I bought this TV in December '05 and had a very good image quality. He suffers, like most TVs in this proposal, the scenes fuzzies in a fire, rain, lightning, etc. In addition, image quality excellent. The interviews are fine if you've never heard it before the receiver, but I'm pretty sure my factory radio sounds better.

My only two real complaints about this TV is the size of car modifications and bad (or at least hidden) ads 1080p.First, prepare yourself for the pleasure of driving, if you have more resources (or non-HD vs. HD programming) to have the distinction of different sources. Switching between the channels of HD / HD TV is not an area of the causes of the moment to act to restore the correct format. I also enjoyed (or not) saw him move from full-size screen (4:3), after I tried to say that to remain in widescreen.
*****
Secondly, as another reviewer said, this TV only accepts 1080i in input. I feel verycheated on this topic. The reason? Xbox 360 recently (11 / 1) current output with 1080p support. It means that working in TV? NO! There is a real difference in picture quality? Beats me, because I never know about this TV. To advertise the TV as 1080p, but then discover (on no less than Google – Toshiba site itself is nothing but marketing bull), that magic can only input 1080i for 1080p output is disgusts me.

Then wrap around excellent TV is my experienceOverall. I found the Toshiba web site, which is a known problem with the bulbs, and will extend the warranty on the lamp for another year, if your s / n, in this area.

Get the sharpest and clearest images possible from HD and standard TV and your favorite DVD movies with the 72-inch Toshiba 72HM195 DLP rear-projection television, which offers both 1080p and 720p progressive resolution. As 720p is rated as high-definition, Toshiba has dubbed this TheaterWide TV XHD–2X Resolution, as its 1080p rating has twice the pixel count of 720. This set is loaded with the latest in video and audio processing technology as well as loaded with a wide variety of connectivity options, including Firewire and a multi-format memory card slot.

DLP (which stands for Digital Light Processing) uses an optical semiconductor to recreate source material with a fidelity analog systems can’t match. While other technologies lose a certain amount of light in transit, the microscopic mirrors in a DLP projection system bring more light from lamp to screen. It also features better color uniformity over time–no burn-in, screen aging or color-shifting possible. It’s the leading display technology for products like small portable conference room projectors and professional venue entertainment systems.

The technology at the center of the 62HM95 is the new Toshiba Digital Light Engine named Talen X, which utilizes Texas Instruments’ xHD4 chip, advanced optics, and Toshiba’s DEEP Picture and Xtreme BLAC technologies to provide high resolution with improved brightness and contrast. It also includes the new PixelPure AT Digital Video Processing, utilizing new Adaptive Technology to create further improved picture quality, the new Radiance 150 Hi-Bright Lamp for noticeably brighter images and a TheaterFine DFP Screen with anti-glare coating that results in increased detail and noticeably deeper blacks.

A 3D Y/C comb filter (4 MB, 10-bit with Vertical Contour Correction) further enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character’s striped T-shirt). The CableClear feature utilizes the Digital 3D/YC Comb Filter to compare frames and determine the existence and extent of video noise. It then applies the needed amount of digital video noise reduction, and the appropriate sharpness adjustment to keep the picture clear. This feature now works on RF, composite and S-Video inputs, and can be selected by input.

The HD Dynamic Contrast feature increases contrast and color saturation to create deep, rich images. The intelligent circuitry analyzes both the dark and bright areas of the picture, and separately optimizes the dynamic range in each area of the picture. Toshiba’s PixelPure AT (Adaptive Technology) includes Motion Adaptive De-Interlacing, Adaptive MPEG Processing, Adaptive Contrast Enhancement, and Adaptive Color Enhancement–all critical elements to deliver a consistently high quality picture.

With the integrated ATSC tuner, you’ll be able to receive off-air high definition broadcasts without the need for an external set-top box. It also features a digital cable tuner (QAM), which allows for the reception of digital cable signals that are not scrambled. It also incorporates a CableCard slot for optional card, which can pick up HD (ATSC) broadcasts from your digital cable provider (digital cable subscription required). The integrated TV Guide on-screen guide provides an easy to read listing of the television programs available to view or record. It includes an 8-day program listing, the ability to perform keyword searches for locating favorite programs, and the G-Link IR Blaster for controlling cable boxes.

The speakers provide a total of 20 watts of power (20 watts per channel). The SRS WOW virtual surround sound system provides amazing, enveloping sound through just the two built-in speakers. It also provides MTS stereo/SAP with dbx. The StableSound feature eliminates the annoyance of normal program volume being followed immediately by extremely loud commercial messages or drastic volume fluctuations while changing channels.

