Toshiba 46HM84 46-Inch TheaterWide HD-Ready Rear-Projection DLP TV
failed in first 2 weeks, 6 months later still not working, but great once settled in
We received the TV in mid Dec/2004. We like it a lot.    Worked great for about 2 weeks and suddenly would not turn back on.     Figured out that if we unplugged it, it would come back on after being unplugged for a minute.    The authorized Toshiba service people here have given up after 2 service calls and 2 parts replacements.     Each time the replacement part was ordered it took 6 weeks!    We have been limping along by unplugging it every night.    3 weeks ago the lamp blew. The lamp has a 1 year warranty and it was less than 6 months old.     BUT! Toshiba doesn't have any. It has been on backorder for 3 weeks now and they have no idea when any will show up.  Each week they say \\"Please try again in a few days\\".    It's a great tv when it works, like it a lot. But, going on to a month without any tv is no fun I can tell you.    updated: Nov 2008  Toshiba found a replacement bulb soon after I wrote this review and express shipped it to us.  Since then we've replaced the bulb twice (about once a year) without any supply problems. The bulbs are expensive -approx $200!  We figured out the issue oursleves with not being able to turn it back on - it has something to do with using an HDMI cable to connect the tv to an old Dish Network DVR.  We switched to using composite cables and everything has been fine since.
