A great value in a $1000 HDTV
It is January 2007 and I have used this TV now for about one week. I was going to wait longer to post a review, but since there are none up here, I thought it would be useful to potential buyers to have it now.
I bought this TV for my mother as a Christmas gift and my budget was $1000. For that amount of money the HDTV choices were: 27" to 37" 720p LCD; 32" to 35" CRT- based sets; and a few 40-42" DLP sets. Given that the set was for a living room, size was an important priority. So t...

DLP TAX
Be prepared to pay the "DLP Tax" annually. That is one lamp each year. Toshiba knows that these lamps will not run 6-8000 Hrs. 2000-3000 is normal. I have spoken to 3 different Toshiba Authorized repairs centers and hey all verify that a year is the average lifespan of these lamps.
Update New Bulb purchased September 08 This will be Bulb number #4 since purchase in 2005. Now they tell me I need a new Ballast. Am going to Sony Bravia.

Terrific TV for Super Price!
Okay, i like many others out there decided to move up do HDTV, but have end up searching for something affordable for 10 weeks. After first targeting an affordable 37" Lcd I talked myself into going larger with something in 42" size. I worked it hard but found Lcd and Plazmas of this size and in the $900-$1000 price range to be virtually nonexistant, especially if you desire a built-in tuner. I had kind of shyed away from Dlp because of the viewing angle, but when I saw the fantastic price of...

Magnificent beast of a TV
We have had this TV for 3 days now and are very pleased thus far. Amazon had an amazing deal (which they unfortunately no longer have) through TigerDirect and we managed to purchase this for $779.99 flat with free shipping.
The picture and image quality are phenomenal and comparable to the LCDs and plasmas we looked at in Circuit City and Best Buy. The colors (especially the reds, blues and greens) are extremely vivid and sharp, especially with nature shows. The image seems to get a ...

Excellent Picture!
After doing an EXTENSIVE amount of research on all of the different possibilities for a budget of around a thousand dollars, I decided that DLP would be the way to go. I was considering both this and the samsung 46" model. Once I saw the excellent reviews on this product along with the amazon price-drop to $799 including shipping I had to jump on it.
I have been VERY impressed with the TV so far (have had it a couple weeks). Compared with what I saw at Best Buy when I was still lookin...

Excellent tv for an excellent price...
I bought this tv almost three weeks ago and I have been pleased ever since. The 1080i display is as good as any plasma displays that I have seen, as well as my parents 1080p dlp tv, and the for the size of the tv you can't beat the price. However, I bought it from tiger direct for only eight hundred dollars. The tv has all of the connections that you can want; including hdmi and dual component connections. I bought the tv for my PS3, and the graphics look amazing. The picture clearity is imp...

GREAT TV FOR THE PRICE
This is a GREAT TV for the price. The pictures on amazon dont do it justice, they show a grey border, but it is actually BLACK - (It looks really sharp and has eye appeal)
The picture quality is superb!
The performance is great!
The sound isn't that great, but if you have a surround sound system, then this is nothing to worry about!
For the price I give it 5 Stars!!!!!

DLP Lamp Review
I have a Toshiba 42HM66 Model # TV. We like the picture quality of the television but the sound is lacking - can't increase the way you want. The one major problem is we have had it 13 months now - and have to change the DLP Lamp - which costs over $300. This television we figure has about 2800 hours of usage on it. These lamps are advertised usage over 3000 hours - that's so false!!! I am so upset and know that i have to purchase a new lamp every year - i think not - I think i am going to s...

GET AN EXTENDED WARRANTY or pay the price.
I wish I knew before I bought this TV for my dad. I think I paid $799 for it just 15 months ago and the lamp has to be replaced. Until this point I was happy with Toshiba products(I have a 42" LCD and two HD-DVD players) but now...How can you justify a TV that costs $1000 retail having to have a $200 part every year? Of course the warranty expired 3 months ago. An extended warranty may have covered the new bulb but you have to make sure, for $50 bucks or so the 2 year warranty would cover 2 bulb...
