Toshiba 46H84 46-Inch Projection HD-Ready TV
Beware of image burn
I bought the Toshiba 46 inch rear projection TV in November. Decent set, HD looks really good. Good sound quality. Overall a good TV.  <br /> <br />This was my first big screen rear projection purchase. I'm not one to read the operation manuals so this problem I am having with \\"image burn?\\" is my fault. But the TV itself makes it hard to avoid this problem. I knew veiwing the PC on tv and video games are bad for rear projections. But so is watching the TV in \\"natural\\" mode. In the manual is staets a few time that you should watch programs sing the entire screen, no bars on the top and botton (widescreen dvds sometimes cause that) or bars on the right and left or the \\"natural\\" settings. OK, I'm fine with that now that I know, might have been nice if the sales guy mentione dthis to me :( <br /> <br />Any how, when you turn on your set it always defaults to the natural setting. I have an HD digital cable box and it only uses the \\"whole\\" screen on the HD channels. So if Toshiba knows about this problem why not have the TV default to full screen? It's a bit of a pain to turn on the TV (especially since I use the cable remote) and then set the TV to a setting other than natural. <br /> <br />I had the TV repair guy out (best buy warranty) and he said he sees alot of this with rear projection TV's but usually not in only 6 months of use. (this burning actually happened after 4 months if use) Replacing the tubes cost as much as the TV.  <br /> <br />Learn from my mistake if you purchase this TV :) <br /> <br />
