Best TV under $300 in 2012

This is fine product from Philips. It comes with a VGA input that allows you to use your TV screen as a computer monitor. This is very practical for those who don't want to buy another flat screen computer monitor. It also comes with USB port and two HDMI ports. It is lightweight at 17 pounds which will be a factor that some might want to take into consideration if they plan to attach it to a wall. It is also only 3.8 inches deep.

It is not full high-definition at only 720p. It comes with a great 3D digital comb filter. If you don't understand what that is, you have nothing to worry about because it has to do with image quality. This filter helps avoid what is commonly known Dot crawl. Anytime you see 3D digital comb filter, just think of it as a feature that allows better image quality.

For those who are bent on spending nothing more than $300 on a TV, this COBY is another brand that you might want to look into. It is only 4.2 inches deep and comes with a VGA input, 2 HDMI ports, and 3D digital comb filter for better image quality. It is not full HD at 720p. If you're wondering what full high-definition is, all you need to look for is the 1080p.

That said, most users will not perceive the difference. This device is also equipped to work with digital channels. Another thing that will appeal to some about this product is that it doesn't come with the fully rectangular design that you see with most flat screen TVs. This one has got a nice curve that makes it a little more appealing.

You also get the universal serial bus aka USB that will facilitate connecting other digital devices video cameras and digital cameras.