It offers the following connection options:

• Composite AV (RCA): 3 in (1 side), 1 out
• S-Video: 3 in (1 side)
• Component video: 2 in (480i/480p/720p)
• HDMI: 1 in
• RF: 2 in
• Firewire (IEEE1394): 2 in
• Analog audio (RCA, L/R): 1 out

The OmniViewer memory card slot accepts five different types of memory cards, including SD (Secure Digital), MM (Multi-Media), MS (Memory Stick), CF (Compact Flash), and SM (Smart Media). In addition, it includes a JPEG Viewer program that allows the TV to display pictures from most digital cameras, which can be rotated and viewed in an automatic presentation format. The TheaterNet Control System simplifies the control of external components through both an IR jack and Firewire (IEEE1394) port, the latter of which can be used to transmit digital video and audio and allow for recording of HDTV.

Convenience features include color temperature control, closed captioning on mute, sleep timer, tri-lingual on-screen display, V-Chip parental controls, video input labelling, channel labeling, and Toshiba’s GameTimer feature, which allows parents to set the television to shut off after a specified period of time and stay off until a lockout key code is entered.

DLP Lamp Problems – Ranbir Singh – Washington, DC USA
bad product. My lamp DLP died

TV NOT WORTH CONTINUED INVESTMENT – Gypsy Avalon –
We are very disappointed in this TV we have a year and a half and have twice had to replace the lamp. Once it was under warranty, but now we have the money to pay out of pocket, and the lamps are not cheap. We found the "solution" to the lamp, and "only pay $ 180 for it. Toshiba says that the lamp should last 8,000 hours, on average, in both cases were considered to 1200-1500 hours. Toshiba wrote the letter without response.

Horrible Quality, Not 1080p, Do Not Buy!!! – J. Ray –
I'm an addict, electronics, and is the latest and greatest is not a 1080p TV, as they say, is to inform about it! Toshiba is to convince stupid people like me to believe them. This idea is too get a 1080p for about 2000 less than big names. I had to listen to my instincts. 1080p DLP HDTV is the name of "engine" used in the production of images, but has nothing in common with the quality of real images. Just take a DISPLAY 10.801 !!!!!!The quality is terrible. A 480 or 720 resolution (PAI) can not even see the faces, a basketball player. 1080i is OK, but you need 20 + (owner of the state of excitation is 10-25), back even to get a decent photo. . We pioneered HDTV for 3 years to replace, without HDMI, 1080i is the best I can do, and is much better than this. I repeat: is NOT '1080p! HD-DVD and Blu-Ray is already here, if you purchase this TV Lives of OthersYears. I wish I had found these reviews, I had already saved about 3000!

Video Features
In addition to being HDTV-ready–fully able to appreciate incoming digital signals–this set includes IDSC (Intelligent Digital Scan Conversion), which produces a high-end progressive scan picture with artificial intelligence that helps avoid artifacts and jagged lines caused by motion. IDSC also includes Advanced Video Noise Reduction, which virtually eliminates picture “snow.” The set is built with Toshiba’s Powerfocus Optic System, a high-quality, four-element lens system designed to maximize both sharpness and brightness, as well as TouchFocus, for easy returns to sharp, accurate focus from corner to corner of the screen. Adding to your home theater experience, this set’s Cinema Mode more accurately reproduces in DVDs the film’s original 24-frame material (television signals reproduce images at a faster but often incompatible frame rate), eliminating the possibility of other errors or artifacts caused by simply doubling the signal, as with conventional televisions. The TV also features two sets of ColorStream HD component video inputs.

Audio Features
This set features SRS (Sound Retrieval System) Surround Sound. Touted by Toshiba as the leading 3D Sound technology worldwide, it essentially retrieves and restores to its original depth the sound data from any stereo recording, resulting in sound that is much closer to that of a live performance. The 43H71 also sports MTS Stereo with SAP (second language decoding) and SBS (Sub Bass System), which provides a noticeable boost to the unit’s low frequency. Connections include two rear A/V inputs, two rear S-video inputs, two RF inputs, front panel A/V/S inputs, one center channel audio input, one A/V output, and one variable audio output.

Other Features
This set includes dual tuner picture-in-picture, so you can watch one program while monitoring another, a backlit universal remote, and two-level mute.

Huge screen. Brilliant, lifelike image. Explosive sound. Yes, it’s Sony’s 60-inch KDF-60XS955 rear-projection LCD television, which is equipped to deliver standard and full-fledged HDTV reception right out of the box with its integrated NTSC and ATSC (HDTV) tuners. It also offers digital cable readiness with a CableCARD slot and the latest digital-video interface, HDMI. Weighing a mere 113 pounds and standing under 21 inches deep, the set also offers maximum image with minimal space investment.

