I have had this for a while now & have had NO PROBLEMS whatsoever, even with the built-in DVD player. Can't go back, my next TV will be a REGZA 1080p. When I have a room for a TV, it'll be there. HIGHLY recommend.
Now, when the TV is turned on, the picture appears very briefly and then fades to black. This TV gave good service for two years during which we had no problem with it. But, after 2 years, the backlight for the LCD gave out. One can still hear the sound, however. For a $750 TV, I expected a lot more than 2 years of service.
They can use it for a door stop. Unfortunately I have another Toshiba flat screen in the bedroom.guess I'll wait and see how long it lasts.
Audio works fine and I can change channels, but no picture, just a blank screen. Bought the Toshiba Regza 32" HDTV in January of '08 and it worked just fine until yesterday when it suddenly lost its picture.
Toshiba can kiss my you know what.I'll never buy one of their products again. After reading the reviews here I guess I have joined the ranks of the poor souls who paid alot of money for a TV only to have it last less than 2 years.
I liked this TV until yesterday. I'm buying a new TV tonight and I'll see what can be done with the Toshiba.maybe I'll take it back to the store and leave it in front of their door.
Buyers.I would consider what we are saying here.think about it.
Called Toshiba and took the unit to one of their authorized servicers. Bought this TV for a good price but had issues with the slow powerup and slight bluriness. They called back and said the "panel" has to be replaced (that's the WHOLE TV). HOWEVER, after owning it for 20 monts (1yr 8 mos) the picture (video) went dark. Googled the problem for this model number and got crazy number of reviews that all had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM. The quote was $1,600.00 for the repair - WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOSHIBA regardless of the quality of the picture or the features. Of course this problem occurs ONLY AFTER WARRANTY has expiredFeature are absolutely useless if the TV is dead.Check out the internet reviews BEFORE YOU BUY THIS
Due to this experience, I can confidently say I will not be purchasing a new Toshiba again. Repair of the television is approximately $600.
The sound was fine, the channels changed, but there was no picture. (After some research, I discovered that many people have had the same problem with Toshibas).
I had this television for just over a year when the picture failed. They suggested that I should have gotten an extended warranty.
The warranty period had just elapsed so I contacted Toshiba customer service to see what could be done. Not only were they rude and insulting but they indicated that failure of the television happened and said that that was just something that should be accepted with Toshibas.
The television cost just over $800 new. Samsung and Sony definitely make a better, more reliable product, plus their customer service is much more professional, helpful, and courteous.
