Many people are having the same issue: the dam lamp. It burn way WAY before the 8000 hours (avg) that Toshiba claims. Be ready to spend 300$ a year on the lamp. Toshiba is not admitting that there is a defect even though many MANY people have been complaining. Don't listen to people who bought the TV and write a review the next day with a 4 or 5 stars. The speakers on mine died within 2 weeks and the TV had to be replaced. The lamp died as well. Good picture quality and sound...when it works. Extended warranty from Best Buy does not cover it either. Actually, not much is cover on the extended warranty from Best Buy (read the fine prints). I would NOT recommend this TV. Personally I will NEVER buy ANYTHING from Toshiba again.
