Amazon.com Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description Prepare to be amazed by the broad, 50-inch screen and slender, 17.6-inch profile of Samsung's DLP-based HLN5065W projection television. The set's widescreen format is specially configured to accommodate the native aspect ratios of your favorite movies, and its small size and relatively light weight (under 80 pounds) free you to try it out in different parts of your home before settling on the spot that's right for you.P table align="right" width="310"trtd table align="right" cellspacing="5" bgcolor="#FFFFCC" cellpadding="5" width="300" trtd align="center"bWhat is DLP?/b/td/tr tr tdimg align="left" hspace="5" width="90" alt="The DLP processor" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/chip.jpg" DLP, or Digital Light Processing, is a technology that bounces a colored light beam across an array of hundreds of thousands of hinge-mounted microscopic mirrors attached to a single chip, called a "micro mirror device" (below, pictured with the head of a pin). /td /tr trtdcenter img align="middle" width="250" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/pinhead.jpg" alt="DLP mirrors dwarfed by the head of a pin" /center/td/tr tr tdEach of the mirrors can be pointed toward or away from the light source thousands of times per second, providing not only minute color detail but also sharper resolution than even LCD displays./td /tr trtdcenter img width="250" alt="Detail of resolution comparison between LCD and DLP" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/bear.jpg" /center/td/tr /table /td/tr/table This isn't your garden-variety projection set. DLP, or Digital Light Processing technology (developed by Texas Instruments), allows purely digital connections between video sources and the projection system in front of you. The HLN5065W uses a second-generation (HD-2) DMD Chip, which--combined with Samsung's light-processing optics--results in clear, bright, high-contrast images. Further, the DLP panel is insusceptible to the damaging effects of heat, humidity, vibration, or aging, so burn-in will never be an issue--all the more reason to make your TV double as a computer monitor. Hang it, mount it, or place it on a stand.P And, when you're ready to take on the world of high-definition television, just add an HD satellite/off-air receiver or an HDTV tuner to enjoy full-quality digital HDTV broadcast programming. The set features a DVI-HDTV interface (compatible with HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface) so you can establish a direct, premium-quality digital connection with your DTV receiver.P Samsung's DNIe (or Digital Natural Image engine) Video Enhancer augments all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, and picture detail, incorporating digital noise reduction to improve low-quality video sources. The set's Automatic Digital Format Conversion System is compatible with 1080i and 720p HDTV, 480P EDTV, and 480i SDTV formats. The system accepts any DTV, analog TV, or XGA computer RGB input. All video signals are converted to a progressively scanned 16:9 widescreen pixel count (1,280 x 720 resolution).P Film Mode 3:2 pulldown detection renders DVD movies in their native 24-frame format. Digital video mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.P Samsung's HD Ultra-Fine Pitch screen further improves picture clarity, especially when viewing higher-definition video sources like DVD and HDTV. The .155 mm screen brings out subtle image details otherwise unnoticeable on standard .72 mm pitch screens.P A total of 13 video inputs handles more than just about any set we've seen and includes the DVI input mentioned above, a PC input (D-Sub 15 pin, XGA), three each composite-video and S-video inputs, two high-definition component-video inputs, a DVD-specific input that handles 480i/p outputs, and two standard RF inputs (for VCRs and cable boxes).P You can assign picture-format sizes to each video input; the remote's Aspect button toggles through the set's five options: zoom 1, zoom 2, wide, panorama, and normal (the TV retains the last format setting for each input); and all onscreen information and menus appear in translucent overlays, letting you view video programs in the background while you consult the setup menus.P The 15-watt-per-channel stereo audio system benefits from BBE High Definition Sound with a five-band equalizer, which enhances the sound from both movies and music programs. The Sound Mode Preset feature gives you dynamic sound settings for whatever you're watching--choose from standard, music, movie, speech, or custom.P bWhat's in the Box/bbr TV, remote control, two AAA batteries, and a user's manual.

It's old technology now January 22, 2007

I bought this in Jan 05 and was pretty happy--blown away by the HD picture quality, superior DVD quality using the component inputs, but as others have stated, disappointed by the mediocre to poor standard broadcast quality. Now that I'm smarter, I see that: a) there is no ATSC (digital) tuner so I can't increase my limited selection of Comcast HD channels by receiving HD broadcasts over the air, b) no HDMI input capability, so I can't use one of the newer upscaling DVD players on the market. I would not buy this product today at any price.

