I love watching ebay at around 9 am when suddenly these appear as "unwanted gift" :-)

Call that getting lucky.

A polaroid tv at this price isn't a bargain. It's called getting rid of stock nobody would otherwise buy.

They say you get what you pay for. So if you expect 5 years from a £700 TV then 1 year from a £140 TV seems fair.

Joking aside, its a Tele for £140. It's a punt I suppose. On the other end of the review spectrum will be people saying their Polaroid TV lasted a lot longer.

I wouldn't hesitate to pick one up at this price and skip it when it breaks. This TV is probably cheaper than the cost of a repair anyway. If it's bought as a spare room TV it will get less use and last longer maybe.

I would say take your chances and be prepared to lose £140. Or look at it another way, if it does last only one year it's cost you £11.60 a month for a widescreen TV, get another one next black friday and it's like a lease lol

If anything goes wrong there are only three circuit boards,and they are cheap to replace.very easy to swap over.

Just watched the videos of these losers fighting over a garbage tv in Asda. It'll probably break down within 12 months.

A guy who works in Asda told me today that this TV normally sells for £169 so your only saving £30 anyway

Polaroid well known for its high quality TVs, bunch of yuppies that wouldn't know a decent tv if it hit them in the head.

Black Friday = Mug Friday

Some ok deals but the majority is all marketing hype and surplus stock witg false pricing..

I bought one. It's a dud. Gutted.

They're all over that like flies on poo. Asda could put any old thing out there and because it's a big tele "40" cor blimey!" it will automatically sell.

Reading comments on here about build quality and whatnot is reassuring, glad I didn't bother getting involved in this madcap free-for-all.

But at least some people are satisfied with the deals, so some good has come of it :smiley:

Awful TV. Doesn't even have colour from looking at the box.

My local asda had notices instore saying they were selling these, I thought i'd just missed out when they had none but a member of staff said that they never even had any.

i call that false advertising.

Humans , scourge of the third planet

Call that getting lucky.

Really disappointed with it, didn't expect too much but it's garbage! The screen is loose and flimsy which I could've lived with but the picture quality is really poor. Doesn't state the contrast ratio but I bet it's something like 5000 to 1. It's all about the contrast ratio / dynamic range for my eyes but this is lacking in that department.. Taking it back and waiting for a better deal.

info.. afaik!



2 x hdmi NOT 3

1 x usb NOT 2

most of those fighting over them will get them home to find they don't work due to swinging them around the store for a few hours hahahahah order online people it's much safer and chances are it won't have a cracked screen when it arrives due to some muppet banging in to it every 3 seconds

Black Eye Friday more like at Asda

just been to asda wigan. que was massive so just came home, and as everyone said bad reviews anyway, i'm thinking of a Samsung UE40H5000 seems good reviews

I like the review that says 'run'

Would not buy a polaroid tv

http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2011/06/class-action-suit-polaroid-lcd-tvs-a-fire-hazard.html

While you are in asda buying this tv, you may need one of these

Bad polaroid tv reviews here
Would recomend buying tv from richer sounds with 5 year guantee for 200

http://www.consumeraffairs.com/home_electronics/polaroid_tv.html

Yes poor build I was told

I spoke with one of the staff at my local ASDA about these TVs this evening. He said that particular store had an 18% return rate on these last year due to faults.

It is a fantastic deal but it may be worth keeping this in mind.

Can someone confirm it is a 720p tv (HD ready)? I checked it at the store this evening (area manager confirmed it is going on sale, as well as 50 inch LG plasma and 4k Seiki). Anyway, the quality of picture on this Polaroid was definitely worse than on other tv's, other ASDA Polaroid included. Colors were worse than on some panasonic next to it, but I was surprised to see that resolution seems lower as well. Now in the spec I also see HD Ready here: http://direct.asda.com/Polaroid-LE-40GCL---40-in.-LED-TV---1080p-%28FullHD%29/000522223,default,pd.html?dual=0 , but everyone talks as if it is fullhd. So wwhich is it? And how it compares to Sainsbury's £149 model?

