 7 years and still looking good December 11, 2008

I got this beast back in December of 2001. It's worked without a hitch for 7 years and one major move. Yeah, the new lcd and plasmas are better, but until she goes I have no reason to even shop. That from a self-professed HT nut.
 Great TV when it works January 8, 2007

I got my TV in Feb. 2002. My screen went black in April 2002 with a blinking red light on the front, I had the warranty and they replaced the power supply and cord, or so the tech told me and they had the TV for 2 weeks. Works fine again. Jan. 2003, picture is extremely grainy, the tech comes out and takes my tv and replaces one of the boards on the tv works fine again, tv gone for 2 weeks again. October 2006 warranty if up, and I have a convergence problem, the touch focus does not work, and I can't manually move the red convergence, $450 for repairs, tv gone 3 weeks. Jan, 2007, screen goes black, blinking red light. Time for a new tv. I think I'll get an old reliable CRT TV. The Toshiba had a great picture when it worked, but not worth all of the problems. My advise would be b4 you buy, pick which one you want and search through forums to see what problems others may be having.
5 years later and it still looks better than the rest December 8, 2006
J. Lachiana (Andover, MA United States)
Don't know what happened with everyone elses screens but mine works the best. I've had every type of HD monitor and this still has the best picture. Closest to a "tube" picture you can get. No grain, no pixel pics, TRUE black levels.
Never had to change a lamp, never had to do anything other than turn it on and enjoy.
Couldn't be happier.
Mine died after 4 years January 13, 2006

I've been reading horror stories about toshiba on the web. Stay away, get a mitsubishi if u can afford it. I have a lot of friends that have them and they haven't had these kind of problems.

I purchased this TV from Best Buy...mistake number one. It broke after only 2 years. The quality of the picture is nice and clear. But I would not recommend the purchase of this TV.
