Date: 2006-02-24 Great picture, slim form I was in the market for a new TV after my 65inch Optoma crapped out on me. Came across this TV and after reading so many postivive reviews both here and elsewhere decided to buy it. I am very happy with my purchase. I am still getting used to the smaller screen size but its also a lot thinner then I imagined. Definately worth the price. Excellent colors and HDTV is great on this TV. Date: 2006-02-24 Terrific DLP This TV has been an absolute pleasure to purchase and use. I did the research, arrived at this Samsung and couldn't be happier with the purchase. The picture is outstanding, and the interface is very intuitive. I now have a Samsung HTiB connected with HDMI cables and an off-air HD antenna for locals with Dish network for other HD content. I can not stress how pleased I have been with this purchase. A couple of other thoughts for you: HD content -- Evaluate your options well. I jumped into the dish programming because I wanted all of the HD I could get my grubby paws on. Now I am paying 10 bucks a month for channels that I only use to show other people how cool HD is. The locals are what I watch most often. 720 vs 1080 -- Still thinking about upgrading to 1080? I wouldn't. You need to evaluate content here as well. How much of the programming you'll be receiving is really 1080? Bottom line - Get a Samsung, you'll thank yourself. Date: 2006-02-21 Incredible Picture I had purchased a Samsung HLR-5688 for my family room two months earlier and loved it, so I decided to get HD for my bedroom. Samsung was an easy choice. When I find a good thing I stay with it. I purchased my HLR-5667 from Amazon.com for $1999, which was several hundred $$$ less than any local stores such as Circuit City. It arrived in a few days. It's very lightweight and was easy to set up. I love it. Watching Hi-Def with this DLP set is as good as it gets. I find myself watching channels I never would have watched before, just because they're in HD. It's like being at an IMAX theater. Buying this bad boy was one of the best things I ever did. of course it took two tries for my cable company to connect correctly but I am now in TV heaven. This thing is awesome! Date: 2006-02-09 The Lag problem is fixed for video gamers If your Samsung was produced before june of 2005 - you can play video games such as the X-box but you must use the Component video inputs 1 or 2. This will reduce "lag". You cannot use the S-video or the Composite inputs...if you do you will experience lag. For new TV's that are built after June 2005 Samsung added a video game mode function to the TV that enhances video gameing. These TV's have no issue what so ever. So don't be agraid to buy this TV - it's the best DLP in it's class - perhaps in any class. I compared to Mitsubishi, JVC, and Toshiba. The Samsung won hands down. (I've read there have been many problems w/ the Toshiba projection TV's so be warned) Date: 2006-02-02 Simply AMAZING! We bought this 2 months ago and every time I turn it on I'm still muttering to myself AMAZING. The picture is bright with great color rendition. With HD (we have DISH satellite service) it is simply unbelievable the degree of clarity and detail. Using the latest Star Wars DVD as another example you'll see detail you never saw at the theater. We use an older progressive scan and I can't imagine it being any better! On the initial selection process we chose this over Sony based on side by side comparisons. We had a hard time deciding between this model and the 50" Samsung. We sit 15' away and we were afraid this TV would overwhelm the room. Bottomline, if you're facing the same situation, get the 56". Also I designed/built a new stand to accommodate the TV.. it's worked out great. The dimensions of that are 24"deep x 5' long x 26" high. It works and views great at that level. For those with shipping concers the delivery was great. They had a high end trucking service that brought the TV in , took it out the box and plugged it in to make sure it was OK. This is a great TV! The fit and finish are excellant, instructions clear cut and the item well packaged. Samsung is the new leader in my estimation! * Price is subject to change. |
