Hmmm. I've had excellent results with Toshiba, in fact, it's the top electronics maker (or was when I was buying it.) I have both a notebook and a tv that are with this company. I've had no problems with my tv, even though the extended warranty ran out over a year ago.

I did have trouble with the notebook and the only glitch was that the service contract was through Office Depot,not Toshiba, but once they got it back anyway, they tweeked even what the Toshiba company was supposed to do only under their warranty. It was frustrating at first, because I wasn't aware that companys/stores sell these brands and split the warranty repairs. I was asking the wrong person to fix the "wrong" thing under their warranty. Once I got my facts straight, it was more than fixed.

Good wishes!
