New Talen DLP Light Engine with IDEAL (Intelligent Dynamic Algorithms and Lens control) ATSC/QAM Tuners enable the set to receive digital cable-in the-clear signals, as well as digital terrestrial broadcasts. CableCARD allows for the reception of all applicable digital cable channels without the need of a cable box. This card is supplied by the local Cable MSO. PixelPure is a suite of 8 different digital video processing circuits that combine to create a consistently clearer, deeper and more accurate picture. PixelPure is the key to Toshiba's fixed pixel picture quality; it is the processing that makes the picture. OmniViewer Memory Card Slots accommodate 5 different types of memory cards (SD, MM, MS, CF, SM) and includes a JPEG Viewer program that allows the TV to display pictures from most digital cameras.

Customer Rating: Summary: Mine Works Great!! Comment: I have had this TV since December 2006. I have watched a lot of TV and played a lot of 360 on this TV and I have never had an issue. I have never burnt out a bulb or experienced any issues that the occasional reset can't fix. I have moved twice since owning this TV (once over 6 hours away) and everytime I moved into my new place and plugged in this TV, it worked liked it had never been moved! Obviously the sound sucks but if you buy a TV this big and are not using a surround sound system then you're crazy. The HD is superb with rich colors and crisp picture. I can't speak for anyone else on here but this TV has been a great purchase for me and I would definitely buy it again! Customer Rating: Summary: After three years... Comment: Within weeks of the warrenty expiring, while viewing, there was a loud "pop" and the picture ended. Not only had the bulb failed, bot also the "ballast." Fortunately, an extended warranty had been purchased. The service company picked up the unit and kept it, awaiting parts from Toshiba, for over three months. As others have reported, there were no parts readilly available at the time. Toshiba CS was no help at all.
Since the reapir, the unit has been "uber reilable," with an occassional (rare) push of the reset button. The picture is bright, the sound is excellent. In spite of the difficulties with Toshiba, it has been a worthwhile purchase. Customer Rating: Summary: Love this TV. Until it didn't work anymore. Comment: I bought this TV from Costco. After about 3 years, the lamp stopped working. So I replaced it and i didn't mind too much - $200 every 3-4 years is not great, but ok. But then 9 months later, the new lamp stopped working. I replaced it twice only to discover that now the lamp wasn't the problem. Rather it was something much more expensive like the ballast board or the light engine. Rather get another TV. Customer Rating: Summary: 62HM95, not as bad as rated here. Comment: Well, I have to say I am a little surprised at the bashing this TV has taken from reviewers. We did experience a dead bulb very early on and Toshiba warranty replaced the bulb plus added 2 years to the warranty. Since that bulb, we've not had to replace it. The TV does have some peculiar behaviors, like the fans running all the time or the occasional no antenna signal for HD channels (yes, over the air). We paid $2400 back in 2006 for this and it's still a relative bargain for the size to cost ratio. In short, it's a great 1080i TV for the size, cost and function. The picture is great and it's been hanging on for about 3 years now. I just wish DLP was still as readily available, LCD and Plasma is just too high cost for the size - and frankly DLP works great. My $.02. Customer Rating: Summary: Optic Engine Failed after 3 years Comment: My Toshiba 62HM95 DLP TV started making a loud buzzing or fan noise. I had an authorized Toshiba repair center come out to look at it and they determined it requires a new optic engine which has the color wheel. Total price of repair is $730.30. I've already had to replace the lamp unit far before it's advertised life expectancy. I called Toshiba and they said too bad. I will never buy another Toshiba product.
