Hello Bil, We see more Toshiba TV's in for warr. repairs, then ALL other brands combined. I think there might a good profit margin, thats why everyone sells them. I have not seen one yet, that I would want in my house. (10yrs ago they where fine) And I think "Consumer Reports" gave them a good rating, (Best picture quality) so all the dealers swear by them. I have not seen one yet without some kind of convergance/color/purity problem. .....Just my 2 cents. Thanx, Scott Beebe Ohm Electronics Inc. 609 W.
