The secret to this DLP (Digital Light Processing) projection set's quality is its Emmy-winning technology from Texas Instruments. Samsung has combined its proprietary Cinema Smooth Gen-5 HD light engine and advanced optic enhancements with a single, 0.55-inch digital micromirror device (DMD) capable of generating high-definition video images with film-like resolution, deep blacks, and robust colors. Cinema Smooth enhances brightness while ensuring an astonishing 2,500:1 contrast ratio.
Texas Instruments' DMD panel is immune to the factors that can cause other displays to deteriorate with use, imparting a longer life expectancy than that of cathode ray tube (CRT) sets, plasma display panels, and liquid crystal display systems (LCD, LCoS, HTPS). A host of advanced digital interfaces and video inputs make non-issues of connectivity challenges and future proofing.
A 3D Y/C digital comb filter dramatically reduces image-edge artifacts while improving transition detail, and the set's HD ultra-fine-pitch (.155 mm) screen further clarifies images, especially when you're viewing high-resolution sources like DVD and HDTV.
Samsung's Cinema Smooth Film Mode 3:2 Pull Down correction circuitry addresses digital distortion in 480i (interlaced) video signals generated from 24 frames-per-second film. Finally, Samsung DNIe video enhancer (Digital Natural Image engine) works with all analog NTSC and wideband video signals for improvements in contrast, white level, and picture detail, incorporating digital noise reduction to improve lower-quality sources.
The set offers digital-video inputs in 2 formats. A DVI-HDTV interface with HDCP copy protection permits all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with an analog interface, and an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) jack channels both digital audio and video to simplify connections with newer DTV set-top boxes and DVD players by reducing hookups to just a single cable and plug.
Other inputs include dual HDTV component-video inputs (480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i) for high-definition satellite receivers, HDTV tuners, and HD cable boxes with component video outputs (Y, Pb, Pr); 3 each composite- and S-video inputs; and 2 RF coaxial inputs for antennas or older VCRs or cable boxes. An audio/video output--including an optical digital-audio output for passing Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround programs to a compatible AV receiver--simplifies hookup with external devices.
A 15-watts-per-channel (x2) audio system with a pair of speakers comes with built-in SRS TruSurround XT, which simulates compelling surround sound through any stereo playback system, including headphones and the TV's speakers.
Last but far from least, onboard 2-tuner PIP with side-by-side split-screen viewing grants convenient simultaneous viewing of 2 TV programs, while a supplied universal remote control permits control of the TV, a DVD player, a VCR, and a tuner/surround receiver.
What's in the Box
TV, remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, an AnyNet cable, and warranty information.
When it comes to widescreen TV, DLP rear projeection is an extremely wise choice. Its image is outstanding and there's no burn-through effect from broadcast TV. It's not a flat TV but at 13 inches deep, it rests comfortably on most tabletops. Considering performance and value, this HDTV compatible set is worth a serious look. It is Digital Cable Ready (DCR) and includes CableCARD, which means you won't need a set-top box to enjoy basic digital cable reception (please check whether your cable TV provider offers this service). With the proper antenna, the built-in analog/digital ( NTSC / ATSC ) tuner will receive free over-the-air HDTV signals (J&R offers a selection from TERK). Quiet operation for great sound enjoyment from built-in speakers. 1280 x 720p Pixel Native Resolution for natural HDTV / 1280 x 720p Digital Format Converter For All Inputs Built-In Analog/Digital (NTSC/ATSC) 181-Channel Tuner DNIe Crystal-Clear Picture - No Screen Aging Or Burn-In Effects For Worry-Free Enjoyment 30-Watt Stereo Audio System With SRS TruSurround XT (for maximum 5.1 channel home-theater surround sound enjoyment, we suggest a HTIB audio system as an excellent option) 2000 - 1 Contrast-Ratio Lamp Life - About 5000 Hours (User replaceable lamp) 3D Y/C Digital Comb Filter 2-Tuner Picture-In-Picture (PIP) With Side-By-Side Split Screen 3 Preset Picture Modes (Standard, Cinema, Dynamic) 5 Preset Audio Modes (Sports, Movies, Music, Speech, and Custom) Picture Format Size Adjustment Samsung Proprietary Anynet Network Control Solution Unit Size - 43.1 W x 32.0 H x 13.3 D / Weight - 69.4 lbs. 1-Year Parts And Labor Warranty (Including Lamp) With In-Home Service And Samsung Toll-Free Telephone Support (Optional RepairMaster available)
