So I'll will help other folks with their tosiba decisions. It's the right thing.

I'm giving them until the first of January, then I'm going to contact different Consumer Products referral magazines, and wherever else. Just the planet has thousands of readers, right? so if just a few folk on here decide to look a different brand, it could cost them several thousand as I figure it. I imagine there will be a few after Christmas TV shoppers.

Do you have a speech impediment or are you really saying To-See-Ba? if so, that sucks...**** Tosiba! Toshiba on the other hand rules!

No, but seriously, I am interested in posting it anywhere that I can. Thanks for the tip.

Sorry....Toshiba. My Toshiba sucks dude...Enjoy yours. Toshiba rules the salvage yard in my neighborhood. The most awesome looking paper weight out there.

I have right here on my desk a class action settlement against toshiba for their faulty bulbs, I didnt send it in only because I couldnt find all the information they needed. I have a 56 inch DLP Toshiba and have replaced the bulb 3 times in less than 2 years. I do also own a Toshiba LCD that I havent had any trouble with (knocks on wood) and I love it. Im not sure if its to late for you to do anything but heres a website that might help you www.DLPLAMPSETTLEMENT.com or call toll free 1-800-894-1766. I have a buddy that bought the same TV as me only a 62 inch and has replaced at least one bulb AND the light engine.

I appreciate it. I went on the website and it says that it is for 2004, 2005 models. Mine is a 2006, but I can assure they didn't get their problem fixed.

that light engine is the killer. $450 part on ebay last time i checked.

Horrible experience. I bought a Toshiba 3 years ago, only for the picture to fade out. Older line (three years old!) and they do not carry parts.

My family has owned several POS Sanyos that last FOREVER. How in the hell does a supposedly top of the line Toshiba get out-done by Sanyo?

I am enjoying my Panasonic Plasma now. Screw Toss-hiba.

Check out the Samsung LED DLP's. If you want a really big screen, that's the way to go!

Did you call Toshiba at all? I'm kind of like an old dog that keeps diggin' up the same bone. I'm going to irritate the crud out of them. I would buy another Toshiba LCD if they would send me like a 70% discount card or something. Throw me a new bone, cause I'm gonna wear this one out.

I went DLP thinking that it would out last the LCDs or Plasmas. Guess I found out better. I just don't think that you can't beat the quality and space saving of the panels.

I've owned a 50" Toshiba DLP for 2.5 years now and don't regret a bit. Damn thing is on all day long and I'm still on my first bulb. Lucky I guess.

Laptop. They sent me an email confirming it was shit, and not to their standards. I sent it in for repair on 3 different occasions. 3 times they sent it back, not fixed, and refuse to replace it.

I'd be wary of LED engine DLPs. Many models have had a slight geometry problem on the edges. Plasmas no longer have an issue with burn in, but the gas escapes the pixels slowly over time, causing a small, but steady degradation in the picture. LCDs basically use a large fluorescent backlight that just goes when it goes, but it is cheap and easily replaceable by the end user.

LCD gives you best combination of life, picture quality, low glare, and size right now, but a 46 inch TV will still set you back about 1000-2200 depending upon the model.

If you can afford it, get a Samsung.

educate yourself before you keep spreading falsehoods
