From great on March 09 to rainbow stripes seven months later on Thanksgiving Weekend 09. Rainbow stripes on the right side show up within a few seconds of turning the TV on. Checked HDMI input from Receiver playing blue ray disc, on cable box directly, and on each of the HDMI inputs. No difference. Used different cable: still have stripes. Stripes are very sharp and clear and take up half the screen. Only half of the screen of the football games, NCIS, basketball games, House and any DVD/Blue ray disk is visible. Even unplugged set and plugged back in but to no effect.
Phone number for Toshiba customer support is all voice response, no real people, even though the recording says they are available 24 hours, 7 days a week. Based on my zip code, I was referred to a local contracted TV repair place. I'll see if anything happens on 4 day weekend.
Until this episode, the TV was wonderful but I try to wait 9 months before rating a product.
UPDATE 1 week later:
HMO - Toshiba TV repair much the same. The local TV repair had to call Toshiba Technical Services and go over the problem. If Toshiba Technical Services agrees, they send an ok to proceed with repair. Local TV repair orders the part. In this case, the panel (glass picture screen to me) was bad and had to be ordered. Estimated time: 1 more week.
UPDATE Returned repaired after almost 4 weeks
Picture excellent. Back to normal. Hope this lasts long time.

I purchased this TV about 10 months ago. It has been working great. It has a good appreance. The illuminating logo is an extra feature. It's picture quality is great and it actually makes my regular DVD movies look better. The only thing that is not so good is the sound. It is kind of soft. Over all it is a great product.

This is an excellent TV and I was able to purchase it for $1200 delivered. The menus are a little difficult until you learn them, but very nice after you do. The sound system is outstanding, and the picture has several modes to choose from depending on what your source is. This is an outstanding bargain at anything close to $1200. Consumer Reports had it rated high at $1900. Toshiba is another one of those companies that is experiencing a slow economy, so look for a reduced price on any model you choose.

I purchased this TV in early February, so I've had a few months to break it in. Here are my thoughts. When hooked up to a true HD signal 720p or 1080i/p the picture is crisp and clean. I adjusted the color settings to make it appropriate for my living room, something I suggest that EVERYONE does. Sometimes it seems that the whole picture will move except for one part of the screen, I haven't figured out if that is a TV issue, or a source issue. I have to say I am a little disappointed when I watch a SDTV from my DirecTV DVR, and because of that I don't watch much TV in SD. Call me a HD snob, but the HD picture is SOOOO much better. Like many people have said, the sound isn't great, but it isn't terrible either. I run all the sound through a H/K reciever, so that doesn't really affect me. DVD's look great, Blu-Ray on my PS3 looks amazing.

I am quite happy with my purchase. The delivery guy even helped me get it on its stand before he took off. If you are waffling about this item, waffle no more and just get it, you won't regret it, besides football season is already here, Go Niners!!!

We got this TV for $1386 (w/ shipping) after having missed the $1199 blowout sale. We're nonetheless very happy as the TV has delivered excellent picture quality with no hassles/issues and a well-designed sleek black frame around screen.
