polaroid went bust years ago, u can look it up if u need. there owner went to jail for Ponzi schemes and all sorts of other stuff.
its just a brand licensor that sells there name to any cheap Chinese company dumb enough to pay them for it now, should be avoided at all costs.

lol, I remember last black friday and even better deal in asda. I have not bought this, but a Tescos Blaupunkt. Next day I paid a visit in Asda and there was a line with people who wanted to return them. There was like 15 tvs layin one on another without a tv boxes.
Really risky purchase imo

Used to have a Polaroid TV. Would not buy again.
It worked OK, but temporarily lost the remote and non of the reasonably priced universal remotes would work with it. Was not supported by wither Sky or Tivo remotes.
Also was a bit funny about screen resolution when connecting some sources. It was 720p and would give that resolution with some sources. Connected things which displayed at 720p on other TVs, and they would only display at 480 or (if I remember correctly 720i).
Now have a Digihome, also a cheap brand but miles better quality.

What's so dumb about that? Paying to use a beans name on your product will do wonders especially if it's a common household brand regardless of what the brands current status is.

Great value. You could buy 2/3 of these for the price of a 'brand' and they won't be 2/3 times better. Cheap way to a decent big screen.

The brand would have a better picture surely that's the main thing with a big TV ??

The badge has nothing to do with the previous brand! It was bought in an auction when Polaroid went bust!
Just like when JVC, Warfedale and Sharp did the same...

I think most people would have the common sense to realise they won't be getting a 55" OLED TV for under £300. Aren't you looking at around £4,000 for one of those?

I would rather spend a little extra for a better brand and better quality.

Erm, sorry to say this, but Sony's sets are made by Foxconn.
Only Samsung and LG still make "ALL" of their own sets in their own factories. Some of Panasonics cheaper sets are Vestel, but their own sets that are manufactured in their factories are still very good.

Please anyone considering this, just don't buy Polariod. Very cheap components that have a higher probability of blowing after a while.

Not anymore, they sold off the TV division to TP Vision in China 3 years ago!

Oh :disappointed: Their professional display division (for retail displays, business screens, healthcare etc) are definitely still made by Philips, didn't realise they had sold off their TV division, thanks!

Remaining Audio and Video was sold off to a Japanese firm a year later too, Phillips just do lighting, healthcare and stuff like juicers n other kitchen gadgets now.

Had one of these tv a week now.
The sound is a bit tinny and the picture is reasonable on standard definition channels
But improves a lot when used on HD channels .The tv is made by vestal for asda, for the price not a bad tv
