Toshiba 46HM95 46-Inch Diagonal 16:9 Integrated HD DLP Projection TV with HDMI
Lamp Burnout & Fan Noise
1.Excessive Fan Noise.  This was driving me crazy when I initially purchased the set.  The intensity of the fan noise seemed to be intermittent.  I finally had a technician come out to the house and he opened the back and uncovered the problem.  Seems that were some wires that were pretty close to the fan and this was what was causing the noise.  He tied the wiring up with a plastic strip and that took care of the noticeable fan noise!  It's gone - completely.    2. Lamp Burn out.  Well I've become the latest victim to the early  lamp burnout issue.  I've have this set approximately 4 months.  I'm less than thrilled with the fact that it appears that lamp replacement takes so long to rectify, but I'm glad to hear Toshiba admit there's a problem with the life of the lamp.  I just called it  into the service center.  I'll report back how long it actually takes.  UPDATE: The technician came to replace the lamp.  I was down only 3 days, which is very reasonable.  I'll get a backup lamp and keep it on hand, it's not like you can run out to a convenience store at midnight on a Friday night and purchase!    Overall, I've been very pleased with the set.  These have been the only to issues I've encountered  so far.  The picture quality and color are great, at least to a novice gadget geek such as myself. Initially I set out to purchase a Samsung, but the store was out of stock and I decided to go with the Toshiba.  If I had to do it all over again, I'd still would purchase this set. When I factor in picture quality, style and the price I paid at the time of purchase ($1500.00), a great price for a 46\\" DLP - it's hard to pass up.
