Amazon.com Product Description
iNote: Toshiba 62HM84 62" HDTV-Ready Projection DLP TV is no longer being manufactured. You may want to consider purchasing the newer Toshiba 62HM94 62" DLP Integrated HDTV with Cable Card Slot instead./i p Toshiba takes digital light processing (DLP) technology into the future with the 62-inch TheaterWide 62HM84 HD-ready rear-projection TV. The 16:9 62HM84 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.P table align="right" width="310"trtd table align="right" cellspacing="5" bgcolor="#FFFFCC" cellpadding="5" width="300" trtd align="center"bWhat is DLP?/b/td/tr tr tdimg align="left" hspace="5" width="90" alt="The DLP processor" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/chip.jpg" 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). /td /tr trtdcenter img align="middle" width="250" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/pinhead.jpg" alt="DLP mirrors dwarfed by the head of a pin" /center/td/tr tr tdEach 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./td /tr trtdcenter img width="250" alt="Detail of resolution comparison between LCD and DLP" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/bear.jpg" /center/td/tr /table /td/tr/table This set is HDTV ready (it needs an optional high-definition receiver to get HD signals), but it 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.P 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).P 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.P 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.P 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.P 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 settings provide a progressively bluer image for the best picture as room light levels are increased.P The 62HM84 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.P 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.P Aside from the 20-watts-per-channel stereo speaker system, the 62HM84 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 during commercial breaks.P bWhat's in the Box/bbr 62-inch 62HM84 HD-ready rear-projection DLP TV, four-item illuminated universal remote with DVD control, warranty, and user's manual.

52HM84 - Purchased 3/05 - 3 Lamps now / July 20, 2010
Eric Schnellmann
Bought the unit at Best Buy. Paid $2099. This is more then my first car cost. My first car ran longer. br / br /I have had 2 lamps replaced under the Best buy service plan. Now I need to replace it on my own. No big deal - it's only 2 screws. The issue is that you have to order the darn thing. You have to make sure you order a ORSON brand bulb or you will only get 1/2 the life out of it. The lowest cost I can find is $133.00. br / br /The TV is 5 years old. - The cost is low for the fix but it's a pain in the rear.

unreliable 52HM84 February 11, 2010
Lee Peterson (Tennessee)
I have had my 52" for 4 years and am on my 3 bulb @ $250/ea, not to mention the $368 to have a ballast replaced. Our salesman conveniently left out the problems with a DLP. We should have opted for the LCD and I will not be buying another unreliable Toshiba.

Avoid Toshiba DLP December 21, 2009

This is an annoying and expensive choice for any family and it should be avoided. You need to plan to buy a new lamp, which will cost you about $218.00, every year. That doesn't include any fees for service calls too. A TV that will fail at any moment and require a new lamp is a terrible thing. Calling Toshiba service is a nightmare too.

steer clear of hdlp Toshiba tv's!!! November 18, 2009
AmeliaAirHeart (Fond du lac, WI)
Whatever you do - steer clear of Toshiba HDLP tv's!! We have had ours for four years and are on our 4th lamp replacement. I suggest doing an internet search before you buy, because we are not alone!! There have been serious problems with the HDLP lamps from Toshiba. Nothing more frustrating than to be watching your favorite show or ball game and have the lamp burn out and be without your TV until you get a replacement!!!