The ASDA near me is 24 hours. Will the deal start at midnight?

does this come with a guarantee like the sainsburys one does?

i really do need a tv, as my other broke this morning, just blue standby light switching on and off and tv won't come on, never been to black friday before, but if i go to my local asda at 8am will i beable to get one

says model no is pt2-40led14

This is a hotty if you can find one.

Asda stores are operating a queuing system. The home and leisure dept will be be sectioned off and only people there for the black Friday deals will be able to enter that section of the store and those wanting a grocery shop are only able to enter that side of the store. You have to leave and re enter the store via the correct entrance.

is it a smart TV?

well i'll be going for one .. despite the odd negative comment.. how can you not beat a 40inch led tv for £139.. maybe it's not top of the range ..but don't care lol :stuck_out_tongue:

I was definitely considering getting one of these. I mean who wouldnt want a LED TV for £140 right ........ Well me ..... I have an LG at the moment that is 5 years old. I have been looking to upgrade for a while. After looking at the specs for both TV's my LG absolutely wipes the floor with this one. So thanks but no thanks

Does anyone have the Specs of it?

I used to have one, this is a great TV for this price.

Thanks I know the price is very good. But I already have HDTV ...

I work at an asda distribution centre,each store is allocated only 5 each so hurry

There was only 1 tv for sale in Asda Birkenhead last year and about 500 people wanting one

Is this wall mountable?

thanks

Great buy, just have to get to Walmart / Asda megasuperstoresize before anyone else early AM!

Was a bit disappointed that you did not post any Mcdonalds wallet codes with your thread Jaguar... not the same is it.. free food that costs money!

Can anyone confirm if this model has FreeviewHD tuner ?

Appears to have exactly the same specs as the Blaupunkt on Sainsburys...

First person in queue will buy the lot

Is it 3D ??

is the tv on friday or saturday, because they are doing deals both days

So it's NOT the P40LED (thin) model

It's the OMGSOTHICK model

Low quality tv. no good

I'd buy one but I don't want to risk being killed by a stampeding herd of Wilderb...err, I mean people.

They don't make....they brand generic units out of the same factories as ARGOS exclusive Hitachi brand & Blaupunkt

hot price but dont need.

Voted cold as it will cause chaos

Definitely does, and definitely isn't one per store. Why would someone market a nationwide event to dupe people? It'll only need to nationwide negative PR.

Omg that's a bargain

Theres probably only 1 per store, just to get people to go shopping

Is that your official job title?! :stuck_out_tongue:

Polaroid & blaupunkt are cheap rubbish

Yep I have the 50" Polaroid from ASDA, great picture, SONY Panel.
Sound is not very god though, so add a Soundbar or 5.1 system.
Works great on Wii U console and Laptop as a media streaming PC.

seriously mate that made me genuinely laugh out loud :-):-):-)
im still chuckling now.
brilliant

Awesome.

What???

Polaroid camera? Polaroid pictures?

Never heard of them making TV's but it is a 'brand'.

Pure Altruism.Telling peeps the truth could mean less work for you.Bravo.

In Merseyside it is very difficult now to find TV repair Blokes because most modern TVs don't seem to need repairing and my 2 ,both about 5 years old are really outdated now.I have stopped waiting for 1 to give up the ghost and bought the Sony KDL48W585BBU offered yesterday by Amazon,seen on here and bought staright away before they were all sold out.
Also Bravo to the guy that posted that deal.
I am just sweating on it actually being delivered tomorrow:|

Good price for what your getting

i have a 40 inch philips tv the sound is rubbish and the picture isnt great is it worth getting it fixed or just replacing it the tv is about 6 years old

If u want a bigger tv then wait till saturday.they have 50"lg tvs and 39" 4k seiki tvs...no prices yet....trust me i work for them.

counter argument to the Polaroid haters... I've had a 26" Polaroid tv, used daily for circa 5 years now. not a single issue, its not the prettiest tv and the sound is uninspiring but it all works perfectly. My Samsung tv which cost 4 x as much broke after 2 years... Bargain price for a HD TV. Heat added

Can't go wrong! I'll be there early doors! Have some heat :smirk:

Does anyone know if this definitely has freeviewHD ?

