I'm sorry for those who experienced trouble
My Toshiba arrived in perfect condition and has worked flawlessly for two months. I appreciate the three HDMI inputs and have used them all. Cable box, HD DVD and Blu-ray. The picture is bright and clear. For those of us that like to save electricity there is a power saver mode that draws only 2 Watts.

The remote is comprehensive. One problem is it cannot be programmed for HD-DVD. Toshiba is working on a fix. Until then I use a Harmony remote which works perfectly for all components.

Toshiba 57hm167 TV
This was our second Toshiba in a row and the second one we've had major problems with. 31 days after purchasing it, it quit working. It's now been two full months with no repair. Toshiba claims the "part is back ordered"- for two full months. It's not the lamp or another common part, but a mystery part that needs to be shipped. Apparently from the fourth dimension. We've had multiple repair people over to the house (both from the store that sold it to us and a subcontractor from Toshiba) and still have a VERY expensive non working TV set.

Avoid Toshiba- avoid this TV!

Amazon does not protect its customers and allows inferior sellers in its marketplace********
Large items that require long distance trucking take forever to arrive. One seller, Tiger Direct, could really care less if you get your product. They will charge you extra for quick delivery and then tell you that large items take several weeks to arrive. Trucking companies such as ABF don't care when you get your product. They don't deliver on Saturday and don't answer emails.

Amazon talks a good talk, but they really don't stand behind you on your purchases. I would suggest going to a local retailer to purchase large items.

Good for the 5 minutes it lasted!
The TV looked in good store so purchased from Amazon, came in good condition but just after five minutes the whole screen got green pixels spread all over, consulted an official Toshiba technician and he said something wrong with color scan module so had to return it.
I think something is not right with the way Toshiba makes it televisions

Warranty Problems, terrible service
I purchased this TV in early April. After having the TV for 35 days the lamp went completely dead. I requested service from Toshiba who claims that the necessary items (lamp and light engine) are on back order and then can't tell me when they will arrive. I have been without a TV or suitable replacement for a month and a half. What can I say but don't buy this TV and don't buy products from Toshiba. This is the second projection TV that I purchased from Toshiba in two years and both have had problems. Furthermore Toshiba doesn't care how long you have to wait and won't promise repair times or turnaround times. BUYER BEWARE - Don't buy this TV just because it has a cheap price. It wont work well!!
