Samsung introduces a new generation digital TV that finally addresses high definition performance, compact design and affordability when compared to other flat panel designs. The HLN467W displays 46 inches of breathtaking widescreen viewing area that is elegantly framed in an ultra-light, thin-bezel cabinet. Weighing about 74 pounds, 40.6 inches wide and a mere 16.1 inches deep, the HLN467W fits almost anywhere. The secret to this engineering marvel - a compact digital projector powered by a single, postage stamp sized Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) that generates high definition video images.These video images are created by proprietary digital light processing (DLP) techniques, and then magnified by an advanced array of optics. Its fully digital video design processes combined with Samsung's new DNIe video enhancer optimizes all analog NTSC and wideband sources be it a VCR, DVD player, camcorder or TV programming from digital satellite receivers and HDTV tuners. The new DVI interface is compatible with the new generation cable, satellite and off-air high-definition receivers for a pure digital picture. Samsung's HLN467W will also accommodate a computer too with no burning or screen-aging issues to worry about. Hang it, mount it, rest it on a stand or wall unit, and simply move it anywhere, its size and weight offers more placement possibilities over any other TV design. Finally, Samsung lets you put TV in its place.

Do not buy Samsung
I purchased a Samsung television about eighteen months ago. Two weeks ago the picture became all distorted. Since my television warranty was through Circuit City I had no choice but to call a television repair person out to look at it. As soon as he walked in the door he knew what the issue was. He told me that the part would cost almost as much as the television and that his recommendation was to throw away the television and purchase another one. After doing some research I discovered that there were quite a few Samsung televisions that were going out and that the parts were on backorder for about a month. Samsung was also not helpful. I trying to discuss this with SamsungTweets on Twitter, but he blocked me when I asked why nobody called me like he said they would. The only other answer I got from Samsung was that I needed to take it to a service center; this is after I told them that a television repair person had looked at it. From what I can tell from looking on television repair forums, Samsung televisions look to be pretty flakey.

Very Nice TV!
I bought this through my wife's employee discount (She worked at Samsung until last week). I am very impressed with the picture quality though I am only getting over the air signals. Hooked up DVD via component video and the picture quality is impressive. You have many connection options (currently I do not even have that many components). I will try hooking up my PC. Did a lot of research (Extreme Tech and PCNet). I read that some people were disapointed w/ picture quality of regular cable or digital signals. I am not sure what they were expecting. As this is HD ready TV, it truely shines when watching HD broadcasts (according to all reviewers). Personally, I will wait until quality is improved on HD receivers before I go out and buy one- read many complaints of various devices on HD Net.

No complaints. No noticeable annoying fan noise as some had mentioned. Excellent design, slim and light, and outstanding picture quality. Very happy w. our choice.
