REVscene Automotive Forum - View Single Post - How come Toshiba TVs r quite a bit cheaper than other brands with comparable specs

I have a Toshiba 42LX177 LCD. Pretty decent TV (bought it a few years back). Still kicking along quite nicely.

However, I do have a big gripe with the Toshiba 52" DLP rear projection that I have...it's gone through 4 bulbs already in the 5 years I've owned it. Each bulb costs about $150-200USD. People have complained on a lot of the forums about this but apparently Toshiba refuses to recognize it as a defect. I'm just waiting for this last bulb to die and this TV will be headed for the scrap heap.
