Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Samsung's high-definition-ready HL-P5685W offers a broad, 56-inch screen in a 16:9 aspect ratio and a unique pedestal mount whose lightweight design and slim stature lets it fit where other stands won't. But it offers more than just quantity of screen: it's also engineered for quality.

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 4 HD light engine and advanced optic enhancements with a single, .8-inch Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) capable of generating high-definition video images with film-like resolution, deep blacks, and robust colors. Samsung's Cinema Smooth light engine 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.

The HL-P5685W's automatic digital-format conversion system converts any input (whether DTV, analog TV, or XGA computer sources at 1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i) to a progressive, 16:9 widescreen image with a 1,280 x 720 pixel count. 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 permits hookup with an external device such as a surround-sound receiver.

A 15-watts-per-channel (x2) audio system with a pair of 2-way 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, pedestal mount, remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, and warranty information.

This review is from: Samsung HLP5685W HDTV-Ready DLP Rear-Projection TV (Electronics)
If you are looking for an HD-Ready TV, let me say that i was blown away by this one! I'd been searching for an HDTV for almost a year and a half, and when I found this one, i knew the search was over! Not only was i looking for a TV that would be "top of the line" in its technology, ablilities/features (it even has a PC input for computer link-up!), and most importantly its picture an sound quality, i also wanted a TV that would compliment any modern-looking room or apartment with a great looking, modern design. When I got this TV it not only had everything i was looking for in its features and abilities, it was gloriously beautiful in every way! With its stunning picture and design, this HDTV truly brings the "television set" into the 21st century in a big way! This one comes stock with its own bragging rights! I would give this one 6 stars if I could. You can't go wrong with this one my friend, its absolutely amazing!

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPER, December 21, 2006
This review is from: Samsung HLP5685W HDTV-Ready DLP Rear-Projection TV (Electronics)
I HAVE HAD THIS HDTV FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF NOW, I SEARCHED ALL THE ELECTRONIC STORES FOR WEEKS BEFORE I DECIDED ON THIS ONE. LET ME TELL YOU ,YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A MORE CLEARER PICTURE IN A PLASMA TV. AS A MATTER OF FACT THE STORE I BOUGHT IT FROM, IT WAS SETTING RIGHT BESIDE A PLASMA SET AND I COULD NOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PICTURES. IT IS ALSO A BEAUTIFUL TV, IT REALLY MAKES A STATEMENT WHEN PEOPLE COME IN AND SEE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. IF YOU WANT A WORRY FREE HD EXPERIENCE, AND ONE THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT AND ALSO NOT PAY THE PLASMA PRICES, ESPECIALLY FOR A 52 INCH WIDE SCREEN HD , LOOK NO FURTHER