A good "budget" DLP TV February 17, 2005
Electronix Junkie (Somerset, NJ)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I picked this TV up at Best Buy in November 2004, and I've been pretty pleased with it. It's easy to set up and lightweight (approx 70 pounds), and isn't as fragile as it appears.
br /
br /I'm running a DVI cable from a digital cable box to this TV, and the high-definition picture is spectacular, especially for sports. This TV only offers the 720p HD output, but I've had no difficulties with conversion from the 1080i signal. The analog signal (non-digital channels), unfortunately, is mediocre - and certain stations that have poor signals (think TBS) look terrible. It was explained to me that all DLP televisions have lousy analog pictures because they don't deal well with the 480i output that standard TV uses, but it doesn't matter why - just be aware that it is a problem, and if you want a very good picture across the board, this TV does not deliver it.
br /
br /I have a pretty high-end Sony DVD player and I'm a little disappointed in the picture from it. I'm using good component cables and used a calibration DVD to improve the picture, but I still see a lot of artifacts and fuzziness on most DVDs. However, I can't totally blame the TV - high-quality DVDs (The Lord of the Rings movies come to mind) do look good. I guess the TV just doesn't do much to improve an average or lousy signal like the 32 inch Sony tube TV I had before it.
br /
br /The setup is pretty easy to use, and the TV is packed with features (impressive PIP in particular). Menus are easy to navigate. My only criticism is that if you have several devices plugged in, going from one input to another can take a good 10 seconds as the TV's "reaction time" is very slow when you want to go from TV to DVD to X-Box, etc...
br /
br /Overall, it's a good, not great, TV. I'm happy I bought it - and if you can still find one (they're 3 generations old, having been replaced by the 5063 and now the 5085) at a clearance sale, it might be your best bet.
 AWESOME! January 14, 2005

I've had this TV for 2 weeks, I am very, very satisfied. HDTV channels are fantastic. I have been a little skeptical thinking that I was going to find something that will disappoint me, but it hasn't, it's one of the best purchases I've made in a while. I spent a lot of time looking at different models and types of TV, Plasma, LCD etc... This is half the price and it looks just as good, if noo better than all but the most expensive LCD or Plasma.
br /
br /It's also has a 3rd generation DLP chip, so you're getting the latest and greatest technology.
br /
br /One thing to note, if you buy this TV and think you might want to upgrade the DVD, Samsung also makes 2 models that have DVI out, there is a remarkable difference even from component input. They run from $200-$250, very reasonable and the results are WELL worth it!
br /
br /It will actually up-res the image to 1080i and process out the jaggies in the DVD. Simply amazing. These DVD players also have upgradable firmware. You download it from the Samsung site, burn it to a CD-R, pop it in and it upgrades the software! Easy to use, and well thought out.
br /
br /Do yourself a favor, go to a store and actually see it. I sent back a Sony Wega because of some problems, and I have to say nothing beats a Tubed set for contrast and clarity, but this TV comes pretty close.
br /
br /Oh yeah, it's pretty narrow too. About twice the depth of a Plasma, and less than half of a regular TV, AND it only wieghs 85 pounds, so most people can manage it themselves... My 40" Wega wieghed 300... BLAH!
br /
br /Ahhh 50" beautiful inches of Hi-Def goodness!

Original Review (2004) We were very eager to use this product. The picture looks fantastic and the DLP technology worked wonders on old fashioned non HDTV signals. In doing research I read a review or two concerning problems with Sony's lamp startup (ie it didnt) which swayed us to purchase this Samsung product. However, 3 weeks later, the same thing reviewers wrote about on the Sony LCD is happening with our TV. It intermittently will not light the lamp. In talking with an honest sales rep at a local store, he mentioned that there were a few returns on this issue. Heading back to return product - I guess I'll wait until version 2 comes out in the future.
br /
br /An update (11/05) - Its been a year and the new version I bought 3 months later and $400 cheaper is still functioning quite well.
