Cbecker,
I really like the Toshiba so far. I have had no problems with anything and the picture is great and set-up was relatively easy. I am having a couple of lingering set-up issues relating to my VCR that I haven't really tried to resolve yet becasue I'm replacing that VCR. But that's my lack of know-how and not due to the Toshiba.
I do have a couple of suggestions/observations. First, becasue the TV has speakers at the side of the screen, it is wider than similar DLPs that do not. I actually like the "shape" better (more rectangular than square), but it has contributed to a problem. My wife has decided I need to hide this beast in an A/V armoire. Well, a couple of manufacturers are now making these big enough to house most 50" DLPs. But the extra width of the Toshiba (it is about 58.5" wide) makes it too wide to fit in any A/V armoire that I have been able to find. So, we have to get one built to the tune of about $3,200. OUCH! I keep telling myself, "it's a great piece of furniture that we can keep forever"!
Second observation - if you have an entire Home Theatre set-up, get a good all-in-one remote. I got the Logitech Harmony H659. It is sweeet! Everything now operates off of one remote, and did so from the very first download. It even configured my Comcast DVR/cable box, which is a brand new unit manufactured by Motorola. The programming capabilities of the Harmony are great, and I'm sure there's a lot more it can do that I'll figure out over time.
Anyway, I would give the Toshiba a "strong buy". By the way, I took a bit of a risk and bought it off of Amazon.com. But I only paid $2,200-something, including shipping. I saved about $1,000 off of the Circuit City price (including tax). And, so far, no regrets....
Good luck!
