Excerpt from the 6/30/07 article:
"The Polaroid set seems like a good deal until you find out what the Circuit City and Polaroid websites fail to disclose, which is that Polaroid HDTVs cannot be repaired after the warranty period expires!"]]>Nov 24th 2007 1:29AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/23/polaroid-launches-definia-line-of-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/23/polaroid-launches-definia-line-of-lcd-hdtvs/
As long as the warranty is long enough to get you past the infant mortality stage, it should be fine.

I saw some story about the cost of making a repair on a budget TV. Accounting for shipping costs both ways, the cost of the parts and labor, it's not far from the cost of a new set.

It's incredibly wasteful, but when we're talking about a product made as much as into the millions of units using very cheap labor, cheap parts and cheap design in a developing country, it's tough to justify the cost of repair labor in a developed country.]]>Nov 24th 2007 8:28PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/23/polaroid-launches-definia-line-of-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/23/polaroid-launches-definia-line-of-lcd-hdtvs/Jan 3rd 2008 10:15AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/23/polaroid-launches-definia-line-of-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/23/polaroid-launches-definia-line-of-lcd-hdtvs/Nov 24th 2007 6:56PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/23/polaroid-launches-definia-line-of-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/23/polaroid-launches-definia-line-of-lcd-hdtvs/Nov 25th 2007 9:48PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/23/polaroid-launches-definia-line-of-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/23/polaroid-launches-definia-line-of-lcd-hdtvs/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polaroid_Corporation for references.]]>Nov 26th 2007 5:12AM
