Toshiba 62HM196 Settings

[teamerickson]

I just purchased a Toshiba 62HM196. Has anybody calibrated this set? If so, would you care to share the settings? Thanks.

The reviews are great with this set but they warned that out of the box the colors were off a bit.

There's a monster thread on this model line over at the AVS Forum site. I have the 62HMX94, love it. But, sharing calibration settings is, from what I understand, pretty much impossible, unless you also happen to be using the same DVD player connected the same way as the other person used when he/she calibrated using one of the various calibration disks. To be honest, I'd really recommend one of those disks. I have Digital Video Essentials. The menu system does indeed suck, but the content is solid, and nothing beats seeing a before and after.

There may have been a problem with 05 models but I believe they resolved it. They (Toshibe DLP) are also rated as one of the least in needing repairs by Consumer Reports..

My friend got one in September and the lamp blew on Jan 3rd. I wouldn't put any stock in what CR says.
