Lamp problems Just brought this tv and only had it for a month and the lamp blew out! Called Toshiba customer service and ask them if this happens alot with this tv. Customer Service stated that it may have been a bad batch. Just be warned, you may want to get the warranty. Also, they stated it would take 3 to 10 days to get the lamp. Expensive lesson!

Inspect screen carefully before accepting delivery. Before signing and accepting delivery of any Toshiba DLP, be sure to check the screen to make sure that the coating on the inside of the screen is uniform. On mine, there was a circle about 10" in diameter that you can see in certain lighting and even when the TV is off! It will appear lighter than the surrounding areas at times and can be annoying. I called Toshiba and had a service man come out and even though he acknowledged that this is common, Toshiba will not replace the screen. I w...

Same Problem, Here is the Solution... MUST READ First, DO NOT buy this TV. 62HM95 or any other Toshiba HD DLP models manufactured in 2005.(that includes models still in stores through mid to late 2006) These models have a defect that results in the projection bulb going bad at any time. Bulb life of 100-800 HOURS(2-5 months) is expected, even the replacements from Toshiba. Mine lasted 53 days! Replacement parts are NOT currently available and even if they were you would need another one very soon. I wouldn't buy a Toshiba Rear projecti...

Poor Design In my opinion the design is poor for the 52HM95 I have. The $200-300 light bulb blew after only 100-200 hours of use. The warranty replacement blew after only 50-100 hours of use. Other than the potential cost of ownership being several thousands of dollars per yer in bulbs it seems good.

Bad Choice I purchased this tv and noticed there was a big white spot on the screen, while on and off. The tv would power off for no reason several times during veiwing. The picture was fairly good. After reading several bad reviews i contacted a friend of mine that owns a audio, video business in another town. He said "please don't tell me you bought a Toshiba" then proceeded to tell me of all the problems with them. I had two days left to return or exchange this tv. With his suggestions I immediately w...

LEMON? I loved the TV for the 2 months it worked. I purchased my 62HM95 on 1-27-06. Exactly 2 months to the day the lamp blew out. Approx: 200 hours on the bulb. Called Toshiba for a replacement bulb. They said I would receive by Friday. Called on Friday had not even been shipped. Still waiting on my replacement. Very disappointed with Toshiba customer service. BUYER BEWARE! Have read lots of reviews since purchasing the TV of people complaining of bulb going out within 2 - 3 months.

Lamp Blew Out at 5 months TV picture and features are very good for the price, but the lamp blew at 5 months! Since we only use this set about 25 hours a week its only at about 500 hours or so and the lamp is rated by Toshiba for 6000-8000 hours. Customer service was typical for a large electronics company... CRAPPY & UNCARING! Laying out $250 is enough for me to say no more Toshiba... EVER!

Beautiful picture - Lousy bulbs I purchased my 62HM95 (62" DLP) set September 2005. The original bulb burned out in late January just under 5 months after purchase of the TV I guess that's actually pretty good - I'm reading from others bulbs only lasting 2 months on light use! I love the quality of the picture when the bulb is working. It's very sharp and clear. But starting a few weeks before the bulb burns out, the picture dims considerably then eventually just gives up the ghost! The replacement bulb lasted almost exa...

TV and Toshiba Customer support issues I purchased my 62" TV in December 2005. Within 2 months I noticed a humming noise coming from the back of the TV. I figured it was from the fans cooling the TV and didn't give it much further thought. However, the humming noise became worse over the next few months and eventually got downright annoying. I contacted a service tech who determined the problem was the color wheel going bad and it will need to be replaced for a mere thousand dollars. Thank goodness the TV is still under the manufactu...
