Product Description

The Toshiba 62HM94 provides 62' Integrated HD DLP Projection TV with HDMI shown with optional stand.

Toshiba takes television into the future with the feature- and technology-packed 62-inch TheaterWide 62HM94 DLP integrated HDTV. For starters, the widescreen 62 HM94 employs a proprietary system called TALEN (Toshiba Advanced Light Engine) t o maximize the brightness and contrast of its Texas Instruments HD2+ DLP chip, w hich has a native resolution of 1,280 x 720-pixel progressive resolution (720p). Thanks to this technology, Toshiba's TheaterWide TVs challenge direct-view CRT TVs when it comes to reproducing deep blacks and crisp details in dark or shadow y scenes.

What is DLP?

DLP, or Digital Light Processing, is a technology that bounces a colored light beam across an array of hundreds of thousands of hinge-mounted microscopic mirrors attached to a single chip, called a 'micro mirror device' (below, pictured with the head of a pin).

DLP mirrors dwarfed by the head of a pin

Each of the mirrors can be pointed toward or away from the light source thousands of times per second, providing not only minute color detail but also sharper resolution than even LCD displays.

Next on the list is the built-in HDTV tuner, which can receive both digital terr estrial and digital cable broadcasts (ATSC and QAM), so there's no need to buy e xtra components to get hi-def signals. Of course standard-definition video looks great, too, thanks to Toshiba's multistep PixelPure video processing system, wh ich optimizes the three main picture quality factors: resolution, contrast, and color. All incoming signals are upconverted by the built-in 'scaler' to match th e DLP chip's 720p resolution. The set's TheaterFine HD Super Fine Pitch screen r educes the physical space between the lines on the lenticular screen, resulting in a finer, sharper, more detailed picture.

In addition, a CableCARD slot gives you the option to connect to cable TV withou t a set-top box, giving you access to analog, digital cable, HDTV, and premium c able channels like HBO and Cinemax (if supported by your cable company). Two Fir eWire ports with industry standard DTVLink capability enable digital networking and recording. TV Guide On Screen, an interactive program guide, offers simple, user-friendly channel surfing. The TheaterNet IR/1394 control system enables eff ortless analog and digital external device control, and an OmniViewer Memory Car d Slot (compatible with Secure Digital, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, CompactFlash, and MultiMediaCard) with a JPEG viewer allows quick, easy viewing of digital pho tos.

The TV's excellent picture clarity is due to DFine Hi-Speed VSM (velocity scan m odulation), which improves contrast, while the CableClear DNR+ digital noise red uction optimizes poor NTSC signals from antenna or cable, minimizing video noise ('snow') for a clean, crisp image. Cinema Mode circuitry (3:2 pulldown) identif ies original film-based content from DVDs, then reassembles the frame sequence t o more accurately reproduce the original 24-frame-per-second material.

A 3D Y/C (4 MB, 10-bit) digital comb filter with Vertical Contour Correction hel ps eliminate dot crawl and color bleed and significantly reduces detail noise, s een as shimmering or flicker, in complex or intricately detailed scenes. Color t emperature controls allow you to adjust white balance. The 'Warm' setting reduce s the color temperature to an NTSC-standard 6,500 degrees Kelvin and delivers a redder image that is ideal for display in a dimly lit room. 'Medium' and 'Cool' provide a progressively bluer image for the best picture as light levels are inc reased.

The 62HM94 has plenty of inputs for connecting all your audio and video componen ts. In back you'll find two RF, two composite, two S-video, and two HD ColorStre am components, as well as an HDMI digital input. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedi a Interface) is an uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface that supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus 8-channel digital audio--all on a single cable. A set of front composite and S-video inputs make hooking up a game console or camcorder a snap.

Other features include HD Window dual-tuner POP (picture-on-picture) with PIP so und for listening to two programs simultaneously, the new Radiance DC lamp with high brightness and lower power modes for extended life, individual audio/video settings by input type, sleep and wake timers, Real Speed progressive scanning t o create smoother diagonal lines, Color Transient Improver for sharp transitions on color changes without bleeding, and Color Detail Enhancer to maintain fine i mage detail in color saturated areas.

Aside from the 20-watts-per-channel stereo speaker system, the 62HM94 uses MTS f or programming with stereo sound and SAP for receiving a second audio track in a nother language. Meanwhile, SRS WOW combines 3D Sound (simulated surround sound from any stereo audio) with TruBass (yet another low-frequency enhancement) and Focus (which clarifies voices). The StableSound volume leveler eliminates drasti c volume spikes while changing channels or when channels go to a commercial brea k.

- Toshiba 62HM94 review
When I first purchased this tv the built in tv guide would not work. I called Toshiba and they were very helpful. They sent me a sim upgrade that cleared up the problem. Also the bulb failed while under warranty and they sent me a new bulb to replace the old one. However I am concerned that the bulb would fail with just under a year of duty.

Overall the picture is very good, and in HDTV the picture is incredible. Watching movies is a sheer delight.

My only complaints at this time ... Read More

- Inspect screen carefully before accepting delivery.
Before signing and accepting delivery of any Toshiba DLP, be sure to check the screen to make sure that the coating on the inside of the screen is uniform. On mine, there was a circle about 10" in diameter that you can see in certain lighting and even when the TV is off! It will appear lighter than the surrounding areas at times and can be annoying. I called Toshiba and had a service man come out and even though he acknowledged that this is common, Toshiba will not replace the screen. I would have given them ... Read More

- Toshiba TV's are not reliable.
I purchased a Toshiba HDTV and had it fail just after the 2 year warranty expired. Toshiba explained there was nothing they would do back up their product. No TV should fail after 2 years. I recommend selecting another brand, you can get the same performance and price, and end up with a more reliable product.