The set’s 1,366 x 788 liquid-crystal display frees you from having to make convergence adjustments or having to worry about image burn-in. Instead you get incredible detail (more than 3 million pixels), high contrast, and even, corner-to-corner brightness from the set’s user-replaceable 132-watt UHP (ultra high pressure) lamp.

The screen features a wide, 16:9 aspect ratio to match the dimension of most movies and HDTV broadcasts, and the KDF-60XS955 offers compatibility with standard-definition 480i, enhanced-definition 480p, and high-definition 720p and 1080i signals.

Sony’s CineMotion 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal is a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. Digital video mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

The set’s WEGA Engine system maximizes picture performance from any video source by minimizing the number of digital-to-analog conversion processes. This full digital processing engine includes Sony’s MID-X (Multi Image Driver), which maintains the integrity of a converted signal by minimizing image loss in the scaling process; and a proprietary optical engine, which employs a trio of Sony’s wide-XGA, high-resolution LCD panels, 1 for each of the RGB signals (resulting in a total of 3.28 million dots of resolution).

The optical engine also features a special 11-element lens system responsible for the lightweight, ultra-slim cabinet. The lens system bends the light path, creating an ultra-short focal point while maintaining high brightness. This proprietary system delivers vivid images from the center of the screen all the way to the edges.

This XS Series Grand WEGA television offers advanced menu functions that are typically found only in service menus: gamma correction (bright and dark balancing), black correction (enhances contrast), white balance (fine-tunes white intensity), detail enhancement (sharpens the picture), and clear white (emphasizes whites).

The set includes numerous other features.

• TwinView PIP (picture-in-picture) lets you view any 2 sources simultaneously, even at different image resolutions, while the built-in Memory Stick media slot offers ready display of both JPEG images and MPEG-1 video.
• A Memory Stick media slot (compatible with Memory Stick Pro and Memory Stick Duo media) grants convenient viewing of JPEG and MPEG-1 files. It can also display customized slide shows using MP3 files for background music.
• Authorized CableCARD ability means the set will receive digital cable television systems services directly from the cable operator without requiring a bulky, external cable box.
• Live Color is an innovative circuit that emphasizes blues and greens without affecting reds for a more natural, vivid picture. Choose from 3 enhancement levels (high, medium, low) or “off.”
• Sony’s exclusive S-Master 1-bit digital amplifier produces 5 watts per channel (x 2), pumping an additional 20 watts into a built-in subwoofer for rich, full-bodied sound from movies and music.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link the set with any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver).

CAVEAT EMPTOR : Know what you’re getting yourself into. – Michael Thomas – San Pedro, CA US
We begin by the quality of sound and picture quality than the average for the TV are at the moment. But it would be for someone who will sell you a TV irresponsible known problems associated with this model. In particular, the optical block is too long. This is the main image to create a device for this model. To replace and / or updated model will cost more than a thousand dollars. Moreover, the lamps lasted only a few years, whenFortuna, and run around 150-250 a piece, depending on whether you are buying factor, or after-market parts, and if the service in question.

Search Google for "optical block" and "or Sony Grand WEGA KDF-55wf655" time to yourself before you buy. It 'a shame, because if this fails, a picture is really beautiful.

Not bad, not great – Kevin M. Moser –
Great TV, with the exception of areas of high light. Works better in the dark. Although it is not good with fast motion, like sports HD. There are a lot of pixelation. But while HD in low light areas, it's great. I took the lamp, but now after only 3.5 years. I think it's normal time with normal use. But drop $ 200 on a new lamp is annoying. I can not wait until the light goes off again. Then I have to justify the switch to plasma or LCD.

I would recommend this TVfriend, when the price is reasonable.

I have had this TV for about 15 months. Until about a week ago was the overall size of the TV. But now I'm beside myself, I am so angry, and probably get nothing from Sony! It has become almost impossible to watch TV, because the image and the sound loses about 30 seconds and then come back. Standby LED flashes approx. 38-42 times, when it happens. Sony "customer service" was not there, and it is likely that the correction is the exhorbitant cost a lot of money. It isTV Sony seconds I the shit that I was so excited.

Specifications

Toshiba takes digital light processing (DLP) technology into the future with the 52-inch TheaterWide 52HM84 HD-ready rear-projection TV. The 16:9 52HM84 uses a proprietary system called TALEN (Toshiba Advanced Light Engine); based on the Texas Instruments HD2+ DLP chip, it enhances brightness and contrast while keeping the 1,280 x 720 progressive resolution (720p). Toshiba’s TheaterWide TVs challenge direct-view CRT models when it comes to reproducing deep blacks and details in dark or shadowy 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 micromirror device (below, pictured with 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.

