5 comments about Toshiba TALEN 65HM167 65-Inch 1080p DLP HDTV - EOL August 2007.

1. This is my first HDTV. It's huge! I am very happy with it. I researched a lot of HDTV's before choosing this one. I already own a Toshiba Theater view, which I am also happy with, I purchased years ago, so I trust the name. I use it for gaming as well, and it looks great. My HD channels are sparkling sharp, when they are broad casted correctly, of course. 1080p ready for the future. Plenty of ports for me. WOW sound really does make a difference. Delivery was excellent! No complaints.



2. This television is absolutely phenomenal!! The clarity is unbelievable and it is very easy to set up as well as navigate the menus. I strongly recommend buying generic HDMI cables as I have seen no noticeable difference between the so called "high quality" ones and the generic. PS3 and my HD-DVD players both look great. Playing the Nintendo Wii is an experience all in its own. The set has a multitude of options for connecting any device you can think of except S-video but honestly, who ever used S-video? Can't say enough great things about this set. You won't be disappointed.



3. First let me say I am a Toshiba fan. I have 3 other Toshiba tube units, one 15 years old and still running.
   
   So far so good very good picture and a pleasure to watch. I bought mine late November 2007 and added a HD Sat Receiver mid December. To really appreciate this set you must have a HD receiver pushing HD. If you are not watching HD then you are stretching your standard def picture to 65".
   
   This unit has 3 HDMI inputs that makes playing XBox 360 and Playstation 3 a very easy experience switching sources and one HDMI for other expansion.
   
   Now if I do not run into bulb issues this set will be perfect.



4. I bought this hdtv in August 2007 after shopping for a hdtv for about 2 and a half years, mainly waiting for prices to drop and for 1080p models to come out instead of then current 720p models. It has been 5 months and I have NO bulb issues as of yet, but I have the bulb set to low power and do not turn it off and on frequently. The 1080p display is wonderful with an HDMI cable, I have this oneInspire 1080p (6.6ft) 2M HDMI PS3 Cable 1.3b Certified. Screen size is just the right size for watching football and using a PS3 for both gaming and Blu-ray movies.The HDMI inputs on this set are 1.3 even though it is not mentioned anywhere in the description. I am happy with my Toshiba.



5. My Sony Wega 50" was dying (some sort of mirror issue causing blue streaks in the picture. Its apparently very prevelant in this model, but I have not gotten much response from Sony for a post warranty fix and from what hear its close to $1000 to repair). I was also 2 years + into my second bulb ($400). So I've had my eye out for a larger HD tv for several months now. I dont need PIP (comes with brighthouse DVR) and dont really care about sound since I pipe the cable/DVD audio to my reciever. I was just looking for a big, clear 1080p set. I saw this model in this week's circuit city flyer (Jan 27, 2008) for $1399!. I got the tape measure out to make sure it would fit in my built-in media space and went to CC to check it out. With standard HD inputs (probably 1080i). This set appeared to have the best picture of all the projection units on the wall (with the exception of a Mitubisi 75" unit that the salesman said was playing a 1080p HD DVD). I measured it out, and with my existing tv stand it fit in the media space with about 1 inch to spare on all sides. We loaded it my truck and took it home. In 20 minutes I had it fired up (well, almost, I needed to go buy an HDMI cable for $35). I've only got 1 day on it, but its a stunning picture and makes a huge difference from my 50" Sony. My viewing distance is probably longer than most (maybe 15' to the couch)
   
   Anyway, if you are looking for a decent DLP set with a big picture and dont need a lot of useless bells and whistles get down to CC and check this one out.
   For $1600 I'd probably look around a bit more, but at $1399 this set tripped my price trigger and I'm quite happy with it.

1. Wow, The picture on this set blows away DLP sets! No color wheel to breakdown or add rainbow artifacts, and the light source will last much longer than other types. The three LCD panels have better contrast than DLP sets, and are much larger, there by reducing the obvious pixels that our DLP had. Panasonic has a winner here, too bad that rear projection TVs are going away, they are much less costly than Plasma or other direct view tvs. We don't mind that it won't wall hang, the set is attractive and has a small foot print anyway.

1. Why spend a fortune on a measly 50-inch flat panel when you can get this high definition (720p) projector and get a 100-inch image or even larger for less money? Sanyo's latest 3-chip LCD projector, the PLV-Z5 builds on the success of its predecessors with wonderfully sharp high definition resolution, excellent color accuracy, and outstanding ergonomics.
   
   This widescreen projector supports high definition signals in 1080p, 1080i and 720p formats, as well as SD signals in 480i and 480p resolution, scaling each of these inputs to fit its native panel resolution (1280x720). And speaking of inputs, the Z5 sports 2 HDMI (HDCP compliant), 2 component video, S-video, composite video and computer (VGA DB-15) inputs, for compatibility with virtually any HD or SD video source or computer.
   
   The lens shift capabilities of the Sanyo are unmatched by any projector in its class (150% up/down, 50% left/right), which makes it very easy to place, along a rear wall, ceiling, or even on a coffee table. You could practically place this projector in the corner of a room and still get a geometrically accurate image in the middle of a wall or screen without having to resort to electronic keystoning.
   
   A couple of small caveats: it is not the best we've seen at converting SD signals into 720P HD format (it's also not the worst), so you'll definitely benefit from having a high quality video processor or high-end upconverting DVD player to improve the quality of standard DVDs. Also, at only 1100 ANSI Lumens, it's not the brightest projector in its class, so it's a good idea to get blackout shades or other light controlling devices if you plan to watch this during daylight hours.
   
   But for a light-controlled home theater environment, and particularly when used with HD devices or a high-quality video processor, the Z5 is one of the best values in high definition projectors available today.

2. I bought it to bring it to my home in Argentina, because of the good reviews and because I think it will be easier to find support here for this product than for a equally-priced Optoma.
   
   Setup was easy, image quality is better than that of my 4 year old Sim2 ST200 (DLP), and the noise is really low.
   
   Maybe there is more "pixelation" in the image, but you should really concentrate in the "noise" and not in the movie to perceive it (and also because I tend to have a bigger image than I should, according to official mantra).
