Product Description
Samsung TV's with DLP technology from Texas Instruments take HDTV to a higher level. Digital Light Processing (DLP) is a technology where the image is created by microscopically small mirrors. The rapid repositioning of the mirrors allows variation in the intensity of the light reflected through the lens, creating shades of grey in addition to black&white. Brilliant Color technology provides a brightness increase in non-primary colors and boosts overall color intensity. Samsung's Cinema Smooth 1080p light engine provides a smooth film-like image with up to 10,000:1 contrast ratio. The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. Bring the theater home, and be assured of a quality visual experience in this 56-inch widescreen model. 2-HDMI Input (High Definition Multimedia Interface) / 2-Component Video Inputs / 2 x A/V Composite Inputs And 2 S-Video Inputs USB 1.1 / PC (RGB) input / IEEE 1394

Customer Reviews
I did pretty extensive legwork selecting a television. It was the first widescreen TV I've bought and was going into a new home, so I wanted it to be right. My experience was that I first had to narrow down which technology I wanted to buy. I found that rear projection TVs such as DLP or the Sony variation SXRD looked best to me -- Plasma and LCD were too "pixel"-y for me, and I appreciated rear projection's more film like look. You need to look for yourself at the local video store -- this part of the quest is a question of taste.
The short review of the television is that I found the high end Sony TVs to be best in class, and, after an hour or more of watching them side by side in several environments, could not discern any quality difference with the Samsung. I preferred the Samsung's styling, user control, remote design, and price. My online research indicates that the Samsung is highly configurable to industry standards by a qualified "tweaker". I have also read good things about Samsung's customer service and appreciated that there were no specific issues raised by online enthusiasts, in contrast to several issues such as a green blob discussed repeatedly in regard to the Sony SXRDs. I have had no issue at all with mine.
I'm very satisfied with the television and highly satisfied with Amazon's price, delivery and price drop policy.
The TV is very responsive to quality input -- standard def is OK, but the better the signal, the happier you'll be. I'm looking at DishNetwork satellite, upscaled DVD, and Hires DivX. These 1080i sources are great, and the TV is still limited by signal -- I've seen Bluray demo material on this unit and its yet another step up.
I found sports and high action scenes to look very good -- no rainbows that I can see. I felt that the image was sharper and color range better than other manufacturers' units, except for Sony's XBR series. The Sony I found to be identical in quality, with color and saturation differences that were subject to change based on settings and pretty subjective as to "best".
