Sceptre has been making HDTV for a long while and generally, those sets tend to set themselves apart with crazy colors and with lower price points than many of the other offerings on the market. The company has unveiled a new 37-inch HDTV that has some nice features to it and can be used for a PC monitor as well.

The new set has a 37-inch screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a slim design. It has a glossy black finish, has an automatic dynamic contrast enhancement feature, and has a typical contrast ratio of 4,000:1. There are three HDMI ports on the rear of the set and it has a resolution of 1920 x 1080.

The set supports a USB drive and can show images and play audio from the USB drive that connects to its USB port. Brightness for the set is 450 cd/m2 and the set can swivel up to 30 degrees. Sceptre is offering the set for $499 and it can be purchased at Sears, Target, Amazon, K-Mart, and Newegg.
