Title: Worked for 18 months; no picture but sound
Product review: YET ANOTHER DEAD PANEL.Purchased for $650 on 12/27/07 and the screen died 18 months later. I took it to a repair shop who assessed a nice $50 diagnostic fee (not uncommon) to tell me that the panel is dead. The shop tells me that the panel is prohibitively expensive to replace and I may as well buy a new TV. Toshiba doesn't even sell them the part. Let me tell you, THIS IS THE LAST TOSHIBA I'll ever purchase.Toshiba "Customer Support" is useless and tells me there is nothing they can do as Toshiba does not publicize the length of time that the TV will last. Saying that I can either repair or scrap it. Absolutely worthless.Thanks a lot Toshiba, you know of all the failed panels. Until there's a class action against you I guess we'll have to wait it out.
