| The revolutionary new LED system available on Samsung DLP HDTVs offers better color, and energy efficiency. |
LED (Light Emitting Diode) for modern color realization
Samsung’s new LED light engine replaces the arc lamp & color wheel design of previous DLP HDTVs, and realizes beautiful color. LED will last the life of the TV. Samsung LED DLP TVs eliminate the need to replace the consumable lamps every few years, and thus have less impact on the environment and on one’s wallet. Samsung’s LED light engine makes possible an Ultra-Wide Color Gamut that exceeds the NTSC defined color space spec for richer color than you’ve seen before on TV. Samsung DLP HDTVs with an LED engine are more energy efficient than similar sized flat panel displays, and the lack of a moving color whell in the design means they perform with less noise than any previous DLP HDTV design.

Cinema Smooth Light Engine
Samsung is the worldwide leader in creating light engines that harness DLP HDTV technology from Texas Instruments. Samsung’s Cinema Smooth light engine brings together the right optics, electronic circuitry and replaceable light source to create a brilliant picture that’s more lifelike and much closer to film. Now in its sixth year of evolution, Samsung’s Cinema Smooth light engine delivers crisp, 1080p High Definition resolution with high contrast and brightness, defined edges and sharp detail.
Next Generation DLP Chips from Texas Instruments
Samsung employs a Texas Instruments DLP chip that is comprised of millions of microscopic mirrors. The DLP chip is faster than any other HDTV technology, with the mirrors switching on & off 15,000 times a second to deliver a razor-sharp picture for fast moving images. When combined with Samsung’s new Cinema Smooth light engine, the result is a crisp, bright picture with deep, rich colors that’s closer to film.

User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star 15 months only
This TV was fine for 15 months, and then the red led or something to that effect failed today so we now have a blue-green tv. Of course amazon only has a 30 day warranty and samsung only has a 365 day warranty (unless you pay extra)so we are stuck. I will post again if the local repair facility is able to fix it in a short and cost effective manner.
If not, my advice is to not buy from samsung.
4 Stars Comparing Apples WITH apples !
I patiently did the Homework. The Comments were and are the best idea for consumers who want the peace of mind they made the Best Choice . Customer comments, such as “buy the Next size up”, because the stations transmit smaller images than the screen size YOU purchased,
ex: 56″ screen displays a 46″ in the 4:3 transmission on cable networks.
Amazon was a Good first time experience. Research/ Buying/Delivery and Product is just what you should expect. I purchased the Samsung Surrond to compliment the Large Screen, and if you want to save more time and money, purchase the Optical and HDMI Cables OnLine as well, the Local dealers Are more expensive , including the delivery charge (if there is one online from Amazon). Consumer Reports substantiated my homework as well in recent issues. Thank You Amazon & Samsung .
3 Stars help….picture color is all over the place
I have owned this model for just five months with very limited use. Recently the picture wants to continually change hue from an orange tint to yellow, back to green.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to tweak the settings to cure this problem, or is it beyond that?
When playing a blu-ray it appears fine and then the general tv(cable) can not hold a steady color. On occasion the screen goes totally black for five seconds or so before it comes back.
I will take any suggestions you can offer.
5 Stars Samsung DLP TV is Well Worth It
I’m not a real technical person, so I’ll just cut to the chase. I wish I’d purchased this TV a long time ago. The channels that are broadcast in HD are fantastic and even the non-HD channels look so much better than my old TV. If you watch DVDs or Blu-Ray movies or have a PS3, you’ll be amazed. I’m seeing and hearing things on my PS3 games that I never even noticed before. And if you’re a sports fan, you won’t be sorry. Basketball, baseball, golf, hockey, ESPN, SportsCenter, etc. all look crystal clear. I can’t wait until football season starts. My only regret is that I wasn’t able to get the 61″ for a couple hundred dollars more due to space limitations. When I added a surround system to this TV, the package was complete.
5 Stars Fantastic HDTV
I’ve had this TV for just over a year now. All I can say is that if you can still find one at any kind of reasonable price, buy it. This is very possibly the best technology/electronics purchase I’ve ever made (and I’ve made a lot more than a few).
The picture on this thing is just tremendous. One of the outstanding features of it is how great regular, standard-def channels look on it…particularly compared to some I’ve seen on some LCDs and plasmas. The HD is flat-out stunning. A bonus is its’ very low max power consumption of 230 watts. There are smaller screen plasmas out there that take 500 – 550 watts. No thanks — I live in Ohio where electricity is expensive.
I have an unusual shaped den that has kind of a largish niche in one wall, so I didn’t need a flat panel for (presumably) space-saving purposes. This thing is still only about 11 inches deep. An old-style 26″ tube set is probably a lot thicker than this.
After I had it for a month or two and realized it was the best TV I’d ever owned (and was definitely a keeper), I bought two cabinets to put on either side to hold the DVD player, TIVO, etc. and then had a cabinet maker make a custom stand for the TV that matched the side piers. Sweet.
