Summary: Toshiba 62HM94 review
Comment: When I first purchased this tv the built in tv guide would not work. I called Toshiba and they were very helpful. They sent me a sim upgrade that cleared up the problem. Also the bulb failed while under warranty and they sent me a new bulb to replace the old one. However I am concerned that the bulb would fail with just under a year of duty.

Overall the picture is very good, and in HDTV the picture is incredible. Watching movies is a sheer delight.

My only complaints at this time are that the TV will not auto skip channels for which there is no reception, and it takes a good 5 to 10 seconds to change channels when surfing, a real annoyance. They really need some kind of autoprogramming feature that you find with most TV sets today.

Overall, a wonderful picture and customer service was quite good, unlike some of the other experiences posted. Changing channels if you don't know where you want to go can be realllllly frustrating.

Summary: Inspect screen carefully before accepting delivery.
Comment: Before signing and accepting delivery of any Toshiba DLP, be sure to check the screen to make sure that the coating on the inside of the screen is uniform. On mine, there was a circle about 10" in diameter that you can see in certain lighting and even when the TV is off! It will appear lighter than the surrounding areas at times and can be annoying. I called Toshiba and had a service man come out and even though he acknowledged that this is common, Toshiba will not replace the screen. I would have given them a negative 10 if it were possible just because of their attitude. So, look at the screen VERY carefully before accepting or purchasing. If you see this problem, refuse to accept it. Or else just buy a Samsung or Mitsubishi DLP to avoid the problem I have.

Summary: Toshiba TV's are not reliable.
Comment: I purchased a Toshiba HDTV and had it fail just after the 2 year warranty expired. Toshiba explained there was nothing they would do back up their product. No TV should fail after 2 years. I recommend selecting another brand, you can get the same performance and price, and end up with a more reliable product.

Summary: So far... A very good TV when viewing in HDTV.
Comment: I purchased this TV in 2/05. I was initially unimpressed with the picture quality. In standard definition cable signal the picture can appear to varying degrees, a bit out of focus and fuzzy. I was very concerned and called customer service to have the TV looked at. They were very helpful and located a local repair center for me so that I could then call to schedule an in home appointment. I later learned that HDTV's are designed to show there best picture with an HDTV signal. So I upgraded my cable service to HDTV. It made a tremendous difference when viewing a program on an HDTV channel. In high definition the picture is crystal clear with excellent brightness and color. Sound quality is very impressive even when at maximum volume (no distortion). The theatre type sound effect can be improved with the addition of a surround sound system but it is not needed.

One minor fault, I was not able to get the TV Guide feature to work as a previous writer had mentioned

Summary: Toshiba has Poor Customer Support
Comment: I have trouble with the image on my Toshiba 62hm94 and since have been checking user reviews found on the web. Well I just thought I would share that I have had similar troubles getting anywhere with the repair of my television. When you call customer service they do thier best to not identify when you may expect a repair, or what you should expect of them. Very frustrating.
