I don't have experience with that Toshiba line, but I have a 72MX195 which is a 72" Cinema Series, DLP model. I've had it for a year now and love the picture. It is one of the best pictures I have seen (note: I have never seen a professionally calibrated set, and I calibrated mine with DVE). I have never experienced the silk screen effect mentioned earlier.
I did have an early bulb failure. Mine went out at 50 hours, but Toshiba sent a repairman over immediately to fix it for free as part of the one year warrantee. A little research also showed me that Toshiba had some bulb issues with their supplier and extended the warrantee on bulbs to two years.
I bought the extended warrantee. To me, it just seems that all types (LCD, DLP, Plasma, etc.) of these HD TVs can have problems so I spent the extra bucks.
