Toshiba 56HM195

Pros: Detailed crystal clear PQ w/inky blacks & sharper picture than many sets.

Cons: Very minor 'false contour' banding - like other digital HDTVs.

The Bottom Line: If you want an excellent 1080p PQ without taking out a 2nd or 3rd mortgage, then the Toshiba 56HM195 is the ticket.

Pros: Great picture, plenty of A/V inputs, HDMI connection

Cons: DLP bulb technology, warranty repair service

The Bottom Line: avoid DLP TVs, they might have great picture, but repairs are unavoidable, especially because they are designed this way

Review: DLP HDTVs look spectacular... when they work. I purchased the 56HM195 about two months ago and have it hooked up to digital satellite HDTV. The picture is pretty amazing. Much better than standard TV. But then just a few days ago, the TV stopped working. ...

Pros: Takes up relatively little space due to the placement of the speakers below.

Cons: Defective out of the box and getting worse all of the time. Not recommended.
