HL-S4226W (bought 3 weeks ago)

Biggest tv I could fit in my bedroom armoire and price and reviews

3. What you like best about your DLP.

Wonderful picture/very adequate sound (no room for sound system)

Since I don't stay in the bedroom all day, not getting to watch it as much as I'd like.

5. What "Feature(s)" you wish your DLP had.

Ability to use the sharpness option and actually get results. However, after having it calibrated this past weekend, I'm not that concerned.

Maybe a little better speaker system.

7. What was your biggest "Surprise" after you received your DLP.

9. Do you really think that todays "Prices" are worth it.

NO

10. Any additional information that you want to add is encouraged.

Husband and I are very happy with this set. For the size and price, we couldn't have gotten a better deal. I thought I just had to have an LCD and am SO glad I found this one instead.

1. Samsung HL-S6187w
2. Picture Quality, size, overall design of the set(love that power button!)
3. HD!!! Ive had it for 3 months and I still say "WOW" daily.
4. Im not going to like buying new bulbs
5. PIP, although Ive had it on other TVs and never used it
6. Cant really think of anything
7. How much bigger it was in my living room compared to Best Buy.
8. none
9. Yes. I have no regrets about the price I paid for this TV.
10. This is my first "Big Screen" tv and I dont think I could be happier with it. I now find it difficult to watch a game at the bar or a friends house because I know it would look so much better on my Sammy.

1. HL-S5087W
2. Price was low for a 1080P 50" TV
3. Everything PQ related. It's PQ is better than all my friends HDTV's.
4. I sometimes notice rainbowing, but I've learned to tune it out.
5. I wish it's overscan would stay off...or at least have the option in the user menu.
6. My answer to # 5...but they already fixed it with the newer sets. Nothing really!
7. I could lift it up with one hand and throw it over my house if I wanted to. Weighs nothing for how big it is.
8. I haven't had a single problem with mine (cross fingers)
9. Over the internet? Yes! At best buy? Not so much.
10. I will always own DLP TV's from now on. I am fascinated with the technology and can't wait to see how well the LED based models do in 2007. I even plan to own a DLP front projector in the far future (when the 3 chip models come down A LOT in price).

1. The "Model" you have. Mitsubishi WD-52631

2. What convinced you to purchase this particular model. The HD picture in the store whooped everyone elses, including the Sony SXRD.

3. What you like best about your DLP. The HD picture

4. What you don't like about your DLP. The SD picture is not the greatest.

5. What "Feature(s)" you wish your DLP had. I basically use it as a monitor. All I do is turn it on and that's it. Everything else is done through my video procesor and receiver.

6. What advice or suggestion would you make to the "Manufacturer" about your DLP. Improve the SD picture quality.

7. What was your biggest "Surprise" after you received your DLP.[I] None[/i]

8. What "Problems or Issues" have you had with your DLP. There is an issue with the connector on the overtemp sensor but it has been resolved.

9. Do you really think that todays "Prices" are worth it. NO! We're paying for the technology research still.

10. Any additional information that you want to add is encouraged. The video tech that came to fix the sensor said to get the extended warranty. His business has boomed since the advent of new technologies. He said that ALL the types of TVs have problems whether it is DLP, Plasma, LCD, etc.

1. The "Model" you have.
.... a) Toshiba 62HM196

2. What convinced you to purchase this particular model.
.... a) Actually, I bought the 56HM195 (Feb. 1, 2006), ... it died during a firmware upgrade and Toshiba replaced the 56HM195 & TV Stand with the 62HM196 & TV Stand for FREE!!! Thank you Toshiba!!! (Received Nov. 9, 2006)
.... b) Excellent Customer Service (owned Toshiba TVs for the last 20 years)

3. What you like best about your DLP. NOTE: All comments based on after I calibrated my Color & Tint using the BLUE filter & Contrast & Brightness using the PLUGE test screen - Digital Video Essentials.

