Toshiba 46HM95 46-Inch Diagonal 16:9 Integrated HD DLP Projection TV with HDMI
Great TV ... bulb still works (knock on wood)
I bought this TV the day after Christmas 2005. I have enjoyed the tv so far up to this point.    Pros:     I take advantage of the split screen feature all the time. It isn't a picture inside a picture thing...its 2 pictures side by side. Granted the images are not the large 46 inch widescreen size, but I find it perfectly fine for what I use it for. I like to watch sports or shows while playing a video game at the same time. This is very usefull.     The image quality overall is great. An HD image is really needed to reap the full benefits. DVD's look great also using the component cables. The PS2 looks ok if you have regular A/V composite cables. (I use the component ones I got for $5 I got off ebay and they seem to look better) The screen size is not extended all 46 inches however. There are visible black spaces on both sides of the image. (not a big deal but its a PS2 thing and not the TV)    The built in flash media reader is really cool to look at your pictures. I haven't used it too often but when I did it was fun to share pictures with the family this way.    Cons:     I've had this for 3 months now and the original bulb is still ok...whew! I've read that there could be a 4 month failure so I'll just have to wait and see. I also read somewhere that some of the later models were sold with corrected bulbs so I am hoping I got one of those. I'm not sure if switching to low bulb power has any effect on it but I did so just in case. The image still looks just as great anyway.    There is a fan that is continuously running 24 hours a day. The fan is loudest right when you shut off the TV for about 5 minutes or so. Afterwards, it becomes much quieter, but still noticable. I live in a small and very quiet apartment and if I stand still I can hear from just about anywhwere. Does this really bother me? Not really. The place is not sooo quiet that you can't hear anything besides your own breathing. So the fan won't drive me insane or anything.    Becareful of cables that have connectors that are almost too durable. I have some audio cables (forgot the brand) that have thick metal on the ends. They were kind of tough to pull out of the tv and when they did come out they also pulled the plastic color indicators on the back of the TV. They may just be the cables themselves that caused this, but fortunately the inputs still work.    There is a quick rainbow effect when you shift your eyes quickly from one side to another when you are watching something. It happens for about a split second but you can tell. This is something I just got used to and there is nothing I can really do about it.         Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase. If there are any reasons to really give bad remarks it's because of the several minor things that occur. They are noticable but unless you have some deep compulsive issues about minute details, they really won't be a problem. Besides, watching the Superbowl in HD was well worth it. I can't wait for baseball in HD. I am still waiting to see if the bulb will fail anytimes soon. I certainly hope I will be waiting for a long time.     REVIEW EDIT: 1 year later...During the summer, the bulb finally blew out. I believe you can tell when it's about to happen when the image tends to blink for a couple minutes once the set is turned on. It looks like the image is flickering before it finally gets to \\"normal\\". A couple weeks later it blew, about 6 months after purchase.     I was able to get a replacement bulb from Toshiba (under warranty) in about 1 week. I replaced it myself with no problem.    However, now the picture engine that others are talking about is malfunctioning. The set will shut off by itself multiple times. It would work fine again after turning it back on, but one time it wouldn't stay on at all. Call to Toshiba was not helpful because they told me to call a local repair guy. Once the guy came, it worked without him doing anything to it. hmmm.     It works now but it did shut off twice after the repair visit.     If I could change my rating from 4 stars...it would be more like 2 now. Avoid this heap.
