Toshiba 56HM195 56-Inch Theaterwide Integrated (1080p) HD DLP Rear Projection TV
All is well till the DLP lamp pops after 45 days.
I bought my TV in April 2006 and it has a beautiful picture. I added an X-box 360 and was even more pleased with my decision to get a 1080p television. Yesterday I was watching a show and I heard a loud \\"POP\\", then my picture went blank. As it turns out the Toshiba representitive had me do minor surgery on my TV to remove a lamp unit that had gone out way before it's time. They say you should get anywhere from 6000 - 8000 hours of life per bulb, but I can assure you that I barely got to 400 before it popped. Now they are honoring the warranty and sending a replacement unit and I am pleased that at least the turnaround is quick, but I wished I had known of the problems they had with some of these particular models. The Toshiba representitive said that they had a small glitch in the lamp units for this model and would be sending me the \\"New and Improved\\" lamp to replace my old one. So in closing I just want to say that if you choose to go with this model TV make sure to register online ASAP and if offered buy an extended warranty.<br /><br />I hope this was helpful.
