Toshiba 27DF46 27" Pure Flat Standard Definition CRT TV
Piece of Junk -- DO NOT BUY THIS TV!
This was my first Toshiba product after being a dedicated Sony buyer for many years.    The features of the this unit are great. For a cheap price you get HD reception and decent analog as well. (HD resolution is only 480 for you videophiles). The remote control is clunky and the menus are way too complicated. This is not a great TV for channel surfers as there is a 'delay' each time you change a station before the picture appears and you cannot surf through by quickly pressing the channel up/down button. The TV changes to one channel and then will NOT change to another until the picture actually shows on screen.    My biggest gripe however is that I have had this TV for less than 90 days and it is already in the shop for service! I have owned Sony's that NEVER needed service and were only replaced when their features were obsolete or my needs changed. This will probably be my first and only Toshiba.    In addition to the frustration of an inoperable TV, it has taken 4 weeks to have my TV repaired by Toshiba's authorized service center and I am still waiting for my unit to be returned.     ** FINAL UPDATE: August 8th, 2006: After two months of wrestling with Toshiba \\"Customer Service\\" I now own a SONY TV and I will never buy another Toshiba product. Toshiba could not tell me even how many MONTHS it would be before they could get a replacement board for my TV. They finally agreed to issue an exchange (not a refund) to the store I purchased this unit from. Fortunately the manager of the local store allowed me to use the Toshiba as credit towards a Sony. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau over Toshiba's poor customer service and products. I have learned over the past 5 months that ALL Toshiba CRT TV's are now manufactured in Thailand because they purchased Orion Electric. There are several internet message boards with posts testifying that Toshiba tube based TV's are having tons of problems since this change took place. Spend your hard-earned money with somebody else! Caveat Emptor!
