I like the tv overall. Beware Toshiba, however. The lamp life was too short. When I ordered a $199.95 replacement and paid extra for 2 day shipping, the lamp didn't come for a week. When I called Toshiba, they explained that I ordered after 2:00 p.m. on a Friday, and they don't ship on the weekend. When I explained that this still didn't explain why 2 day shipping took a week, they explained that address verification took some time and that I received it 2 days after they finally shipped it.
The bottom line is: 1) the lamp life is short; 2) the replacement cost is expensive; 3) you will be without your tv for a week even when you pay for faster shipping; and 4) Toshiba customer service is poor.

I just received my 62HM95. This television is an upgrade from the last years model of the 62HM94. The only real difference is a brighter and longer lasting lamp and the upgraded software for the online TV guide. This TV uses the Texas Instrument DLP technology. DLP stands for Digital Light Processing and is considered a very stable and long lasting projection technology as opposed to LCD and especially plasma. This TV using cable either can use an installed cable card or the box. If you choose the card and you gain and you lose. Mostly you lose the ability for pay-per-view and video on demand. If you would rarely use these as I rarely do then it is no loss. You gain no rental fee for the box even though there is a small rental for the card. Also you wont have a big cluncky box hooked up.
The screen is bright and as sharp as they come with HD programming. But in reality, most programming is not in HD but either in analog or digital. Digital looks pretty good and the analog stations look like crap. Ironically, the receiving technology in this TV far exceeds the available transmission technology. Using a DVD player, made sure it has the progressive scan feature and use the component hookup versus the audio/video hookups. Without progressive scan, looks like crap. Without the component hookups, looks like crap. Forget your VCR and old LaserDisc players, you just won't like the look. Very digital looking if you know what I mean.
You will like the lamp, which has a limited life, on bright. The lamp is rated from 6000 to 8000 hours. Toshiba told me they expect it to last 5 years. We will see. Toshiba states that the lamp will likely need replacement at some time. The lamp is easily replaced by the owner but also be aware that at least as of right now, a new lamp cost about $400. Pretty pricey. The TV is very light, just under 100 pounds and is about 21 inches deep. It sits closer to the wall than most. Keep in mind also that this TV pretty much only fits on the stand made for it but doesnt come with it. It is also about $400.
This is not the TV of old where you plug in the cable, turn it on and bam it looks great. It definitely takes some fine tuning and has a lot of options for that tuning. Lots of little perks like you can directly place in digital camera cards and looks at the pics, kinda neat but you probably wont use it much. But, once you get the tweeking down, this TV looks and performs as good as any out there for the money and Toshiba's customer service is top-notch.

This TV is easy to use, has a good array of inputs on the back, and even has a headphone input. My biggest complaint is the light bleed especially the edges. Coupled with Blu-Ray the picture is amazing but when my eyes aren't attracted to the edges I'm looking at that spot that supposed to be dark but is kind of shiny-ish. If you know what I am talking about and really don't care then I highly suggest this TV and brand in general for the ease of use and low prices but if you are easily distracted like me you should probably look for something else...

Delivery was as promised, and the television is wonderful. The picture is great, and my only regret is that I did not purchase a larger screen.
By Adam J. Richter (Campbell, California USA)
When playing digital broadcast television or HDMI digital audio such as from a blu-ray or DVD, the built-in speakers have substantial hiss reminscient of a distant analog television siginal. The headphone jack (the unmarked hole in back of the left edge of the monitor) also has audio static, although the static was only noticible when I used my $[...] Maxell dhp-ii headphones and unnoticible on my $[...] Inland heaphones. I bought one of these televisions at Costco and swapped it out for a replacement due to the audio static, and both units had the same audio static. I work around this by connecting my headphones directly to my blu-ray player and keeping something plugged into the telvision's headphone jack.
Also, if you are going to use this television as a monitor always playing video-only signals, you should be relieved to know that the audio static apparently does not occur until it is asked to play audio. So, if you are just going to connect the monitor to an HDMI computer video card with no audio, you may never have to deal with the static.
Another drawback you should be aware of is that you need an external AC power switch to get the unit's logo light to turn off.
Finally a really minor complaint is that selecting VGA input from the remote control requires a multi-key sequence that has a fast enough timeout that I often have to try twice. The other inputs have their own buttons on the remote control, so this problem only applies to VGA, which will become less popular in the future anyhow.
In spite of these drawbacks, if you think of this device as a video-only monitor with a good number of inputs that, as a bonus, includes speakers and a broadcast digital TV tuner that can be used to catch the news occasionally, it is cost competitive with similar computer monitors that have no speakers and no ATSC tuner.

As a future college student, I have looked for, researched, and tried out many small HDTV's to use as a computer monitor/HDTV for my dorm room. The employees at Best Buy stated that if a TV wasn't over 46 inches big, you couldn't tell the difference between 1080p and 720p. However, he didn't know what he was saying. At relatively far distances (i.e. normal watching distance for most TV's) the difference between 1080p and 720p is small to none. However, from a short distance (like 4 feet for a 42 inch, or 1.5 feet for a 24 inch) you can easily tell the difference in resolution. This is where this T.V. comes in. As a computer monitor, I will be close up to the screen, reading tiny text like the text in this review! Now that the main issue has been sorted out, it's onto the main review:
Contrast-5000:1 may seem like a big number, but that is only dynamic. Although I couldn't find the static/typical contrast, it is probably around 900-1000. However, since this set has a relatively low brightness (300 cd/m2), blacks looked blacker than normal, which is a good thing.
Resolution- 1080p...enough said!
Motion- 5 ms means that button presses on any device (like a keyboard or game console) happen with only an unnoticable .05 second delay, which is lightning fast. However, since there is no 120Hz, there will be noticeable motion blur on extremely fast action scenes. This tv is relatively small, so motion blur won't be a big problem for normal watching and gaming.
Feature Set/Presentation- since this is an ECO HDTV, it uses far less power than previous models, if your into the whole energy saving thing. SRS TruSurround is always a good thing for making movies and other sounds "pop" but when that program is run through 3 Watt speakers, you can't expect much. The 3D comb filter, now standard with many HDTV's, helped to put out a wide color scheme; at least that's what my friends said they saw, I'm colorblind, so color gamut specs really don't apply to me. The white/black look touches off my 360, but it can only match with so many things.
Overall Value- for a little over $300, you get full 1080p, a relatively "large-small-screen" great for a computer monitor, and the confidence that you got another good HDTV from Vizio.
Hope you liked the review!
