Summary: Bad quality and customer service
Review: After the 6 month of possession, this TV went down miserably. Oneday, while I was watching the tv, I heard the 'pop' noise from the speaker and the picture went out. After a second or two, when the picture finally came back on, I noticed the semi-transparent vertical streaks across the screen. The artifact was like watching the tv through a screen door. The picture still goes out time to time but the vertical streaks remain the same.

Toshiba tried to have someone come out to repair the tv for 3 month without success (couldn't find a repair shop near by Topeka, KS). After I filed the complaint to AG's office and BBB, Toshiba finally decide to give me a refund but it will take another 4 more weeks.

When this tv works, it works great but now I have serious doubt about this product and Toshiba's customer service (one of the worst I've ever had). I just hope that nobody has to go through what I have been going through for the past 3 months.

Summary: State of the Art Television
Review: At the present time there is not that much programming in HDTV, but it is changing fast. It is limited to broadcast TV. Jay Leno and Monday Night Football are the first to come to mind. At present the digital satellite dishes don't support HDTV-I'm told they will soon. Satellite still provides a better quality signal than cable systems. It will be 2002 before HDTV is in widespread use.

For display purposes this is the best quality image in a TV you can get. Is it worth the price? Not yet considering limited amount of programming. In another year the price will have dropped some and you will be able to take advantage of HDTV quality.

If you want to buy a big screen TV now, if you can't wait for Monday Night Football, then this is the one to buy. For the best picture quality get a digital satellite dish, with a local broadcast antenna and this TV.

If you can wait another year, that would be a better time to buy.

Summary: Old model
Review: This is a 2 year old model and the new model is $[money]less and is alot better. Model number on the new one is 65HX81, it is now called the cinema series, and it is toshibas top of the line. I own the 50 inch model and it is awesome. If you buy one, make sure you buy it from a dealer with ISF certification, that is needed to calibrate the set after a burn in time of 3 months. It is usually around $[money], but if the person you buy it from has the certification and the equipment, it might be free. Mine was. All projection tvs need to be calibrated after burn in, then every 1-2 years. Picture quality is greatly increased, and so is tv life. Only ISF trained people with the proper equipment can do this. ISF.com.

Summary: clearly the best
Review: This model has just come to canada this year, and when i got the chance to audition it, and its little brother the TW56X81 56" my answer was clear but which one would i choose. These tv's are identical in every way except for size. I would recommend this tv even to my enemy. Totally ready for the future. "5 stars" BY the way i bought 56 because it's all i could accomadate.

Summary: Absalutely incredible.......
Review: This television is the best purchase I have made in the last ten years. The picture quality rivals anything you will ever see in the near future. It has every possible input you will ever need. The supplied remote is very user-friendly. Video games are spectacular on this screen. One thing, this television needs to be in a very large room. I am limited to fourteen feet in distance from viewing area to the T.V. Another five or six feet would be perfect. Anyone considering a unit in this price range owes it to themselves to give this on a try.....Happy viewing..

Review: Toshiba Projection TVs are the worst in the market. And when calling their customer service, forget it. They are just too ignorant and clueless as to how to resolve any problem.