.... a) Excellent A/V quality. ... Best. Value. Ever. (quote from Wired Mag. Test)

.... b) 1:1 Pixel Mode (aspect-ratio setting = NATURAL)
........ 1) "The importance of a 1:1 mode cannot be overstated when it comes to 1920x1080 content ... This is one reason the 72HM196 looked so good displaying HD DVDs (as long as its NATURAL aspect-ratio was selected" (quote from Winter 2007 The Perfect Vision mag. - Review: Toshiba 72HM196)

.... c) Resolves every detail of 1080i/p sources (quote from NOV 2006 Sound & Vision Magazine - Review 62HM196)

.... d) No gradations (false contouring) issues which means a very smooth transition blends from dark to light scenes.
........ 1) "... Master and Commander looked great, with excellent shadow detail in the below-deck walk at the beginning and no false contouring in the transition to morning fog." (quote from Winter 2007 The Perfect Vision mag. - Review: Toshiba 72HM196)
........ 2) Credit Toshiba by adding the PixelPure Hi-Bit 12-Bit Digital Video Processing chip.

.... e) Reproduces deep, clean blacks and shadows (quote from NOV 2006 Sound & Vision Magazine - Review 62HM196)

.... f) Uniform picture across the screen (quote from NOV 2006 Sound & Vision Magazine - Review 62HM196)

.... g) Excellent value in a big big-screen set (quote from ultimate AV - Review 62HM196)

.... h) ONE button "FAVORITE" Channel access
........ 1) Virtually unlimited "FAVORITE" Channel memory - access channels scrolling left or right
........ 2) Scroll up or down to also access "Last CH Memory" (erased when OFF) and "ALL Video INPUTS"

4. What you don't like about your DLP.
.... a) None to report so far (owned & used daily since November, 9 2006)

5. What "Feature(s)" you wish your DLP had.
.... a) Can't think of any.

6. What advice or suggestion would you make to the "Manufacturer" about your DLP.
.... a) No advise or suggestions, they did a great job providing an excellent HDTV display based on size vs. performance vs. price! My 1080p HDTV and HD DVD's look glorious @ 62"!!!
.... b) Primary use = HDTV & SD / HD DVDs.

7. What was your biggest "Surprise" after you received your DLP.
.... a) Well, after living with a 56" 1080p HDTV (5 months / 50" CRT based RPTV for 4-1/2 years), the newer** & larger 62" 1080p HDTV was more impressively detailed and liquidly sharp (HDTV & HD DVDs ) after I calibrated the video even though it had more real-estate!!! Quite a feat considering the little DLP chip!!!
........ 1) ** xHD5 vs. xHD4 1920x1080 chip
........ 2) **PixelPure Hi-Bit 12-Bit Digital Video Processing chip vs. 10-Bit Digital Video Processing chip.

8. What "Problems or Issues" have you had with your DLP.
.... a) Toshiba 62HM196 1080p HDTV - NONE to report so far (owned since November, 9 2006)
.... b) Toshiba 56HM195 1080p HDTV - NONE , until I tried to upgrade the Firmware (owned since Feb. 1 2006)
.... c) Toshiba 50H81 50" CRT RPTV - NONE, sold it via Craigslist (owned since Sept. 2001)
.... d) Toshiba 35" Direct Tube TV - NONE @ my vacation house (owned since Jan. 1995)
.... e) Toshiba 19" Direct Tube TV - NONE, sold, garage sale (owned since 1987 / sold 1995)

9. Do you really think that todays "Prices" are worth it.
.... a) Yes, shop around for the best price or wait a while for the latest 1080p model 62HM197.

10. Any additional information that you want to add is encouraged.
.... a) RBE (rainbow effect): I don't have this problem along with over 40+ friends that have been over during my once or twice a month Friday NITE HD / SD DVDs shows. I did have on friend that saw a little on my 56HM195, but when he was over to see my 62HM196, he had to admit that Toshiba corrected the occasional RBE issue that he saw on my 56HM195 since he didn't notice it anymore.
.... b) (quote from ultimate AV - Review 62HM196) "Random Details
I'm sensitive to rainbows generated by the color wheel in single-chip DLP sets, and they were occasionally visible on the Toshiba, but they were so rare they never bothered me."

