Consequently, there's no correlation between Polaroid TVs on sale in the UK and those available in North America. Elsewhere, there are few surprises. You aren’t paying for a premium design, so understandably the Polaroid’s is fairly unadorned. A word of caution about the stand it sits on: it requires a tabletop that’s roughly 110cm wide and 35cm deep at the minimum. Not practical for everyone, we’d imagine. Switch to standard-def via the built-in tuner and, as long as you’ve dialled the settings down a little, the performance is perfectly acceptable. A more premium TV will produce more punch, and also balance sharpness and smoothness more effectively, but this is still a natural performance with control and clarity.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. Expectations may have been low, but the degree to which this 49-inch Polaroid 4K TV exceeds them is still impressive. Comprehensively specified, easy to use and surprisingly capable of getting to the heart of what you’re watching, this is a much better TV than its name, availability and price tag might suggest.

On the technical front, the Polaroid Roku TV supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Audio. In terms of connectivity, its HDMI inputs support HDMI 2.0. 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. If you have a large selection of networked multimedia, the P55D600 should certainly keep you amused. The screen will timeshift to a recorded USB hard drive hung off one of these ports, although as the set only has a single Freview HD tuner, this would prevent it being used for watching other tuner channels while recording. 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.

The P55D600 can be taken online via Ethernet LAN or Wi-Fi. The TV supports both 2.4GHz and the less congested 5GHz band. If your Wi-Fi reach allows it, opt for the latter.

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. Ultimately, you can get a more dynamic and sophisticated performance by going smaller or spending more, but if you absolutely must have a 49-50in TV and are on a limited budget, the Polaroid P49UPA2029A is well worth a trip to Asda.
