If the 'inaccuracies' bother you so much, go find a news site to read. ]]>Mar 2nd 2009 8:00AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/01/toshiba-forced-to-pay-up-in-class-action-dlp-lawsuit/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/01/toshiba-forced-to-pay-up-in-class-action-dlp-lawsuit/
Maybe I should start SquiggleHD. I'll start with a story claiming all the movie studios are dropping Blu-ray. Then the next story will be on Apple's forthcoming 42" HD iPhone. Then I'll post a story claiming everyone's going to stop making plasma TVs.

Oh wait.

Anyway, that's OK and people should make comments in the related forums as if what I'd written was true, and never post corrections, because it's a blog right?

Well this is Engadget, and if you read it enough you learn to filter out the stories by specific contributors on certain subjects... This is a case in point, Darren Murph rarely if ever has anything nice to say about Toshiba, if a story comes up about Toshiba having troubles and its posted about here on EngadgetHD it'll be posted by Mr. Murph 9 out of 10 times, and the story should be taken on a based around a truth's grain of salt, and if you're actually interested in the story go and look it up on a more reliable source, because 100% of the information won't be given on this site.]]>Mar 2nd 2009 11:50AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/01/toshiba-forced-to-pay-up-in-class-action-dlp-lawsuit/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/01/toshiba-forced-to-pay-up-in-class-action-dlp-lawsuit/Mar 2nd 2009 5:34AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/01/toshiba-forced-to-pay-up-in-class-action-dlp-lawsuit/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/01/toshiba-forced-to-pay-up-in-class-action-dlp-lawsuit/Mar 2nd 2009 6:15AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/01/toshiba-forced-to-pay-up-in-class-action-dlp-lawsuit/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/01/toshiba-forced-to-pay-up-in-class-action-dlp-lawsuit/Mar 2nd 2009 7:58AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/01/toshiba-forced-to-pay-up-in-class-action-dlp-lawsuit/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/01/toshiba-forced-to-pay-up-in-class-action-dlp-lawsuit/
All flat panels and all RPTV's (DLP, LCOS, LCD, etc), have bulbs of some sort (except LED backlight systems). All of these systems are susceptible to bulb failure and dimming over time. All of them could suffer from bulb failure, this is not something limited to either RPTV's or Toshiba, its just a Toshiba design flaw. The bulbs themselves in RPTVs are usually not that expensive and when you replace them, you are back to 100% performance WRT brightness, which is just not generally possible with other designs.

So each person gets like 4 dollars then. Seems like a waste of time and energy to me. ]]>Mar 2nd 2009 10:09AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/01/toshiba-forced-to-pay-up-in-class-action-dlp-lawsuit/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/01/toshiba-forced-to-pay-up-in-class-action-dlp-lawsuit/Mar 2nd 2009 10:19AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/01/toshiba-forced-to-pay-up-in-class-action-dlp-lawsuit/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/01/toshiba-forced-to-pay-up-in-class-action-dlp-lawsuit/

It's not like you can buy these bulbs at your local hardware/electrical outlet store....We are usually looking at 7-10 days for the shipping....We paid about $2500 for the TV and now have spent $750 for bulb replacement. Next time it goes out, we may just get a new TV....anybody else having this problem ???]]>Mar 2nd 2009 7:38PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/01/toshiba-forced-to-pay-up-in-class-action-dlp-lawsuit/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/01/toshiba-forced-to-pay-up-in-class-action-dlp-lawsuit/http://www.dvd-to-psp.com I ask because I have a bulb purchased around 8 months ago that has failed!"]]>May 23rd 2009 3:41AM