This set is HDTV ready (it needs an optional high-definition receiver to get HD signals), but can improve standard-definition video, thanks to Toshiba’s multistep PixelPure video processing system, which optimizes the three main picture quality factors: resolution, contrast, and color. All incoming signals are converted by the built-in scaler to match the DLP chip’s native 720p resolution.

PixelPure encompasses eight different processing circuits. Among its components are 6.2- million-pixel oversampling (for higher perceived resolution), real-speed progressive scanning (which uses additional sampling points to create smoother diagonal lines), a Magic Square algorithm (for smooth, natural color gradation), Dynamic Contrast Enhancer (for higher perceived contrast and increased color saturation), and Color Detail Enhancer (to maintain fine image detail in color-saturated areas).

DLP technology uses an optical semiconductor, known as the Digital Micromirror Device, or DMD chip, to digitally manipulate light. The chip contains a rectangular array of up to 1.3 million microscopic mirrors, each measuring less than one-fifth the width of a human hair. A DMD panel’s micromirrors are mounted on tiny hinges that enable them to tilt either toward the light source (on) or away from it (off), creating a light or dark pixel on the projection surface. The bit-streamed image code entering the semiconductor directs each mirror to switch on and off up to several thousand times per second, enabling the mirrors to reflect pixels in up to 1,024 shades of gray.

The HD2+ DLP chip ensures an ultraclean image by filling in the dimples, or vias, in the mirrors to avoid stray light. It increases both brightness and contrast, resulting in an impressive color-corrected contrast ratio (2,200:1) at 1,100 ANSI lumens. The set’s TheaterFine HD Super Fine Pitch screen reduces the physical space between the lines on the lenticular screen, resulting in a finer, sharper, more detailed picture.

Toshiba’s DFine Hi-Speed VSM (velocity scan modulation) improves contrast and overall picture sharpness, while the CableClear DNR+ digital noise reduction optimizes poor NTSC signals from antenna or cable, further eliminating video noise (“snow”) for a clean, crisp image. Cinema Mode circuitry (3:2 pulldown switch) identifies original film-based content from DVDs, then reassembles the frame sequence to more accurately reproduce the original 24-frame-per-second material.

A 3-D Y/C (4 MB, 10-bit) digital comb filter with Vertical Contour Correction helps eliminate dot crawl and color bleed and significantly reduces detail noise, seen as shimmering or flicker, in complex or intricately detailed scenes. Color temperature controls allow you to adjust white balance. The Warm setting reduces 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 setting provide a progressively bluer image for the best picture as room light levels are increased.

The 52HM84 has plenty of inputs for connecting all your audio and video components. In back you’ll find two RF, two composite video, two S-Video, and two HD ColorStream component video, as well as a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) digital input. HDMI is an uncompressed, all-digital audio-video interface that supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus eight-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 sound 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 to create smoother diagonal lines, the Color Transient Improver for sharp transitions on color changes without bleeding, and the Color Detail Enhancer to maintain fine image detail in color-saturated areas.

Aside from the 20-watts-per-channel stereo speaker system, the 52HM84 uses MTS for programming with stereo sound, and SAP for receiving a second audio track in another language. Meanwhile, SRS WOW combines 3-D 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 drastic volume spikes while changing channels or when channels go to a commercial break.

Customer Reviews
unreliable 52HM84 – Lee Peterson – Tennessee
I had 52 "for 4 years and 3-lamp @ $ 250/ea, not to mention the $ 368 has been replaced by a load. Our dealer conveniently left the problem of DLP. We should be chosen for the LCD and are not I want to buy another Toshiba unreliable.

Avoid Toshiba DLP – Katherine E. Metz –
This is laborious and expensive option for every family, and should be avoided. You must schedule a new lamp, which costs about $ 218.00 will be purchased each year. This does not apply to charges for service calls. Television that will not be at any time and require a new lamp is a terrible thing. Toshiba call service is a nightmare.

steer clear of hdlp Toshiba tv’s!!! – AmeliaAirHeart – Fond du lac, WI
Whatever happens, control – without HDLP Toshiba TV! We have four years and our 4 lamp replacement. I think that when you search on the internet before buying, because we are not alone! There are serious problems with HDLP lamp from Toshiba. Nothing is more frustrating than your favorite program or a match and burn the lanterns, no TV until you get a replacement?

Great Picture but too many issues….. – 1st time Mommy –
TV is too expensive for any questions .. Ive replaced the bulb in the last 4 months, the speakers just stopped working and now the damn habit again! I'm not going to buy another light! These producers need Come on, that their products, if I pay these prices for TV!
I would buy again ..
