THE Official Toshiba Regza SVXX670U Owners - Page 88

I agree and disagree with you

First off..I agree Samsung makes beautiful TV's that are on the cutting edge in regard to feature set, picture quality and design

as for not being reliable?...where are you getting that information?

the latest I have seen in 4-5 % failure rate
Seriously...even at a 7-8% failure rate..if it were true...would not make me a buy a TV with a lesser quality picture but had a 2% failure rate

I have bought 6 Samsung's in the last 7 years..only the first one had any issues

Anymore..I would suggest buying an extended warranty...especially if you are buying a higher end model with a high feature set

The way prices are coming down and the way they market these
They are like computers...the companies don't keep the large parts inventories and it could be cheaper to buy a new TV than have one fixed many times

It's been months since I've been here. Just wanted to drop a few words saying how happy I am with my 55inch set after 1.5 years. My GF and I have watched lots and lots of HBO and bluray films on this TV in a near dark theater lighting and the TV is still sold, inky back and darn uniform across the screen.

I'm looking into getting something bigger. I wish Toshiba made this in 65 inches, I would've been on it in a heart beat.
I'm thinking of selling this and go to the new sony XBR65HX929.

Good job Toshiba ...

They replaced the main board, no more issues at all. All the pros remain none of the cons are there now.

I haven't done a statistical analysis. Is that data from Consumer Reports? My point was that Samsung isn't any more reliable than Toshiba, and neither brand is as reliable as Panasonic. Samsungs have plenty of problems. I'm not just talking about total failures. Clouding, backlight bleeding, etc., is very common. I'm not anti-Samsung, it's just the truth. I had to go through 2 Samsungs before getting one that I was satisfied with, and even that had an issue with screen tearing which Samsung eventually resolved with a firmware fix. I really wanted to buy a LN55A950, but by the time price dropped within my reach, they were sold out. Due to the problems I went through with my first Samsungs, I didn't feel comfortable ordering online, in case it needed to be exchanged.

I have this set and an insignia blu-ray player. To get proper 24 pulldown should I set the tv film stabilization to "standard" and 1080/24 to "on" in the player menu?

Edit* I think my real question is, did they ever fix the video drop while watching blu-ray content?

I never see any drops???
I have a PS3 for a blue-ray player.

I've had no drops either and am still in awe with this set. Best purchase I've made in a long time.

In my experience its the static gamma introduces the artifacts, particularly when increasing color brightness.

I have moved to XBR-65HX950,
My mom is the new owner of the Toshiba set now. This lovely TV was the best TV I have owned yet.
