Polaroid's been struggling with a bit of an identity crisis since the halcyon days of instant photography. Did you know, for example, that the company's been putting its name on TVs? Polaroid's celebrating CES with the release of two ambitious (if not particularly memorably named) sets at extremely low price point. The more notable of the two is a 50-inch 4K set with three HDMI inputs, priced at $1,000. Can't quite swing that? Good news, a mere $600 will get you a 50-inch set with a Roku Streaming Stick built-in -- and that one's got HDMI inputs, as well. Both sets will be on-hand in Vegas next week.

Polaroid TV's, now that's going to get all the conspiracy theorist going crazy about their TV's taking pictures of them.

Seriously though, how can they meet these price points when no one else can?

I have no idea George but I think they are making a bundle with ....GASP..... instant photography. Polaroids were one of the hottest gifts last Christmas. The kids are CRAZY for them.

Then it's money for basically nothing then. :) Man I would love to own the Sunkist trademark. Just keep on cashing in those checks!
