Summary: Nice TV but...
Comment: I purchased this TV on May 21. I felt like I got a smoking deal since I got free shipping and paid no sales tax but shipping took quite a bit longer than Amazon estimated due to the fact that once Eagle trucking received it, they made me wait an extra week for them to bring it to my house. Small problem considering the shipping was free. I was very impressed with the picture quality and features for the price. That is until the lamp unit failed last week after only two months of normal use. The TV suddenly began having problems turning on. The LED lights on the front indicated a lamp problem. I called Toshiba and they offered to mail me a replacement lamp unit without question (lamp warranty is one year and they are user replaceable). They said it would take five business days but I actually got it today after only three business days. I installed the lamp and the TV now works perfectly again. My only hope is that this does not repeat itself in another two months. Depending on who you believe, these lamps are supposed to last anywhere between 3,000 and 8,000 hours but a quick Internet search told me that Toshiba has had a continuing problem with their lamps failing prematurely. I recommend this TV if you can get a good deal on it but I wish I'd purchased the extended warranty.

Summary: Ultra Excellent!!!!
Comment: This is by far, the best 1080P TV purchase I could have made. I am a Toshiba fan from way back and I must say this 65 inch rear projection Talen HDTV is the best!!! I had an issue with the sun bleaching out my old 55 inch Toshiba Theater Veiw Tv but, with this new HDTV black screen I don't have the wash out issue. This TV has it all! You can't ask for a better center peice for your home at a fantastic price. I won't bother you with any tech jargon, just know that Toshiba has all the bases covered!! I purchased a Toshiba HDTV 1080P DVD player and a wonderful Onkyo Stereo that has the 1080P up-conversion with all the HDMI connections you could ask for and now I have a rockin THEATER in my living room because the Talen 65" 1080P. Oh! It has the best clear picture an it makes you feel like you are right there. I am a happy camper indeed!!!
I would also like to say that the company I purchased the TV from was the best an Amazon and that company deserve the best rating possible!!!

Summary: Great Buy! But remember...
Comment: A great buy from Amazon! Even after shipping costs I saved nearly $300 over B*st B*y and Circ*it C*ty. I can't believe this unit shipped so fast and in perfect condition to Florida. Ordered late on 25 April and received the unit on 30 April from Fed Ex (estimated delivery date was 29 April - 4 May.) Fed Ex delivery person helped me bring it into my house, which is unusual for curbside shipping. He also told me he could have delivered the TV on 27 April but that was before the shipping date so he held onto it. No sweat though, it was still ahead of schedule.
I'm pleasantly surprised with the TV. One word of advice - don't buy HDMI hi-def cables from a retail vendor or you'll pay 5-6 times more than you need to, like $50 for a 6 ft cable which is ridiculous. It's a digital cable, so the signal is there or it isn't. There's no advantage to buying M*nster C*bles or another overpriced brand. I picked up 12 ft cables from a reputable online vendor for $10 each.
Remember this unit doesn't ship with a TV stand. I have it resting on two end tables until I make my own stand for it.
