What type of effects can I obtain with UV, FLD, CPL filters if any?

Question

Can someone give me examples and show the difference. I obtained these from amazon. I have played with them for a little while and I am not impressed/bought yet.

UV filter has no affect other than degrading picture CIRCULAR POLARIZER is impressive, can turn the tv screen into almost black but where can I use it effectively? FLUORESCENT filter will put is own shade oe the pics, changing the pic them and hence changing the natural colors.

I have heard one reason to use filters is to protect the lens, which I won't' recommend at the cost of picture quality, myself. I have also heard UV can block some glare when taking pictures in bright sun light and water. For now I have used them only inside though.

Can I take some excellent professional type pictures with the help of these filter, if yes, what type of? If no, What is their use, if any?
