Amazon.com Product Description
Get the sharpest and clearest images possible from both HD and standard television programming and your favorite DVD movies with the technologically advanced 52-inch Toshiba 52HMX95 Cinema Series DLP projection TV with network connectivity to your PC. Vivid imagery and vibrant colors will pop off the screen, thanks to the integrated Texas Instruments' HD2+ chip, which enables a much higher contrast ratio along with a more consistent picture than other DLP chips due to filled-in mirror "vias" in the center of each pixel. This set has a built-in analog/digital/digital cable tuners (NTSC/ATSC/QAM) that will receive free over-the-air HDTV signals (ATSC) and HDTV signals from a cable connection (QAM). It's also Digital Cable Ready (via the CableCard slot), so you can enjoy digital cable without an additional box or remote using an optional CableCard. It also comes with TV Guide On Screen and Toshiba's innovative Channel Browser "back" button feature--similar to a PC browser back button--that allows easy access to recently viewed channels.

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.

The PixelPure AT digital video processor offers motion adaptive de-interlacing, adaptive MPEG processing, and adaptive contrast and color enhancement for a consistently high picture quality. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter (4 MB, 10-Bit) constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time, to reduce dramatically edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.

The 62HM95 also includes include THINC (Toshiba Home Interactive Network Connection) home entertainment networking, which allows you to connect the TV to your PC and play MP3 audio files and JPEG pictures using only the TV remote. 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. This set also includes a built-in OmniViewer memory card slot, which is compatible with a wide variety of popular formats--Secure Digital (SD), MultiMedia (MMC), Memory Stick, Compact Flash, and Smart Media--enabling you to view photo slideshows directly from your digital camera's memory card.

Perfect for viewing high-definition content and your favorite widescreen movies, this set offers a 16:9 aspect ratio and 1280 x 720-pixel resolution. Other features include both picture-in-picture (PIP) and picture-on-picture (POP) capabilities, tri-lingual on-screen menus (English, French, Spanish), channel labeling, channel return, channel browse, favorite channel, and V-Chip parental controls.

The 40-watt stereo audio system (two 20-watt speakers) delivers ample sound for sports and movies. It features the following video and audio connections:

Composite AV (RCA) In: 2

S-Video In: 2

Component Video In (Y PB PR): 2

Tech Talk
HDMI -- HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest output resolution with the source device. The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.

Good but broke down quickly.......2006-11-15

The television worked well when it worked. Unfortunately, only fourteen months after purchase, the television broke and now we're faced with no TV or a $500 repair bill. Toshiba only warranties this set for a year, and we are two months outside of that. The set is far too expensive to break down so quickly, and is very expensive to repair.

Purchase with caution!

Excellent set with vibrant colors.......2004-12-27

I have suffered through the decision to purchase HD set for several years. Now I have decided that the time has come and I could never catch up with the technology. After researching this field for a while I have decided to purchase the Cinema series 52HMX84.
I have also considered Mitsubishi's WD-52725 and Samsung's new HL-P5085W. After thorough comparison I have excluded the Mitsubishi just for their Mirror-like front screen. Even on 725 series, they failed to make it anti-glare. You could see yourself reflecting in that tv, not to mention lamps in your living room. It is a great-looking TV, and you could remove the screen, but I did not feel like spending that kind of money and then mess with screen removal. Samsung also looked great, I just thought that colors on Toshiba were deeper and richer. All the rave reviews on the internet helped too. I bought it from a local retailer that had no return policy - he is the only one carrying Cinema Series in the DC area. I was freaking out because of that, but after they delivered the set and I hooked everything up I was simply stunned. I have Denon DVD 2910 dvd player and Monster HTS 3500 power conditioner (that DOES make difference) and HDMI cable from Monster. Finding Nemo was so stunning, like you watch aquarium screen saver on your PC. Indeed, sometimes you do see rainbow effect - but only when very bright white is on black and you move your head - but my wife could not see that. I find this tolerable because it does not happen often. I chose Cinema Series because it had 2 HDMI inputs - if you do not have AV receiver that could switch those, you would need 2 - one for your DVD and one for satellite receiver. HDMI or DVI are unquestionably better than component inputs. TV has plenty of customization options and I do plan on having it calibrated. I highly recommend it.

Stunning HD.......2004-10-04

I've owned 3 HD sets. A week ago I purchased a new 50" LCD RPTV. A few days later I exchanged it for the Toshiba 52HMX84 that used DLP technology and I'm much happier. The problem was with the screen-door effect that is most obvious in the LCD RPTV technology. If you get a 42" set or smaller that utilizes this technology, I doubt it will be much of an issue. The Hitachi 42" LCD had a gorgeous picture! But if your in the market for a 50" or greater TV, you really should spend the extra 10 to 20% and get a set with either DLP with filled vias, LCOS or DILA (JVC's LCOS) technology. These technologies do not produce a bothersome screen-door effect.

My set is going in a great room that has large windows in it that bring a lot of light into the room. The Toshiba was the brightest set, by far, out of 8 that I looked at. The JVC was every bit as good as the Toshiba in so far as clarity, but it came down to a question of style and availabilty for my purchase. I liked the Toshiba styling the best and the picture was just superb using the latest HD2+ DLP Chip with Full 1280 x 720 Mirrors with Filled Vias. I love the 52 inch size and I recommend not getting the 62" if you're going to use this in an average sized living room. You really need to be sitting 15 to 20 feet away from a 62" not to see any video artifacts inherent in the design. So if you like a big picture for the theater effect, go with the 52" if your sitting 8 to 15 feet from the set. If your sitting closer than 8 feet, then consider the 42" size which will give you greater clarity. Whatever you get, don't freak out when you get it home and turn it on for the first time. The first thing you're apt to view is something in 320 standard definition. Analog or Digital, it doesn't matter; they're going to look crappy on 50" or larger sets. 320 lines of information is just not enough data for a large TV. DVD (480p) will look great, but the Toshiba 52HMX84 will look stunning when watching programs like CSI:Miami and Law & Order both of which are broadcast at true uncompressed 1080i over-the-air (Be aware that cable and satellite co may compress the HD signal). The Toshiba has two HDMI inputs for a future HD-DVD player along with your existing STB. In my case I use a Hughes HTL-HD Direct TV set top box with a DVI out. My STB is only 6 months old and already the industry has switched from DVI to HDMI connectors. When I found out they moved the target on me again, I had to go see my therapist! Anyhow..the internet retailer, svideo.com has DVI to HDMI cables for $20! So don't get stiffed buying a hyped Monster cable for $120 or one of those fake gold plated adapters for $50!

The Toshiba has great features and excellent remote, solid connectivity options, beautiful styling, plenty of aspect ratio otpions, extensive POP and PIP even for HD. It's probably going to take me a couple months to find all the bells and wistles. Best of all Toshiba is offering 18 month interest free financing right now at Video Only which is where I purchased my set. If you dont like buying over the internet, many retailers will come close if not match internet + shipping pricing these days.

Good Luck!
