Toshiba 57H83 57 in. HDTV CRT TV

This Toshiba TV was rated the #1 buy by Consumer Reports. This is what motivated us to purchase this TV even though we had read alot of negative feedback from buyers who experienced breakdowns soon after purchase and long waits for part replacement. We shrugged off those reviews by rationalizing that out of the thousands of people who buy this TV, probably only the ones with a bad Toshiba experience take the time to write one. One week after buying the Toshiba however I turned on the TV and when the screen just showed solid green I had the sinking feeling I should have listened to the nay sayers a little more closely. It is two months later and all I get is "the part should be shipping Monday and then it will be 3-5 business days after that" followed by "I'm sorry sir, the part should be shipping Wednesday", and finally, "It's not going out this week but we show it should be shipping on Monday".
Toshiba customer service was unable to provide any help at all and they generally don't see a problem with someone spending $2000 for a T.V., using it a week, and then having them wait weeks and weeks to get it fixed. Again, it is a great T.V. if your are willing to risk having it break and waiting months for a replacement part. I would strongly advise anyone thinking of buying a Toshiba projection TV to think twice and read some of the things other people have written. It just isn't worth the frustration
