Toshiba 50H71 50-Inch HDTV-Ready Projection TV
Worth the Risk After All
We had reservations about the purchase of so complicated a product by E-mail. On arrival our fears seemed justified, the picture was rotated about 15 deg. Several calls were required to Toshiba before a local service center could be found that would perform warranty work on a set not purchased at their facility. One agreed but said they couldn't come for three weeks!? Finally, we located one that came in two days. The serviceman aligned everything; color, symmetry, focus, etc. It made a tremendous difference in the picture. Actually, we were fortunate that the set required adjustment. This procedure should be part of the delivery of every television set!! Sound is good for built-in speakers but no match for the clean, transparent sound of a good quality component system. (Bose for example.) Reliability remains to be seen, but initial picture quality is so good, (at least the equal of anything, regardless of brand, we have seen at shops and friends,) that the several anxious days we spent wondering if we had made an expensive mistake, now seems worth it!
