Samsung HLS-5679W 56" LED Engine 1080p DLP HDTV description
Introducing another breakthrough – the industry’s first LED-based rear projection HDTV. Trust Samsung to feature an LED engine that provides superior life, quicker start-up and amazing color reproduction. Thanks to Samsung’s Cinema Smooth™ light engine, this 56" Widescreen offers an astounding HDTV experience, delivering razorsharp pictures in 1080p. With a contrast ratio of up to 4,000:1, the HL-S5679W captures blacker blacks and crisper whites. And the ultra-quick DLP chip results in the fastest video performance of any HDTV. Best yet, Samsung’s superior technology ensures no image burn-in for a reliable, long-lasting picture.

Samsung's new LED Light Engine
Previous DLP HDTVs have used an Arc lamp and color wheel cobination as the source fo light and color for the DLP image. Samsung has replaced this arrangement with an LED light source that produces briliant light with less energy usage, a longer life, and produces better color reproduction by truly mixing red green and blue sources. The result is a more enviornmentally friedly DLP HDTV with better color reproduction and lower operating energy costs than other models can match. And, just as arc lamps in other DLP HDTVs could be easily replaced once they were used up, the LED light engine itself can also be swapped out after it's 20,000 hour lifespan to bring your DLP HDTV back to like-new condition.

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 fifth 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 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.

Samsung’s DNIe – Digital Natural Image Engine
Samsung’s exclusive Digital Natural Image engine makes the sharpest and clearest images possible, regardless of the profile of input signals. Five image processors and a six-times density enhancer ensure the best picture from any source. Now in its fourth generation, DNIe guarantees the truest colors and highest contrast, while virtually eliminating digital artifacts.

My Color Control You can get the pink tones, the green of the grass and the blue of the sky just you like, without affecting the other colors on the screen. The three major colors adjusted to perfectly fit your taste. Self expression meets display perfection.

Samsung’s Cinema Mode lets you see colors the way the director intended, by matching them more closely to production standards. This creates more accurate colors and natural skin tones when viewing Hollywood movies on your TV—the perfect setting when enjoying movies with the lights off.

Powered by Samsung’s Cinema Smooth technology, 3:2 Pull Down 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.

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.

Game Mode enhances dark areas, sharpens the picture, speeds up the image processing response and enhances the sounds of your games. Picture and sound quality optimized for the special needs of gaming systems at the touch of a button.

♥♥♥♥ This TV is Garbage and so is Samsung
I purchased this TV in April of 2007 and it was faulty from the start. The screen kept flickering pink every once in a while, until about 2 weeks ago the screen went dark. No picture, no color, just sound... whatever happened to TVs lasting like 15-20 years like the ones my parents used to own.

I called Samsung and they sent a request to their crappy middlemen service company. These idiot service people don't know anything about fixing TVs and they take their sweet time ordering parts from Samsung. It's been over a week and it could take another 2 more weeks.

I find this UNACCEPTABLE. Samsung's TVs are garbage and so is their service.
