Get the sharpest and clearest images possible from HD and standard TV and your favorite DVD movies with the 42-inch Samsung HL-S4266W DLP projection TV. This relatively lightweight TV weighs less than 62 pounds and measures just 13 inches deep, helping you to avoid sacrificing precious real estate in your home. It has a built-in analog/digital (NTSC/ATSC) tuner, offers both HDMI and component video connections. p table align="right" bgcolor="#99CCFF" border="0" cellpadding="3" width="380" tbodytr td smallbSamsung's DNIe#153;/bbr Samsung's DNIe#153; (click for demo) technology offers digital perfection in naturally presented, crystal-clear images that uncover even the most minute detail./small /td /tr tr td img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/samsung/motion.jpg" br smallbMotion Optimizer:/b The visual data are automatically broken down into signal and noise and adjusted through a combined spatial/temporal process to eliminate noise and blurring without the slightest damage to the original signal.

While other technologies lose a certain amount of light in transit, the microscopic mirrors in a DLP projection system bring more light from lamp to screen. It also features better color uniformity over time--no burn-in, screen aging or color-shifting possible. It's the leading display technology for products like small portable conference room projectors and professional venue entertainment systems. p This Samsung DLP television employs a Texas Instruments DLP chip that is comprised of millions of microscopic mirrors. The DLP chip is faster than any HDTV technology, with the mirrors switching on and off 15,000 times a second to deliver a razor-sharp picture for fast moving images. It also offers Samsung's Cinema Smooth 720p light engine, which creates an image with no visible pixel structure and accurate shading and better low-light detail for the most film-like picture. You'll get up to a 2500:1 contrast ratio with outstanding colors and deep black levels. p The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The 3-line digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. Samsung's Cinema Smooth 3:2 pull-down film mode corrects for the artificial frames created when films are converted to DVDs. The result is a clearer image without the subtle motion artifacts caused by 24-to-30 frames per second video conversion. p Samsung's 2.6-inch color wheel spins at 14,400 rpm for smooth, fast motion video, and has five color segments for more accurate colors. It achieves film-like transitions without pixel breakup found in slower color wheel designs and slower switching LCD microdisplays. Air Bearing technology also makes it whisper quiet. p Samsung also worked closely with Microsoft to create a special Game Mode that optimizes image quality, sound and response time for more realistic video game play--with just a single touch of a button. The Game Mode enhances dark areas, sharpens the picture, speeds up the image processing response and enhances the sounds of your games. p Other features include: ul liPicture format adjustment: Enjoy all your 4:3 aspect-ratio programming in smooth, wide-screen without black bars. Four pre-set aspect ratio modes--Normal, Wide, Zoom 1 and Zoom 2--stretch your image to fill the screen naturally. liColor temperature adjustment: Selectable between Cool1, Cool2, Normal Warm1, and Warm2 with on-screen display. liAuto volume leveler: Keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing to minimize static sound bursts. liDiscrete IR codes: This set is equipped with discrete IR codes for use with a macro/programmable remote. liClosed caption: Displays dialog that can be read along with encoded broadcast TV programs and pre-recorded videos. liV-Chip: Enables parental control for channel and program blocking of TV programs that incorporate the rating code signal. /ul p High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass. It produces 10 watts of power per channel (for 20 watts total). It offers the following connection options: ul liComponent (Y/Pb/Pr): 2 inputs liHDMI: 2 inputs liComposite (RCA audio/video): 3 inputs (1 on the front) liS-Video: 2 inputs liPC: 1 D-Sub-15 input liPC audio: 1 input liRF: 1 input liSound monitor output: 1 liUSB: 1 /ul p bTech Talk/bbr iHDMI/i is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV). p iSRS TruSurround XT/i audio adds three new audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience. ul liDialog Clarity brings movie dialog into OfocusO during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper. liTruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself. liThe SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system. /ul iComponent video/i (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound. p bWhat's in the Box/bbr DLP TV, remote control (with batteries), power cord, printed operating instructions. p bWarranty/bbr It's backed by a 1-year warrant on parts (including lamp) and laboe, with in-home service backed by Samsung toll-free support.

Samsung DLP (Texas Instruments DLP Technology) July 15, 2007

I believe this was the buy of the decade for me. Picture quality is great! Watch the LCD DLP because they can't touch the motion smoothness of a true DLP. If you don't need to hang your TV on a wall get a DLP. Better picture and the cost is less.
Great TV - I've had no problems May 23, 2007

I purchased this television after researching all my HD options. It is the perfect balance or price, size,picture, and life span (of course, anticipating a lamp change). When I purchased it in June of 2006, the price was still $1499 at most places. A couple of points: br /1. Great picture IF you use HD cables. I've gotten great performance out of three video game systems (PS2, Wii, 360) and an upconverting dvd player. br /2. Buy an upconverting DVD player. It is so worth it. And use an HDMI cable with it. br /3. The picture might take a little adjusting, but once you get it right, I think it offers more cinematic visuals than anything I've seen. br /4. The sound quality is surprisingly good. br /5. I haven't had any problems with the tv (although, I must say that mine is not hooked up to any tv signal and I only use it an average of 2 hours a day for movies and games). My understanding is that a lamp change is likely, but that overall, DLP has a longer life than any other HD format.
