User Submitted Toshiba 42HM66 42-Inch 720p DLP HDTV Reviews Date: 2008-11-06 GARBAGE! I have had this TV for a year now and it has a great picture and sound. This, however, does not make up for the the fact that Toshiba will not honor their warranty. My HDMI input went out at 9 months and the part is no longer available. Toshiba informed me that I had 3 options. 1) Leave the TV the way it is. 2) Buy my own part and fix it ( the part is still out there, but since it is not available at a Toshiba authorized company, they will not pay for it. 3) they will give me $500 for it. This is the second product that Toshiba has tried to screw me on. Date: 2008-06-16 GET AN EXTENDED WARRANTY or pay the price. I wish I knew before I bought this TV for my dad. I think I paid $799 for it just 15 months ago and the lamp has to be replaced. Until this point I was happy with Toshiba products(I have a 42" LCD and two HD-DVD players) but now...How can you justify a TV that costs $1000 retail having to have a $200 part every year? Of course the warranty expired 3 months ago. An extended warranty may have covered the new bulb but you have to make sure, for $50 bucks or so the 2 year warranty would cover 2 bulbs at this rate and save about $400. Date: 2008-01-15 DLP Lamp Review I have a Toshiba 42HM66 Model # TV. We like the picture quality of the television but the sound is lacking - can't increase the way you want. The one major problem is we have had it 13 months now - and have to change the DLP Lamp - which costs over $300. This television we figure has about 2800 hours of usage on it. These lamps are advertised usage over 3000 hours - that's so false!!! I am so upset and know that i have to purchase a new lamp every year - i think not - I think i am going to sell this television and buy a SONY!!!! oh yeah - the customer support ith toshiba was no help either - good luck! Date: 2007-06-28 DLP TAX Be prepared to pay the "DLP Tax" annually. That is one lamp each year. Toshiba knows that these lamps will not run 6-8000 Hrs. 2000-3000 is normal. I have spoken to 3 different Toshiba Authorized repairs centers and hey all verify that a year is the average lifespan of these lamps. Update New Bulb purchased September 08 This will be Bulb number #4 since purchase in 2005. Now they tell me I need a new Ballast. Am going to Sony Bravia. Date: 2007-05-14 outstanding value This is a great HDTV for the price. Picture quality is outstanding.The only drawback is the sound quality is average and the remote control is poorly designed. I tried to have my Direct TV remote programmed but it was not compatible with this model.
