Can't go back, my next TV will be a REGZA 1080p. HIGHLY recommend. I have had this for a while now & have had NO PROBLEMS whatsoever, even with the built-in DVD player. When I have a room for a TV, it'll be there.
For a $750 TV, I expected a lot more than 2 years of service. 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.
Audio works fine and I can change channels, but no picture, just a blank screen. I liked this TV until yesterday.
Buyers.I would consider what we are saying here.think about it. Unfortunately I have another Toshiba flat screen in the bedroom.guess I'll wait and see how long it lasts.
Toshiba can kiss my you know what.I'll never buy one of their products again. They can use it for a door stop.
Bought the Toshiba Regza 32" HDTV in January of '08 and it worked just fine until yesterday when it suddenly lost its picture. 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'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.
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 Called Toshiba and took the unit to one of their authorized servicers. 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. Bought this TV for a good price but had issues with the slow powerup and slight bluriness. HOWEVER, after owning it for 20 monts (1yr 8 mos) the picture (video) went dark. They called back and said the "panel" has to be replaced (that's the WHOLE TV).
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. The television cost just over $800 new. The sound was fine, the channels changed, but there was no picture. Samsung and Sony definitely make a better, more reliable product, plus their customer service is much more professional, helpful, and courteous. 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.
Due to this experience, I can confidently say I will not be purchasing a new Toshiba again. I had this television for just over a year when the picture failed. (After some research, I discovered that many people have had the same problem with Toshibas). Repair of the television is approximately $600.
