Get the sharpest and clearest images possible from HD and standard TV and your favorite DVD movies with the 67-inch Samsung HL-R6768W DLP projection TV. This relatively lightweight TV weighs less than 73 pounds and measures just 14 inches deep, helping you to avoid sacrificing precious real estate in your home. It has a built-in analog/digital (NTSC/ATSC) tuner that will receive free over-the-air HDTV signals and is Digital Cable Ready, so you can enjoy digital cable without an additional box or remote. It also offers a good range of connections for DVD, DTV, PC, HDTV sources.

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 HL-R6768W 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 HL-R6768W'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 Samsung's 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
• Monitor and Sound Out (RCA): 1 rear
• Component Video Input (Smart Input): 2 rear (480i,480p,720p,1080i)
• DVI Audio In: 1 (rear)
• HDMI: 2 (rear)
• PC In (D-Sub 16-pin): 1 (rear)
• Monitor: 1 (rear)
• Firewire (IEEE1394): 2 (rear)
• POD Slot (CableCARD): 1 rear
• AnyNet (Mini Jack): 1 rear

• TV Guide On Screen interactive program guide provides listings for cable-ready, cable box, digital cable and over-the-air broadcasts directly on your TV.
• Five pre-set aspect ratio modes--Normal, Wide, Panorama, Zoom 1 and Zoom 2--stretch your image to fill the screen naturally and with less distortion.
• For the times when digital cable features require a set-top box, such as Video-On-Demand, you can connect that box to a second input.
• 1-year warranty for parts and labor

1.0 out of 5 stars Great picture at first, but there are issues with Samsung DLPs, December 29, 2007

This review is from: Samsung HLR6768W 67 Inch Table Top DLP (Electronics)

When it works the picture quality is outstanding but the sound quality is poor for a tv that cost $3500 when purchased. My tv developed a dark bar on the left side of the screen after 15 months (out of warranty). It turns out that this is a known issue these tv's and well documented in several online forums. It seems there is some glue that secures small mirrors in the unit that fails causing the mirrors to move. This causes the "shadow" issue along the sides of the screen. It is clearly a design flaw but Samsung will not acknowledge it. The result is a very expensive repair. I do not recommend this TV and personally will never buy anything Samsung again because of the way I was treated by thier customer service.

1.0 out of 5 stars Problems with Samsung DLP television, February 26, 2006

This review is from: Samsung HLR6768W 67 Inch Table Top DLP (Electronics)

I enjoyed my Samsung HLP6163W 61 inch DLP television until it failed fourteen months after purchase and two months after expiration of the Samsung warranty. The "light engine" failed. Repair, with labor and tax is approximately $1900-- nearly half of the original purchase price of the television. Take the time to review internet forums on Samsung DLP televisions. This type of failure appears to be very common.

I have contacted Samsung corporation about warranty extension and repair. They refuse to even consider my request, despite the fact that many people on Samsung DLP internet forums feel Samsung knew during the manufacturing of this product it would experience early extensive failure. There is even talk of class action lawsuits. Hey, it is two months out of warranty, so tough luck, customers.

I now am in possession of high priced inoperable junk. My next television? A Sony!

This review is from: Samsung HLR6768W 67 Inch Table Top DLP (Electronics)

I have the 61" Samsung DLP. I'm a gamer (Xbox 360) so the LCD projection TV was not for me. LCD's tend to have blurry imaging during high on-screen action.

This DLP is awesome. Most info I read online referred to a "rainbow" effect as a DLP drawback. If you're getting a Generation 3 or later DLP from Samsung (actually Texas Instruments) then you don't experience the rainbow effect.

My 61" is only 780P and is absolutely beautiful - this model is 1080P which is true HD so I'm sure it's even better.

One note - after much reading about both DLP's and LCD's I wouldn't buy either type of TV without the additional 3 year warranty. I don't normally buy extended warranties but I did with this TV. I've read in many reports that the bulbs go out about every 3 years (with normal use) so the additional 3 year warranty (total of 4 years) will be about the same cost as your first bulb replacement.

I was torn between choosing this model and the Sony LCD. I'm very satisfied with my decision. DLP has brighter brights and darker darks than the LCD models.
