the UK and those available in North America.

Many TVs with very high resolution struggle to upscale standard definition (SD) sources to their native resolution, leading to low scores in our testing for SD. SD accounts for 15% of the CHOICE Expert Rating. In addition to a digital optical audio for use with soundbars and music systems, there's a subwoofer phono output for those that simply want to add a little beef to the box's audio output, by hooking up an active subwoofer. There's also a VGA PC input plus CI card slot for European PPV providers.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) TVs deliver greater contrast between dark and bright colours, giving you greater detail in shade areas and more realistic colours in difficult video situations such as overly dark or overly light scenes. However to enjoy HDR, you need a TV to support the format and the content needs to have the information stored in the video to let the TV know how to deal with the picture. Yes Roku has announced the all-new 55-inch Polaroid Roku TV, and it’s exclusively available at Asda here in the UK.

We are also a little disappointed by the SD channels, which involve soft lines and misjudged shades of colour. A high score means the TV brand (not the model) is less likely to have faults over time, according to CHOICE members. This score does not contribute to the CHOICE Expert Rating. Manufacturer Refurbished - Includes Stand, Remote control, User manual and Power lead. Non-essential accessories (cables, adapters etc.) may NOT be supplied.If the item was delivered by Royal Mail or if you collected the item yourself then you will be required to return it at your expense via the same method. Running the Polaroid with a THX Optimiser disc is highly recommended, particularly for sorting out the colours. We found them more natural-looking on a cooler colour temperature setting. The on-screen user interface should be easy to read, easy to follow, tell the user what is happening (e.g. tells the user to wait while TV is scanning for DTV broadcasts), and show clear prompts, which button to press, or what to do next. User interface accounts for 10% of the CHOICE Expert Rating.
