Samsung's DNIe
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 HL-R5067W 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-R5067W'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 SamsungÕs 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)

BUT...now that I've finally seen the dreaded "rainbow effect," the picture is starting to drive me crazy, and I'm feeling the first stirrings of high ticket buyer's remorse.
When trying to decide between big screen technologies, I went with DLP because of the lower cost, as well as the fact that there was no burn-in risk (and much of my viewing is still in standard 4:3 ratio...I can't stand the squeezed and zoomed efforts to fill a 16:9 screen by artificial means).
I'd heard about the "rainbow effect" - where viewers see brightly colored rainbow flashes of color - but hadn't noticed the effect in the showrooms where I looked at DLP sets. To understand the "rainbow effect," you need to know that DLP sets - from any manufacturer - can really only display one color at a time across the entire screen. By changing these colored pictures quickly on the screen, your brain artificially perceives the intermediate colors. And the effect is great.
But if you move your eyes rapidly, looking from one part of the screen to the other, or if the picture on screen is moving wildly/rapidly, some viewers will see a trailing image in which the individual colors blink into existence. It happens as fast as a strobe light, and many (most?) people can't see it at all. But if you CAN see it, it may significantly reduce your viewing pleasure (my nice way of saying that you may throw your hands over your eyes and scream "RAINBOWS!!! AIYEEE!")
I watched this set for a week without seeing anything, then I watched "The Bourne Supremacy" which is filled with jolting camera work and super-fast cuts. I saw rainbows EVERYwhere. So my recommendation to anyone considering a DLP purchase is to find a way to spend some real time watching a real movie on the set before buying - not just 10 minutes in a showroom. In fact, take a copy of "The Bourne Supremacy." If you don't see rainbows watching this film, you're home free.
Summing up, I'd really say that this Samsung is a 5-star set, but if your eyes and brain pick up on the rainbow effect, you may only get 3-star enjoyment. So take the time to really watch a DLP picture before ruling out LCD or Plasma.
The only negative I've noticed: In dark areas that are out-of-focus, there tends to be a fair bit of video noise (pixelation). Those aren't parts that your eyes typically go to (my wife never noticed until I pointed it out), but on a 50" screen, it's more noticable. This isn't a defect - just a side effect of the digital processing. Other brands might handle it better, but at this bargain price for a 50" true HDTV, it's a minor picture flaw. The TV show "24" probably shows the most noise because of the camera work and heavy use of dark, out of focus backgrounds. Shows like "Without a Trace" don't blur the background as much and are completely crystal clear - amazing. Either way, this really is a minor point for me given the great bargain and overall amazing picture of this set.
Ultimately, for the cost of a comparable plasma (around $4000) I got:
- my Samsung DLP, that I consider to be equal in terms of picture quality
- an Onkyo progressive-scan DVD changer
- a beautiful HDTV "console" from Crate and Barrel
and ended up with a hefty amount of change left over on top of that. Hard to beat the value proposition.
Amazon.com's delivery service was excellent, by the way. No problems, communication was great, and I received the TV on a Saturday afternoon (no time off from work!) right on schedule just three and a half days after placing my order! Do yourself a favor, though, and DO understand Amazon.com's policy regarding returns, or lack thereof. The risk was worth the cost savings to me - it might not be for you.
