Polaroid - 37" LCD HDTV —

My husband and I purchased a Polaroid 37" TV in March of 2007. We had it exactly 9 months before the picture went on it. We had sound but no picture. We called Polaroid and they sent a tech out to look at it. The tech told us this happens frequently with LCD and Plasma TVs. Certain parts in them just go bad and not to expect for them to last more then 2 years. They sent a replacement part for it and that did not work. Finally after 2 months they sent another refurbished 42" Polaroid because they did not have any more 37" in stock.Although this is a bigger screen size it is still refurbished. We shall see how long this one lasts. My son had a 26" Polaroid that did the same thing only his went out right after the warranty expired and the part costs $500 to fix it. The warranty people are a pain to deal with. If I am paying good money for something, I expect it to last for more then 9 months. I did not buy the extended warranty for this item. In the furture as with all electronics I will buy the extended warranty.
