Toshiba televisions; garbage

This is a warning. Do not purchase a Toshiba television. It is crap!

I purchased a 25 inch Toshiba LCD at Costco about 1.2 years ago. At 93 days it stopped working. I called Costco but (conveniently) their Consierge warranty service ended at 90 days. They referred me to Toshiba. After doing some suggested tests I discovered that, yes, it did not work. No surprise there.

At my cost, about $35, I had to rebox the TV and ship it to Toshiba. 2-3 weeks later I received it back in working order. Today, about 1 year later, I turned it on, and, No picture. I tested it on a DVD; again, no picture.

Summary: Toshiba TVs are crap. Stay away from them, that is, unless you simply love paying all those lovely shipping charges to get yours fixed.
