Ta Ta, Toshiba

Looks like Toshiba is following Pioneer and Hitachi out of the TV market. Article here.

Well that's a shame! I have a Hitachi Plasma and a Toshiba LCD. I guess I am the kiss of death for TV manufacturers! But I only buy good highly rated product too.

I bought a Toshiba for my in-laws. Good unit. I guess maybe the market will support a few cheap brands, but maybe only one or two quality brands.

I have 3 Toshiba TV's. I have a 32" LCD, 30" CRT HDTV, and a 62" DLP. I haven't had any problems with them so that would be terrible to lose a good company like that.

It isn't a product issue. They have always had good products at better than competitive prices. It is a marketing failure. I looked hard when I bought my last plasma for the just introduced Regza with the LED backlight. Not at BB. Not at Sears. Not at Wally World. They simply aren't making the deals with the mass merchandisers to get their products out there. Even when they are carried, it is only 1 or 2 models, pushed into the back corner, and where the salesdroid will try his damnest to steer you away from them.

Ain't it the truth. I had to look wide to find that Toshiba TV. Think I got it at a warehouse store.
