Ha. It took me a bit to remember what my user name was! There actually is an update to the story. I just signed a contract to buy my own apartment! I have lived in the same place for 4 years now, and I have the opportunity to have payments LESS than my current rent. The new place will be closer...

Wow, suddenly a new surge of people responding to this very old thread. Well all has been good. I enjoy the TV. In fact it seems too small now ;-). I remember when 57 inches seemed so big. To the person who mentioned the 80" TV's. Any size bigger than 57" and the manufacturer usually makes it...

Free money I won't accept, but now an ISF calibration, that would be cool as heck :-D. Bring it on! ;-)

You guys are too nice. It's ok though, I'm not that girl on TV who wracked up $10,000 in Gucci clothing credit card debt and then started a website to pay it off. I really appreciate the offer though. I just liked using this thread to vent because I was so frustrated with the whole ordeal, and I...

They said it couldn't be done, they said I wasn't tough enough, strong enough, mentally ready....but oh yes the TV has ENTERED the building! Yeah baby it's in like tin. Over the garage and through the window to grandma ma's house we go. $320 including a $20 tip. I am so happy I don't know what...

Ok, someone needs to help me not take a hatchet to these freaking movers. They were supposed to be here at 3pm, it is now 8:30pm. I have called the front office each hour since 3, and they said they're still running late, but don't have an estimated time of arrival. I told them to call the...

I don't want to move, my apartment kicks butt (but I did honestly consider the possability). Yes, I did test if it worked last weekend, infact I camped out in the hall for two hours watching DVD movies using extention cords running from the basement. I took a day break on figuring out what to...

It will fit through the window, just have to take out the window panes (the part that comes out easy). Old house, so huge windows. I'm trying to figure out if I can do it with some friends. If I can build a ramp from the garage roof to the second floor (6ft tall) then I'd be set. I don't know...

Don't know what kind of banister it is, but it's an old house, and the banister looks built into the staircase somehow, not like the ones I'm used to. I'll probably be moving in 2 years at the latest, so it will definately be moved sooner than later. I hate giving up, so I want to get this TV...

Well, project is on indefinate hold. TV is in the basement. I don't know what to do. One service guy said I can take it apart some, another said it would ruin the TV and would cost like $400 for a repairman to do it. I don't know what to do at all. Risk voiding the warranty...or pay out the butt...

Rained all day and all night, so I couldn't hoist it. Now I'm back to IL for a week to work. I have a new idea, I am going to call a repairman and see if he can dismantle it some. Either it could be taken apart enough to fit up the stairs, or maybe enough heavy parts can be taken out of the tv...

The drama continues. The moving guys are supposed to be here in 30 minutes, but now it's POURING rain out, and the weather report says it's supposed to rain till tomorrow afternoon, at which point I'm on a plane for work which is in a different state (not back again till thursday late). Am I...

The thing is glued, it can't be diassembled. This one russian moving company says they can get it through the bedroom window from atop the garage. They want $200 cash. That's the best deal yet, so hopefully all is well. And if it doesn't work, Toshiba better darn right send a repair technician...

Landlord lives in the building, 1st floor, and I used to date his daughter. Ok, put me on ricky lake now. Lucky I came out on top and she was in the wrong, so landlord loves me, and is wicked nice to me, but I don't want to test our friendship. Covert dismantle will not work, I would have to ask...

I don't want to ask him, I got a mover to agree to $300 to hoist it up! It totally blows the deal I got on the TV, but it's better than selling it or than the $650 the piano movers were trying to charge. Another question, while trying to get it up the stairs we had to come back down when we...
