I received my
HD HQV Benchmark yesterday, and here's the results ...
DISPLAY: Toshiba 62HM196 62" DLP 1080p HDTV
PLAYER: Toshiba HD-A1 (HDMI)
HD NOISE REDUCTION =.................................. 25
PASSED**
HD VIDEO RESOLUTION LOSS =...................... 20
PASSED
VIDEO RECONSTRUCTION 1 = ......................... 10
PASSED (Jaggies - 3 bars, De-Interlacing)
VIDEO RECONSTRUCTION 2 = ......................... within ±10-degree
PASSED (Jaggies- 1 rotating bar vs. angle, De-Interlacing)
FILM RESOLUTION LOST TEST SMPTE = ......... 0
FAILED*** (Vertical bands strobing / boxes with the stripped horizontal lines)
FILM RESOLUTION LOST TEST - STADIUM = ... 10 (
PASSED*** -
No moiré or flickering in the upper stands)
**Toshiba 62HM196 DNR Control =
HIGH (previously OFF. I finally could see it's effectiveness with HD HQV Benchmark - see The Perfect Vision article below)
*** According to HQV Testing & Scoring Guide, since the 62HM196 Failed the 1st FILM RESOLUTION LOST TEST, ... the 62HM196
will "Fail" the 2nd FILM RESOLUTION LOST TEST - STADIUM, ... which my 62HM196
PASSED!!!
Comments:
Whatever Toshiba is doing, the 62HM196 video processor can (to a degree - by passing the 2nd FILM RESOLUTION LOST TEST - STADIUM) identify the source cadence and apply the proper inverse cadence to recreate the original 1080p image. Also, Toshiba's video processor in my 62HM196 can properly recognize the source type and apply the right de-interlacing to achieve the full 1080p image.
My results coincides with
The Perfect Vision Winter 2007 review & benchmark results with the Toshiba 72HM196 HDTV ...

Digital noise reduction was somewhat effective- a setting of high offered some improvement over off, and it didn't degrade the picture, so I left it on. The processor picked up 3:2 pull-down reliably, but not so quickly.
The same was true for a 3:2-pulldown test clip in 1080i from HD DVD. However, once it did lock on, the clip looked exceptionally smooth, leading me to suspect that it must be performing inverse telecine instead of motion-adaptive deinterlacing. Rather than trying to compensate for the extra unpaired fields in a 1080i/60 signal, inverse telecine simply discards those extra fields and reconstructs the original film frames using only matched pairs of fields.

I Highly recommended this HQV Benchmark HD DVD (& Blu-ray HQV)! It can show you how
GREAT (
or not) your
1080p HDTV display is!!! 
The question is, ... Do You Want To Know???
