Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Thanks to a new, long-lasting LED light engine, the full HD (1920 x 1080p) picture of the HL-T6189S DLP HDTV will last as long as the set. An ultra-thin, piano-black bezel around the 61" screen lets you enjoy more screen and less frame. Its slim depth, light weight and hidden speaker system allow the set to fit where others won't. Samsung Cinema Smooth light engine delivers the widest range of brilliant colors, while a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio renders every picture in perfect detail, from the darkest darks to brightest whites, and every tone in between. SRS TruSurround XT delivers sound that is clear and full. The HLT generation of Samsung DLP HDTVs are capable of displaying future 3D games, movies, and other programming via 3D compatible glasses and hardware.

LED (Light Emitting Diode) for modern color realization
Samsung's new LED light engine replaces the arc lamp & color wheel design of previous DLP HDTVs, and realizes beautiful color. LED will last the life of the TV. Samsung LED DLP TVs eliminate the need to replace the consumable lamps every few years, and thus have less impact on the environment and on one’s wallet. Samsung's LED light engine makes possible an Ultra-Wide Color Gamut that exceeds the NTSC defined color space spec for richer color than you've seen before on TV. Samsung DLP HDTVs with an LED engine are more energy efficient than similar sized flat panel displays, and the lack of a moving color whell in the design means they perform with less noise than any previous DLP HDTV design.

10,000:1 contrast ratio   Two of the most important factors in overall picture quality contrast and brightness achieve new heights by capturing blacker blacks and crisper whites.   Cinema Smooth Light Engine   Samsung Cinema Smooth light engine is the culmination of years of industry-leading research and development. It releases the maximum power of the new generation of DMD microdisplays for the most film-like picture. It creates an image with no visible pixel structure and accurate shading and better low-light detail.   My Color Control   You can get the pink tones, the green of the grass and the blue of the sky just the way you like, without affecting the other colors on the screen. The three major colors can be adjusted to perfectly fit your taste. Self expression meets display perfection.   Audio Wattage   Get quality sound aided by 10W x 2 audio output. An auto volume leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing to minimize static sound bursts.   Next Generation DLP Chips from Texas Instruments   DLP TV by Samsung employs a Texas Instrument DLP chip that is comprised of millions of microscopic mirrors. The DLP chip is faster than any HDTV technology, with the mirrors switching on & off 15,000 times a second to deliver a razor-sharp picture for fast moving images. When combined with Samsung new Cinema Smooth light engine, the result is a crisp, bright picture with deep, rich colors that's closer to film.

Samsung DNle - Digital Natural Image engine   Samsung exclusive Digital Natural Image engine makes the sharpest and clearest images possible, regardless of the profile of input signals. Five image processors and a six-times density enhancer ensure the best picture from any source. DNle guarantees the truest colors and highest contrast.   SRS TruSurround XT   Samsung HDTVs are equipped with the best that technology can offer in sound quality. Even when viewing regular broadcasts, our 2 speaker surround sound makes you feel as if the theatre has been brought to your living room.   Parental Control   Samsung HDTVs come equipped with a V-Chip which enables parental control for channel and program blocking for all TV programs that incorporate the rating code signal.   PC Compatible   A Samsung HDTV using DLP technology can also function as a high quality WUXGA PC monitor   New Slim Depth   With it’s new slimmer design, your options on where to place your Samsung DLP HDTV have become much broader.   3 HDMI inputs   Three HDMI inputs address both pure digital audio and video performance and simplifies connections from the new generation set-top boxes and DVD players by reducing cable connections to one cable and plug. 1080p format is accepted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning!, June 23, 2007

By

This review is from: Samsung HLT6189S 61-Inch Slim LED Engine 1080p DLP HDTV (Electronics)

At first when I got the TV hooked up I was a tad disappointed, but being a large tv owner in the past I was certain that after I was able to go through the various options and configurations, everything would be alright. And boy was it! This tv delivers a practically perfect HD picture. Marry it with an HD DVD player (I've got the XA2) or even the new Sony Blu-ray BDP-300 and the picture one gets is nothing short of brilliant. It still has some of the drawbacks of DLP, namely the confined viewing angle, but if you're into watching movies and tv programming from a more straight on angle, the Samsung blows LCD and Plasma out of the water. It's obviously not as "flat", but for the price, and the asthetic look, the Samsung LED DLP is impossible to beat... that and fully realized black levels really shred the competition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome tv, August 13, 2007

This review is from: Samsung HLT6189S 61-Inch Slim LED Engine 1080p DLP HDTV (Electronics)

This is not my first HD tv set, but this one has been awesome right from the beginning. I have been using it for > 1 month and it's outpaced my expectations.

HD-DVD (toshiba hd-xa2 with deepcolor) and the ps3 blu-ray (also deep color) as well as regular sources all look stunning.

Still haven't used the pc gaming 3d mode yet (and unsure if I ever will) but it's nice that it's available.

Also using the HD-DVD of digital video essentials, it was possible to tune it to pretty close (like 95% of the way), to an ISF level 1 calibration, close enough for now.

I also like the system turning on quicker.

My previous tv was a toshiba 720p dlp rear projector, I was able to see rainbows sometimes (most times not), but I was also able to 'force' myself to see them. With this set, I have tried to force myself to see the rainbows but been unable to see them so far.

All in all, a great product.

This review is from: Samsung HLT6189S 61-Inch Slim LED Engine 1080p DLP HDTV (Electronics)

This DLP HDTV has better picture and more user options than any on the market. After the initial setup screen and channel search it displayed the first HD channel and it's a good thing that I was sitting down, I could not take my eyes off of it. Crystal clear display! There were three of us in the room and we all said, WOW! The big pluses of this TV are:
1. Never have to replace any bulbs ($300.00/bulb) it's all LED.
2. No color wheel to cause any rainbow effect.
3. The latest HDMI 1.3 interface, supports the highest resolution.
4. Bluetooth enabled to support various devices.
