Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: I love this TV Comment: Sometimes, when it's off, I just sit there and admire the 52HMX95 like a work of art. When it's on, the HD quality, display features, component features, compatibility with my audio and other equipment and even built-in surround (when I choose to use that instead of full-on surround) are outstanding. My favorite thing though, and the reason I chose it, is that in my opinion it is the best 52" LCD TV I've seen for displaying non-HD signals. I don't know whether there are differences in DLP systems or how the underlying technologies differ, but I can tell you the result. This is an outstanding TV for reducing noise from poor signals. Of course it's still nowhere near HD, so please don't write that the non-HD channels suck. Of course they do. But for those who have compared how different big screen models adjust to lousy incoming video quality streams, I think you'll agree this is at or near the top of the list. I feel bad for people who apparently got bad bulbs. Luckily I didn't have that problem. I did have 2 other problems and Toshiba was very good both times. I bought it online and when it arrived it had been dropped in shipping (there was a big dark screen in the upper right hand corner which apparently is the sign of a broken mirror). Toshiba helped contact the dealer so I got a new one shipped. The second thing was that the new model I received had a number of dark pixels in the center of the screen. Other people didn't notice it, but when you obsess with TV features and then have to look at shadowy specks that make it look like every person on tv has a dirty face, it'll drive you crazy. The local video dealer who came to replace it claimed it wasn't under warranty (apparently a certain # of dark spots are allowed since defected pixels are relatively common). So I went back to Toshiba because the local guy wasn't all that professional and his opinion seemed driven by a combination of laziness and greed. Sure enough, they asked me some more questions and they got that company to come out and replace the screen (If I remember correctly the rule was if it has at least 3 dead pixels it gets replaced). I got this tv when it came out, so I've had it over 2 years and I still absolutely love this thing. Customer Rating: Summary: Definitely , worth a look Comment: After months of research, I stumbled upon the Toshiba 52hmx95 in a store.This set is strikingly beautiful. The exterior is like polished , black onyx. The picture quality was excellent. The colors were rich, blacks were deep and the whites were crisp and bright compared to the other DLP and LCD sets in the store.This is probably due to a new brighter lamp this set uses.This DLP HDTV is feature packed.Take your time getting familiar with the numerous features of this TV.For example, I can insert my Sony memory stick and view images from my camera. My main viewing has been DVD movies and I am very impress by the the sharpness of the pictures and the colors.I did not have to make any adjustments to the picture color settings.The universal remote was compatable with all of my Audio/Visual equipment. Although , I have been working with this set for less than a week ,overall this a great set! Customer Rating: Summary: Lousy Customer Service Comment: Purchased this tv and was not as impressed with picture at home as I was in store. Salesperson told me I needed Cable card for optimum picture. After cable card was installed could only get 1 channel. Toshiba said it was software problem and they would send me a software update 2 day fedex. 3days later no update. I have called 3 subsequent times and was told it would be overnighted each time, by supervisors no less. Have yet to receive software update so TV is not usable for cable, DVD only. It's been over a week and no resolution. I expected for 2500.00 plus I would get better customer service. Hope nothing else goes wrong with it! Customer Rating: Summary: not a happy camper Comment: Just bought this top of the line toshiba 52hmx95 , and no picture! Two weeks have gone by and toshiba has a back order for the lamp bulb .. Must have a real problem with this part ! Understatement !! So I can't really review product , cause I can't veiw the product..I don't know if any other problems exsist!!! I would stay away from this dlp , till they can make a $2799.00 tv that really works.. P.S., toshiba customer service has no other problem solving means to make it right . check other custumers reviews before you buy this product !! Customer Rating: Summary: Outstanding - You Just Have to See it Comment: Have had this set for a week... one word - Outstanding. Be sure to buy a new DVD player which supports HDMI for an amazing experience. I put mine into a corner of my living room (bought the stand... nice aesthetics) and it looks almost a nice as a plasma. I couldn't be more pleased. I spent WAY too much time deciding on which set to get (I'm VERY technically oriented.) Buy the "Cinema Series" not the cheaper Theater Wide sets, you will be able to tell a difference. With ANY (and I mean any) LCD/DLP/LCOS/HiLA projection set... buy the extended warranty (I NEVER EVER do normally) but KNOW THIS.... all these sets have projection bulbs which WILL need replacement periodically. These bulbs range in price from $250 to $400. The life of the bulb is not something you can guess, but its driven by how much you use your set. My extended warranty for 5 years cost me $500.00 (the cost of a bulb, installed.) Before you run over to a plasma set....they have issues too. More Reviews
