Toshiba 46HM84 46-Inch TheaterWide HD-Ready Rear-Projection DLP TV
Lamp problem
I purchased the 52hmx84 in Feb 05. The lamp blew the first time in October of 2005 and Toshiba covered it under warantee. The lamp just blew again in Jun 06. This now seems to be covered under an extended warantee. Cost of the bulbs is $[...] plus shipping. I got about 4333 hours on each bulb. Anyone interested in buying this model of DLP should purchase a lamp to keep on hand since the wait time could be a few days depending on mailing. Toshiba only has 8 parts distributors in the U.S. they told me, although it seems to be available online from other sources. The Picture is great and the built in speakers are good. I notice no difference between component input quality and the HDMI input so that's a user preference.
