Samsung TV's with DLP technology from Texas Instruments take HDTV to a higher level. Digital Light Processing (DLP) is a technology where the image is created by microscopically small mirrors. The rapid repositioning of the mirrors allows variation in the intensity of the light reflected through the lens, creating shades of grey in addition to black&white. Brilliant Color technology provides a brightness increase in non-primary colors and boosts overall color intensity. Samsung's Cinema Smooth 1080p light engine provides a smooth film-like image with up to 10,000:1 contrast ratio. The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. Bring the theater home, and be assured of a quality visual experience in this 56-inch widescreen model. 2-HDMI Input (High Definition Multimedia Interface) / 2-Component Video Inputs / 2 x A/V Composite Inputs And 2 S-Video Inputs USB 1.1 / PC (RGB) input / IEEE 1394 Dimensions - Width 50.9 x Height 35.7 x Depth 16.3 inches Weight - 68.4 pounds

Summary: Loved it for the whole 16 months that it worked
Comment: Amazing tv.... while it worked. After 16 months my wife and I were watching The Office (in HD of course) and the screen turned into a blocky green mess for a split second and shut off completely. Samsung was nice enough to extend the warranty AFTER I had the local recommended repairmen say that he had seen a thousand of these models with the same problems. I called Samsung and insisted that they should own up to their manufacturing defects and they did (make sure you get to the second line of their customer service -the "ECR", they can do a lot more to help you). We have had a total of 3 seperate repair visits (very nice guys) and numerous parts ordered over the course of a month - This would of cost way more than the actual cost of the tv when it was new if I had paid out of my own pocket. They have replaced every internal part of the tv and it still is useless. It is now looking as if Samsung will be purchasing us a new tv. If it still worked and there were not countless other internet forums devoted to Samsungs faulty DLP, then I would give this product a 5 start rating. A 5 star product for the first year, then it might as well be a 56" brick. One star from me because I cannot give it a negative score.

Summary: Dont buy samsung TV
Comment: We purchased the Samsung DLP TV about 9 months back. The TV failed in first week of Feb 2008. Samsung "certified" field service technician worked on the TV for 6 weeks, bringing 1 part every week to change & test. He had no idea what was wrong. Then he said the TV had to be replaced since it was under warranty. Then Samsung didn't approve a TV replacement for many days after this. Once they finally approved the replacement, they did not commit to delivering the replacement TV in anytime soon. Many calls to customer service over several weeks got the same response - "we dont know when we can deliver the TV & we cant do anything about it". I am still waiting for the replacement TV and it has been nearly 2 months since the DLP TV failed.

Summary: Samsung is great
Comment: It's been a year and I am still in awe when I watch High Def stations from Dish Network. Great picture, Great size, slim not bulkey . . . Great Value especially at the current price. You get a lot more for your money with DLP. Bought another Samsung LCD for the bedroom and a flat panel monitor for my computer as a result.
