I picked this tv up about a month ago, and thus far have very few qualms with it. It's stylish design has earned a few compliments from people, and fits perfectly atop the dresser in my room. I will say that when I hooked up non-digital cable, there were strange black shadowy lines. This could be due to having a low-quality coaxial cable though. Once I hooked up a digital cable box to the tv, the lines vanished.

This tv has a wide variety of inputs as well; I use it to watch movies from my laptop with excellent results, and the HD looked amazing when I hooked an HD cable box up to it.

The problems: There are only two things that I could find wrong with this tv. The first is the sound. When using the speakers in the tv, it does have a very tinny, flat sound. There are no rca audio outs, but I hooked up a headphone stereo cable to the headphone jack, and plugged it into my computer surround sound. Another easy solution would be to pick up a 30 dollar logitech speaker system. When connected to another system, the sound is great. Also, the tv has no program codes for the universal remote supplied by my cable company. A small problem, but worht noting.

All in all, I am very pleased with the purchase of this tv.

Bought this tv on nov 26 2006. We are getting a white screen. For a $319.00 tv you would think the tv would last more then 23 months. Called the polariod company they told us that it is the video card in the tv. They are willing to sell us other one for $155.00 plus pay to ship to broken one back to them. I will not be buying anymore polariod products when I fell that they are not willing to stand by their products and not telling customers that there is a problems with the video cards in these tvs.

I am a college student. I see tons of televisions. I also worked in an electronics store, so I know my stuff. This TV is wonderful. Why get this one instead of a Sony or Panasonic? Because it is cheaper! And it is worth it. The picture on the TV is obviously not as good as Sony, but it is very, very close. It has a much higher resolution than most other TV's, including many Sony. I would say the only downside to this TV is the sound, while the speakers are quite good, they have a low bass potential, but after testing a few other TV's in the local store, I found that it was a common problem. Bottom line - great picture (High Definition with progressive scan), great TV, and its cheap!
