    Hi,
    Just wanted to give a piece of advice. I bought a New Polaroid HDTV set in December 2008. Everything worked fine but the HDMI Input wasn't even a HDMI Input even the tech guy didn't know what it was. They sent me a new replacement part. Tech guy put it in and it fried my entire TV.

    Polaroid said they would send a replacement and never did. After talking to Numerous Associates and Supervisors with no result. I filed 5 claims against Polaroid with different Government Agencies. Then guess what, I recieved a new one in two days.

    Had the new one different model and after a month the RF Coaxial Connector went Bad. Had to call Polaroid again, go through all the sane stuff as before, but this time I consulted a Lawyer on any suit I could file against them. I had this 2nd defective set for about 3 months.

    Guess what after they where informed I retained a Lawyer. They sent me
    a new TV in 2 days. Got it Friday, this one is also a different model. Will see how long this one lasts.

    Do yourself a huge favor and agrevation and stay away from Polaroid TV's.

    I just don't want anyone to go through what I had to.

    Actually I also found out that Polaroid went Bankrupt and
    is now owned by another company still using the Polaroid name,
    and that their products are produced in China(don't know if that is
    good or not)........

    Made in December 2008.. I wonder if it will survive until the warranty starts..

    That reminds me of the pl504 tubes I used to buy that glowed as blue as a thyratron and were clearly marked.. "Made in Hunagry"
