Ultimate AV has a review of Toshiba’s TheaterWide 62HM196 HDTV. It’s a rear-projection 1080p DLP design. This set retails for $2,999,99. Or about $48 for each of its 62 diagonal inches. The DMD actually has 960 x 1080 pixels, and it produces the full 1920 x 1080 resolution by offsettingthose pixels. This is a technique HP coined “wobulation”.

I know the question you’re all thinking. This set will not accept 1080p on its HDMI inputs. But this should only be a concern for you if you want to get into 1080p gaming on a PS3, or somesuch. If you will only use this set for mmovies, then you needn’t worry. HD DVD and BD movies are all currently 1080p/24, converted to 1080i, then to 1080p in the television. So for 1080p/24 content, this set will produce a picture just as good as one that does accept 1080p. But what else can this set do?

For that, you’ll have to wait a bit more! Mr. Norton was quite happy with the performance of this set. For the full review, check out the Ultimate AV site, link below.
