Ours is 2 years old and has had a dark line down the middle for about a year. Now it has one on either side of the screen, too, and the one in the middle is getting darker.

Well defined picture in HD, very useful and convenient remote especially with cable service. Toddler has touched screen and left marks we are unable to remove- tough to clean screen.

Bought this in December 2007, and it was money well spent. My wife wanted to upgrade from our 35" tube. I was reluctant, but am happy I went along. I had seen LCDs at friends and relatives houses, and was convinced that they were not that much better than what we had. Well they definately didn't have this.
The picture quality on the HD chanels is amazing. My wife, who does not watch sports, will watch now just to see the picture.
The sound is a little worse than what we had in our tube TV, but I knew that going in. If I want realy good sound, for a movie or music, I run it through our surround sound and its all good.
If you can find one of these at a discount for its age, you will not be dissapointed.

I bought this television 4 months ago at circuit city as an open box item for $700. It was an amazing deal, though I cracked the thing last night moving it through the house. Even though I had a three year warranty on it, CC won't cover the crack. It was great while it lasted... Very sharp picture with the ps3 hooked up and incredible color and brightness. I'm going to miss it a lot. Definitely recommend it, but always shop around for the best deal. Do your research and you might just find as good a deal as I did! And make for damn sure that your warranty covers accidental damage!

I purchased this TV along with a HD-DVD player in May 2007 and I thought it was a pretty good TV after doing extensive research and looking at the picture quality.
The worst case scenaio just happened this weekend during the football game- the LCD panel went bad a little more than 3 months outside of the warranty. After talking to Toshiba, I had an authorized tech out to check it. He voltmetered one connector on the main panel and said the board on the LCD is bad but they don't make that part so you have to replace the whole panel. The panel is not cost effective to replace since a brand new set will cost just as much. Toshiba would not offer any financial assistance whatsoever after speaking to a supervisor. They said the set is too old.
Bottom line- if you are going to buy this TV get an extended warranty. A TV this expensive should last more than 16 months. The TV and the defunct HD-DVD player were a total bust. AVOID TOSHIBA!
