Toshiba 62HM196 62-Inch 1080p DLP HDTV
So far so good...UPDATE
Toshiba continues to make some of the best TV's on the market and this one is no exception.  A few notes for people looking to get the older models (XXHM195); this model and the 196's all have the improved/new lamps so the problem the 195's experience will not occur with the 196's.  That's one reason I waited for this 'round' to come out. The 196's also have 2 HDMI inputs which is crucial as HDVD and Blu-Ray come into fruition. With this TV handling 1080p I am 'set' for the next decade re: picture quality since HD DVD is 1080i but Blu-Ray is 1080p and I foresee Blu-Ray 'winning' the war in the long run.<br /><br />My 42\\" Toshiba resides in my living room while this big boy is in my \\"Man's Room\\".  For now, bought a Toshiba 6980 HDMI upscaling DVD player and it works flawlessly.  I run it through my Denon AVR-987 (which is the SAME receiver as their AVR-2807) since the receiver has 2 HDMI inputs and HDCP compatible (also needed for 'future' video).<br /><br />WARNING for ComCast customers: their HDMI PVR cable box does NOT support HDCP receivers so another good reason to get a TV w/at least 2 HDMI inputs - one for the Comcast 'box' and the other for the output from the receiver (where everything else is connected).<br /><br />Why don't I use the CableCard feature you ask? - It's $6.99 and the current TiVo doesn't record in HD so for $9.99 I'll take the HDMI output HD PVR that records 2 shows at once. Plus - this cablecard is not 2.0 compliant which means if I ever want to watch VOD you CAN\\"T without a box.  (Yes, the new TiVo Series 3 will support CableCard 2.0 but at $600 estimated pricing - not worth it and yes, Comcast WILL have a Comcast TiVo PVR by the end of the year but I don't know the specs yet but it will be powered by TiVo software!)<br /><br />And yes, the current Comcast PVR pales in comparison to TiVo and does not work 'that' smooth..<br /><br />Any questions? Feel free to email me.  I shoot straight from the hip.<br /><br />UPDATE 2/27/2013: We've had this TV and it's continued to provide a quality picture. Several months ago the bulb blew.  It's the first time we've replaced the lamp and that's amazing considering it's on everyday for 10-15 hours!  Even though this TV is no longer made; it's held up excellent for our living room.his TV and it's continued to provide a quality picture. Several months ago the bulb blew.
