At screen sizes of 60" and above, 1080p resolution really helps to maintain that smooth, seamless, lifelike picture quality. 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels) is the highest TV resolution available — it puts twice as many pixels on screen as a 720p TV. A 1080p display is also an ideal match for 1080i HDTV programs and high-definition HD DVD players.
The 62HM196 uses a Toshiba-designed "light engine" based on DLP™ (Digital Light Processing). You'll love the ultra-crisp clarity of high-quality video sources like DVDs and high-definition material. Lower-quality video will surprise you — Toshiba just upgraded their video processing circuitry and it's now even more effective at reducing noise while improving detail, contrast, and color.
This "Digital Cable Ready" TV has built-in tuners for over-the-air and cable digital TV. To make full use of the set's cable tuner, you should request a CableCARD from your local service provider. The card goes in the dedicated slot in the TV's back panel and replaces your set-top cable box. Using a CableCARD will simplify your hookup and operation and provide a slightly clearer picture. Navigating among your broadcast and cable channels is easy thanks to the included TV Guide On Screen program guide. The color-coded grid makes it a snap to sort through programs for viewing and schedule recordings to your VCR, DVR, or DVD recorder.
Toshiba's 1080p big-screens feature an exceptionally flexible and future-ready set of audio/video connections. In addition to two component video inputs, you'll find two digital HDMI inputs (HDMI has quickly become the must-have connection for hooking up high-definition components).