Phil

1. The "Model" you have.

Just received my 2nd DLP unit on Friday 3/9/07, a Sammy HL-S6187W.

Size to price ratio and the picture is really nice, also 1080p

I'm content with all included features

Just how much that HD picture pops out and all of the compliments I've received.

8. What "Problems or Issues" have you had with your DLP.

None with this set. My first DLP needed service two weeks after purchasing it. Best Buy did a wonderful job at resolving the issue. I believe he replaced the light engine but I was out of town when the work was done and heard second hand from my parents on what the tech did. Not a realible source

9. Do you really think that todays "Prices" are worth it.

Sure I guess

7. What was your biggest "Surprise" after you received your DLP. How light it was and how GREAT HD looked!!

8. What "Problems or Issues" have you had with your DLP. None so far! knock on wood!

9. Do you really think that todays "Prices" are worth it. 65" of HIGH DEF......HELL YA

10. Any additional information that you want to add is encourage In this case bigger (Is) better and if you don't own a HD or BD player .......you just don't know what your missing!

1. The "Model" you have. Samsung HLS5086W

2. What convinced you to purchase this particular model. Price and features

3. What you like best about your DLP. Image quality.

4. What you don't like about your DLP. Not much to complain about, other than I wish it were 1080p.

5. What "Feature(s)" you wish your DLP had. Just the higher resolution.

6. What advice or suggestion would you make to the "Manufacturer" about your DLP.None, really, other than lower prices.

7. What was your biggest "Surprise" after you received your DLP.None that I know of.

8. What "Problems or Issues" have you had with your DLP.So far, none.

9. Do you really think that todays "Prices" are worth it.I think they are reasonable.

10. Any additional information that you want to add is encouraged.Not at this time.

1. Mitsubishi WD-57831

2. Great reviews, screen uniformity, 1080p inputs over HDMI and DVI-I, six segment color wheel allowing AMAZING picture control

3. So far...everything! I've had it only three days, but the picture quality on 1080i sources, even with component (for my HD DVR) is better than my XBR1. I watched a saved episode of 'The Office' and was stunned. The picture tweaks make things look even better too. The colors are just perfect, IMO, though I'll likely have it ISF'ed at a later date.!

4. The "new lamp" smell is a bit off putting, but I've heard it's normal. In fact it's much improved already after 48 hours.

5. 1080p over component, maybe user-menu grayscale tweaks (but the grayscale tracks well out-of-the-box anyway, and the SM is easy to access).

6. Keep up the good work, and I hope if there are any future issues that your service department is top notch, as I've had some bad experiences with HDTV's in recent years *fingers crossed*

7. How damn bright it was with the "Brillian" settings! Also how much smaller it looked compared to my 50" XBR1, despite the 57" screen size of the Mits. My wife will also say the feathery weight, since a week prior we moved a 32" Sony tube HDTV and DAMN was it heavy!

8. Nothing other than the "new bulb" smell. I guess having too many options COULD be considered a problem for some.

9. No, but they are so far down from a few years ago that I can't complain too much. My wife and I are comfortable and even with our issues we've been able to get what we want. It's perfect for our home, and while we wish it were cheaper (since we still have outstanding student loans) it's not a bankruptcy portend.

10. I can see rainbows, as can most DLP owners. I noticed going from a 720p Samsung DLP to the XBR1 that I saw them more than I thought. That being said, they've never bothered me...on black and white material, high contrast, etc. I see them when I LOOK for them. The rainbow effect on the Mits however does seem lessened. The best thing for me though, is the color uniformity...and that's something that CAN'T be overlooked. Watching 'Sin City' on the Mits DLP is infinitely more enjoyable to me than it was on my XBR1, since the grays are flat across the screen.
