faststang88gt says "JUNK DONT BUY!!!!! Polaroid support sucks! Quit working in 6mths" about Polaroid - 32" Flat Screen TV

I had the tv for about 6 months and it quit working. Polaroid had a part sent to me and a tech come by and installed it, but it didn't fix it. They say the LCD screen is bad and warrenty doesn't cover that or the backlight. I have a paper with the warrenty and it says that it covers "all" functional parts. They say they wont fix it or replace it, but I can buy a new LCD sreen for $429 and pay someone to install it. I think it is a bunch of crap. And there tech support sucks. DONT BUY ANYTHING POLAROID!!!

broke says "Don't buy a Polaroid anything!!!!!!!!" about Polaroid - 32" Flat Screen TV

Wasted hundreds on a piece of junk! Buy quality not a Polaroid. LCD TV Went black after only two years, just long enough to last out the warranty. Thought I was getting a good buy, but it was just smoke and mirrors. If Polaroid cared about quality there would be a recall and my flat screen would be fixed. What a waste of time, money, and now forever in a landfill!!!!!!!

HighTeckRedneck says "Ok tv, but dont use the built in tuner." about Polaroid - 32" Flat Screen TV

I work at a resort on the Oregon Coast, we have 105 of these (they are in half our rooms) the other 100 rooms have Phillips tv's. Out of the 105 Polaroid tv's I bet we have replaced 25 of them in just over 1 year, in the same time we have not replaced even one Phillips. There seems to be an issue with the ATSC/NTSC tuner. It seems that if you were to have this tv set up with a cable or sat box using composite/component or HDMI cables you would probably not have as many problems, but if you plan to use the integrated tuner (connected straight to the cable outlet or an antenna) beware. I do have to admit that the sound and PQ is good... when they work that is....

gavincurtis says "Good picture but user unfriendly remote and menu" about Polaroid - 32" Flat Screen TV

Had our Polaroid 32" flatscreen with built in DVD for about one year and so far; has been working great as our bedroom set. We picked it since is was simple and offered a no clutter solution on the corner desk. We don't use the DVD very often, but after playing perhaps its 14th or so disk... mechanism jammed!

One good part of the TV's design is you remove one screw and the DVD mechanism slides out via a 5" bay (similar to a PC) from the TV itself. Somebody was thinking!

If your DVD is jamming, or loading motor runs constantly, our problem was a torsion spring had reversed its range of motion 180 degrees and was hitting the DVD chassis enclosure. This prevented the disk from seating on the spindle. Spring is external and drive does not require dissasembly other than a top dust cover to flip the spring back to its correct position with tweezers. Aside from that simple repair, good to go again. I don't know how many other drives could be affected in these sets, but...

morris5 says "Polaroid 32" Flat Screen is a bust" about Polaroid - 32" Flat Screen TV

My family and I bought the Polaroid 32" flat screen TV about two years ago and a couple of weeks ago is just stopped turning on. We had to unplug it at the wall to get it to turn back on...then that stopped working. Once we finally got it to turn back on, we decided to leave it on until we can replace it (not with another Polaroid)...and now, a few days later...we have turned it off completely because the speakers are making a terrible buzzing noise. What a complete waste of hundreds of dollars. Great picture and sound...until it just quit! Thanks, Polaroid, for a totally crappy product....

romandaddy says "32" polaroid, great picture, dvd is junk" about Polaroid - 32" Flat Screen TV

We purchased this TV from Walmart in Nov of 07, am very glad we bought the extended warranty, $59 well worth it. Put in a DVD on Christmas eve, ate the DVD. HD is great, sound works fine. Waiting for the shipping box to show up to send to the service center, I really hope I do not get some of the bad expeiences others have, will post when I get it back....

Bought this TV mid-June. It died in December. Lasted half a year. Lame. Not worth your money....

momsdowin says "This is a great buy for the money!" about Polaroid - 32" Flat Screen TV

momsdowin — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:17:40 GMT

The Polaroid 32" Flat Screen TV is a slimline TV which takes up very little space. When I set it on my television stand, I feared it would be easily knocked over by my three young children. I chose not to attach it to anything. I have had this television for over a year, and it has never fallen over and doesn't move from its spot. The sound quality is amazing for the smaller size of this flat panel. It can be heard easily at even lower sound levels.

Hookups in the rear are well labeled and colored so that any need to hook up a DVD/VCR, stereo, etc. would be fairly easy for even the most tech challenged person. The manuel is also very helpful.

Cindybmomof3 says "Its not the best investment i`ve made nor is it the worst." about Polaroid - 32" Flat Screen TV

Cindybmomof3 — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 18:52:33 GMT

I feel that you are getting what you pay for with this t.v.. I think the picture is excellent and all of the extras that come with it are worth the price. I would only caution to beware of the built in dvd player its a great convenience until it all of a sudden just quits working....

jdgillespiejr says "Would recommend to anyone - very good buy." about Polaroid - 32" Flat Screen TV

jdgillespiejr — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 18:53:28 GMT

Found my HD compatible POLAROID flat screen TV to be somewhat easy to set up. Did find a problem that was resolved by the service tech. TV is shipped from the factory for "air" (antenna use) hook up and channels were limited. Did not find any instructions to get the set from "air" to "cable" until I called their service help number. I great help in that regard.

Set has performed very well and is just what I was looking for at a great price. I would recommend this set to anyone looking for something to watch in their bedroom or kitchen.

lhawk9701 says "Good picture, excellent sound" about Polaroid - 32" Flat Screen TV

lhawk9701 — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 19:22:09 GMT

This is our second LCD tv purchase. Our first purchase was an off-brand and we are happy with it, but once we had the new Polaroid hooked up to DVD, cable, it has better pic and much better sound. We got a good deal on this tv (after thanksgiving sale) so it evens out what I overpayed on the first tv. Should have gotten the Polaroid the first go round!...
