DON"T PURCHASE

Strengths: NONE

Weakness: Read the Reviews ... The Picture will go out within 6 months

I got this as a Xmas present. The screen went out today, when I started looking online for information I found numerous reviews from other that had the same issue. Target and Radio Shack sell this item. Polaroid will not reimburse for it.

I've had mine for 9 months now and have no problems with mine. I use it frequently. I got mine at Sam's Club.

Cute design --- BAAAD CHOICE

Strengths: Cute design, but

Weakness: Cute design doesn't fit standard kitchen cupboards; Technically inferior product

I've gone through TWO of these units since March 06 - that makes it seven months including two months while the first one was 'being repaired'. Radio Shack will not refund (I SHOULD have checked their return policy!) and Polaroid says, "Tough Luck, Sucker!"
Apparently the voltage regulator can't handle any power surge at all. I've been told that power surges probably blew out both units and I should have had them on surge protectors but this is not stated in any information that came with the TV or in the manual.
This TV is very difficult to install and it doesn't fit standard kitchen cupboards.
One problem that is not the fault of the unit is that an LCD screen is a bad choice for any location where you want to move around and actually SEE a picture.
I won't buy from Polaroid again.
DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!

Polaroid FDM0700A

Strengths: Inexpensive - Multipurpose

Weakness: Appears to be the monitor

The monitor ceased to function in 10 months after purchase. It was installed properly and use frequently. Polaroid would not warrentee product after the 90 day mark. I would not recommend this product.

Polaroid tv is faulty

Strengths: none

Weakness: doesn't last

I received this item for Christmas and it only worked for a few months before the screen went black. I called polaroid and they basically said Too bad the warranty is up (90 days!), but for $110. we can replace it.....what so that it can happen again after another few months. I took it to a repair shop (mind you it worked for only 6 months maybe) and they said it needed a new display assembly board but polaroid does not/will not sell internal repair parts. What a waste of money!! We replaced it with a Sony they have a much better warranty. We will NEVER buy from Polaroid again. Who expects a 90 warranty on a television, I expected Polaroid to back their product better than this.

I've had mine for almost 9 months now and it still works well. I use it frequently. It is in my kitchen. I have it hooked up to cable. I love it. I purchased mine at Sam's Club.
