Samsung's revolutionary DNle™ (click for demo) technology offers digital perfection in naturally presented, crystal-clear images that uncover even the most minute detail. |
 | Motion Optimizer
Fast-moving images are optimized to produce more natural-looking motion, thus reducing video noise or blurring. |
 | Contrast Enhancer
Brightness and contrast levels are enhanced for deeper, richer blacks with greater detail and more natural whites. |
 | Color Optimizer
Colors are reproduced with a more lifelike realism, whites are more accurate, and skin tones are given a more natural hue. |
 | Detail Enhancer
DNIe analyzes video signal elements to produce sharper detail, clearer image separation, and more natural edge transition. | DLP (which stands for Digital Light Processing) uses an optical semiconductor to recreate source material with a fidelity analog systems can't match. While other technologies lose a certain amount of light in transit, the microscopic mirrors in a DLP projection system bring more light from lamp to screen. It also features better color uniformity over time--no burn-in, screen aging or color-shifting possible. It's the leading display technology for products like small portable conference room projectors and professional venue entertainment systems. This DLP set employs the latest Digital Micromirror Devices (DMD), which have switching speeds twice as fast as previous generation microdisplays and up to 1,000 times faster than competing technologies. When combined with Samsung's new Cinema Smooth 720p light engine, the result is a crisp, bright picture with deep, rich colors that are closer to film. The HLR5667W features a widescreen picture aspect ratio (16:9; standard TVs have a 4:3 aspect ratio), which is the ideal screen format for viewing widescreen video from DVD players and the growing availability of broadcast programming off digital HDTV tuners (HD content is always widescreen), cable boxes and satellite receivers. The HLR5667W's 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time, to reduce dramatically edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. Powered by Samsungs Cinema Smooth technology, the 3:2 pulldown cinema video processing feature detects and compensates film--which is shot at 24 frames per second (fps) compared with video's 30 fps rate--to video for a smooth theater-like experience at home. The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The Automatic Digital Format Conversion System is compatible with 1080i and 720p HDTV formats, 480p EDTV and 480i SDTV formats. This system will accept any DTV, analog TV, or XGA computer RGB input. All video signals are converted to a 16:9 wide-screen pixel count (1280 x 720) progressive display for flicker-free images. The 30-watt stereo audio system (two 15-watt speakers) delivers ample sound for sports and movies. It features the following video and audio connections: - AV in (RCA): 3 (1 side, 2 rear)
- S-Video In: 3 (1 side, 2 rear)
- RF In: 2

 It ROCKS! You need this TV! July 2, 2005
40 out of 45 found this review helpful
Like the previous review says, your jaw will drop. The picture on this TV is clear, bright and lifelike, and the images are eye-popping. DVD's are amazing, even in 480P. I'm using the DirecTV HD TiVo as my satellite source, and an over-the-air antenna for local HD channels. DirecTV's HD choices are limited, but the picture on those (compressed) channels is beautiful. But the piece-de-resistance is the non-compressed local HDTV broadcasts. Just amazing. Our local CBS affiliate does their news in HD, and it makes the boring local news riveting just for the picture. Getting strong signals from an antenna can be challenging, but it's worth it if you can do it.
The set has more options than you'll ever need, but I particularly like the surround-sound simulation mode that plays a simulated 5.1 image over the set's 2 speakers. It actually creates sounds that seems to come from behind you. Of course, you can hook it up to your home theater for the real thing (over an optical connection).
I have noticed no rainbow effects that some say appear on DLP's, and the picture is plenty bright, even in my room that has a wall of windows behind me and skylights above me.
In short, if you can afford this TV, you shouldn't hestitate to buy it. Amazon has a great sale on it now (July 2005), so it's even less painful. Besides, amortize it over the 10-15 years you'll enjoy this TV, and it's a bargain.

Just got this TV to replace my 60 inch Sony CRT Projection. This Samsung is AWESOME. I am speechless. Once I hooked up the HDTV cable box my jaw dropped. Watching anything HD becomes an experience!
TV has plenty of features. However, the one feature I wish it had was to make the TV speakers the stereo's center channel. Being such a thin TV you cannot rest the center channel on top as I did with my CRT Projection.
No big deal though.
If you can come up with the scratch for a TV like this, you won't be let down!
The Lag problem is fixed for video gamers February 9, 2006

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)
GREAT T.V. August 26, 2005

I probably spent 60 hours researching this TV. During my research I learned about a few possible downsides; the DLP chip is not the newest, greatest version. Picture quality when going through a digital cable box, in the lower 100 channels is not as good as higher numbered channels or when the cable is connected directly. The PIP controls are awkward. But the pros far outweighed the cons. I ordered the set.
The picture, especially in HIDEF is unbelievable. If you like PIP you can actually watch the equivalent of two 32" simultaneously.
One thing I really like about DLP is that there is no worry about picture degradation or burn in. I also own a LCD TV. That sets owners manual states not to watch shows that don't fill the whole screen more then 10% of the time. I don't like having to "zoom" pictures to fill the screen. With the HLR56687W, it is a non-issue. Those shows that don't fill the entire screen are still plenty big, and because of the design of the TV I usually don't even notice that they are not wide format.
Amazon.com was $500 less then Circuit City on this set. Also Amazon.com only charged $149 for delivery and setup. Almost all the other internet sites selling this set wanted between $215 and $300 for delivery "to the door only".
If you are looking for a large screen TV, BUY THIS SET, you will not be sorry!
Loving this tv! October 8, 2005

Had it for about two weeks now. Comcast HDTV looks AWESOME, regular digital channels look good too. Sorry, haven't tried DVDs yet but I'm sure they will look great as well. The audio is excellent as well. I'm not experiencing any of the "rainbow effects" or audio-video synch problems described in some other reviews.
Especially happy with the complete lack of glare on this tv! It faces a couple of big windows but we still get a bright, beautiful picture during the day.
If you need a wide viewing angle on your tv or want to mount it on a wall, go with plasma instead. If not, I would highly recommend this tv.
