WORST PURCHASE I EVER MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-09-29
Don't ever purchase a Polaroid television. They are all riddled with fundamental problems and are built very cheaply from the ground up. The initial cost savings won't even begin to cover all the frustrating time you'll spend later when there's a problem. Polaroid isn't concerned with producing products that work the way they should or with customer service when the defects they know about kill your very expensive new television, they just want your money and then for you to go away.
IF YOU PURCHASE A TELEVISION FROM POLAROID I PROMISE YOU THAT YOU'LL REGRET IT.

Had some of the same problems with TV picture going out.......2007-02-26
TV worked ok for about 9 months. It's in my home office, so I barely use it. Picture quality was not that good, even when playing HD channels through a Motorola hi-def box. In fact, I ended up taking the hi-def box out and just connecting the coax to the monitor, because the picture wasn't that good - especially compared to a similiar Samsung monitor I have in my kitchen. Anyway, just fired it up, and I am experiencing similiar problems as some of the other posts - vertical lines appearing on the picture, the entire picture starts to shift down the screen, and for the few secons the picture locks in, it's purple. I thought it might be the cable signal, but it's the same signal that is powering my Samsung DLP, which is not having any problems. Unfortunately, it has the same problem when I tried to play a DVD to it, so I think it is toast. You get what you pay for...
Tv was ok if it still worked!.......2006-12-27
We purchased this TV the day after thanksgiving 2005 and it was a Christmas present so it was not even taken out of the box until 12/25/05. We put this in our bedroom so it has not been used much - maybe 12 hours in the past year. The other day when we turnedit on the picture was there for about 2 seconds then slid down the screen untill it was gone and all you could see was vertical lines - if yo uchange the channell the picture would come back for 2 seconds and do the same thing. I spent a lot of time holding for CS with polaroid and received nothing! Unfortunately we were just outside of the 1 year warranty but I thought maybe they woul dmake an exception since it was so close and pretty obvious that it was a xmas present because of the time of year but NO Luck! We are now going to take it to a local repair store and pay $45 to see if it can be fixed reasonbly. I am very dissappointed. I do think the at the TV was alright for what we used it for when it did work.
this tv is good.......2006-12-05
i don't know why this tv got a bad rating. the picture quality is amazing even when using the coaxial cables. the sound is mediocre, but plugging in comuter speakers fixes the problem.
my suggestion for the people complaining about picture quality is to buy a hd tuner for $200 (but cheaper on ebay) to get true over the air hdtv.

Not the best for RV bed viewing area.......2007-12-20
Greetings!
I purchased this TV to replace our old (9+ years) 'ICEBOX' (brand name)10 inch TV with built in DVD player that included a bunch of other really neat features. Nothing was wrong with the unit - we just felt it was time to try a HDTV with a rectangular screen.
This new Polaroid TV was placed on the top of a new HD, very small DVD player. They both sit together in exactly the same place as the old TV. With great expectation and excitement, we snuggled up comfortably in our RV's double bed to enjoy our new, updated movie experience.
I am sad to report that it was a great disappointment. The predominant problem is that even though the TV sits upon a low shelf at the foot of the bed, it is quite difficult for both my husband and myself to see the picture from what I guess is known as 'the proper viewing angle'. That said, if I stand across the room, or, even look down the hall at the screen - the picture is great!
Unfortunately, it seems as though this unit would be much better suited for, say, a kitchen, or any room that one was either standing or moving around. The viewing angle is much less important (meaning one gets a nice picture) when one's head is above, or at the same level as the TV.
Snuggled in bed does not lend itself to a good viewing angle :-(
The other disappointment was the sound. After reading all that I could in the manual to make sure the mistake was not either in the connections, or a setting on the silly remote (the remote is also poorly designed - not a big deal - but was enough to irritate everyone who used it!), we had to admit that the old "IceBox", 9+ year TV had far superior sound!
Long story short (too late for that now, eh?), tis not a bad TV- except if good sound is important and/or you will not be adding any sort of external surround sound systems - there are decent one's for a small area for $40-$70. This TV is just not a good choice for comfortable viewing in a small area (like snuggling up in bed!)
With all of this in mind, also consider the price. Ours cost about $240 -not on sale. IMPORTANT HINT: When choosing any TV for a small bedroom viewing situation; you can just about count on these small TVs being located on the lower shelves in the stores. They may look great when standing above them! Prepare yourself to maybe get down on the floor to have the proper viewing angle you may encounter once you get your beloved, new TV home! Never mind the odd looks one is sure to encounter while doing "TV positioning Yoga" on the showroom floor - It's not as bad as looking at each other the first night you have it all hooked up, both all full of expectation; the "SleepyTime" tea is just the right temperature; and then,"Is it just me, or does the image look kinda like an old fashioned negative? Here- hold my tea for a sec sweetie.....Oh! It looks far better when I sit up more and move to your side of the bed! Oh Da*%# it! I didn't mean to knock hot tea in your lap!".........
Terrible TV and service.......2007-11-12
I won the TLA-01511C as a door prize at a golf outing and the TV lasted two weeks. At first lines showed up across the screen, and then the entire screen shifted so only part of it could be seen. I had registered the product as I always do, however Polaroid will not honor the warranty without a sales slip. A terrible tv and terrible service.

Decent Picture, BAD Sound.......2007-09-15
I had bought this Polaroid LCD TV for my dad's kitchen to replace his 13" CRT tv with mono sound. The picture was okay, but the sound was terrible. It was worse than the 13" tv's one speaker. The problem is that the sound is mostly mid-range, like it's coming from a telephone receiver. There's very little low and high range frequencies. This is a problem with many LCD TV's and monitors with built-in speakers, so watch out in general. It's tempting because the smaller speakers make the TV look so much more compact; but there's a trade-off. We returned it and are now looking at a Magnavox, Sylvania, or Sharp. We have actually been going into some stores to demo them, and have been turning down the sound in all the other TV's in the display so they don't interfere with the sound in the TV we're reviewing. I think there must be a bunch of annoyed salespeople out there who can't figure out why the sound is down in all the TV's in their display :)
Horrible!.......2007-07-13
TV has stopped working twice. Sits mounted on a wall, so it doesn't even move! Polaroid is horrible to deal with for returns, wait time exceed 1-hour (makes you wonder how many of their products are breaking).
I personally am not impressed even when it works. You have to be at least five feet away to see a decent picture. May parents bought a Magnavox that is the same size and their's is much better.