40" for just £139 - See Jeremy Kyle as you've never seen him before! :smiley:

#

I See what's going on here, i'll see you at ASDA "TV repair man" :wink:

Gutted I bought this TV a few months ago for £210 :-( if only I would have waited great price!! good luck everyone going to try and get one I went last year and it was crazy! Still hasn't stopped me making plans to go again tomorrow thou lol x

I didn't think there was tv repair men now. I thought when they broke they just went to the tip like everything else these days. ie microwaves, toasters, wifes etc. Next thing you be telling me there are milkmen and chimney sweepers.

Can anyone tell me if this TV is a Smart TV?

anyone know if asdas have bikes on black friday

Does that include rocking horse poo or is the stock rarer than that :-P

Avoids.

Yeah it looks like a bargain but I'll never buy a Polarioid TV again, they use the cheapest parts that blow after the years warranty. Avoid!

Does anyone know which would be best for ps4. This one or the sainsburys 40inch blaupunkt tv.

can you plug a usb and watch avi files off it directly with this tv?

It's a fantastic offer and I've had good service from a Polaroid TV/DVD combo - very solid TV, but I won't be putting myself through the hassle of trying to get one of these 40s.

Will be up y 6am there for 7 :d

Thanks. That makes more sense.

Seems better in some ways with things like more varied file type support but worse in others because of things like one fewer HDMI port.

Queues were horrendous people fighting and pushing and shoving just horrible

I quote...

ASDA - Starts at 8am. I suggest you get there earlier though! Also, you will be handed a raffle ticket in the queue so there will be no pushing in allowed and there will be only 20 shoppers in at one time.
So I have already told you that Asda are involved in the event. We have been told Asda have this TV in their Black Friday event.

Also received a few messages saying the following are included
TVs includin 40 inch Polaroid led TV
Little tykes playhouse
Drills
Slow cookers
High chance of Frozen
Bikes
Barbie Castle
galaxy note tablet
A Rocking Horse
Fisher price car
Russell Hobbs microwave
Nescafe Dolce Gusto Piccolo Black Multi Beverage Coffee Machine
maybe it's halo (Xbox PlayStation etc)
I now also have photos from one of my AMAZING Asda insiders - Absolute legend :smile:

website... http://ashleighmoneysaver.co.uk/black-friday-2014-weve-heard-far/

I walked around my local Asda in Thornaby on Tees the other day, and all the TVs that are usually displayed have been removed. Is this so that customers cannot take advantage of Black Friday deals ?

I love watching ebay at around 9 am when suddenly these appear as "unwanted gift" :-)

Heat from me. Good find OP!

http://m.direct.asda.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-ASDA-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=000538201#specificationContent

I think it's this one. The model listed on the asda site is PT2-40LED14 and this is P40LED14, so it might be an updated version of the one linked.

Sweet, looks like I'll be heading to Asda in the morning then p

I'm guessing that this is the model in question?

http://m.direct.asda.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-ASDA-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=000522223#specificationContent

Seems pretty decent. Especially for that price.

Exactly, this is what the manager said had happened in Nabbot last year and hence the ticket system...sounds like it's going to be a bun fete!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

Ours was open 24hrs last year with the Black Friday deals at the front of the store, and the electrical aisle, covered over with black plastic bags which kept falling off lol. I was there at 7 and was the only idiot there until about half past - but STILL people shoved in front - there was no actual queuing system in place, it was just "dive in".

...

Not in Newton Abbot, I asked the manager. Store is staying open (24hrs) and they have cordoned off areas for queuing WITH security guards and a ticket system...his words and not mine!!!

Could someone put the price into the title?

What?

Amazing price,heat added :smiley:

Damn...

Hot - thanks Jaguar
