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)

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh sweet merciful Jeebus!, June 11, 2005

This review is from: Samsung HL-R5067W 50-Inch HD-Ready DLP TV (Electronics)
I purchased this set and am floored by the quality of the picture. I was a bit concerned about loss of contrast to ambient light but am pleased to discover almost no change in the way the picture looks day or night. If you buy this set be sure and spend an extra 150-200 bucks on an upconvert DVD player, the difference it will make on your current DVD collection will blow you away!
The set does a nice job with standard definition signals as well, always a concern with so little HD programming currently available.
I work in the home theater department of a major electronics retailer and did my homework before deciding which set I'd spend my money on. This set won hands down over any of the other currently available models. It looked great on the showroom floor but it looks even BETTER in my home.
My neighbor across the street has a 42 inch plasma and it's nice, but i can't wait to show him this 50 inch beauty! I think he'll be a little jealous, especially... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!, July 28, 2005
This review is from: Samsung HL-R5067W 50-Inch HD-Ready DLP TV (Electronics)
After months of research, including plasma, LCD, projection, DLP, we decided on the Samsung DLP. Amazon does a fantastic job of getting the product to you--they use a furniture delivery truck instead of just freight--and the men brought the set into the house, set it in place and removed all the packing. Set was in pristine condition and worked to perfection right out of the box. This Samsung has it's own digital cable tuner and the stations that are broadcasting in HDTV come in so clear it just blows you away! TV buying experience with happy ending thanks to Amazon and Samsung.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Picture, October 23, 2005
This review is from: Samsung HL-R5067W 50-Inch HD-Ready DLP TV (Electronics)
I've had this set for about 5 months now, and am extremely pleased with it. The picture is great for DVDs (progressive scan) and for HDTV--we get a number of channels over the air, using a standard antenna, and cannot imagine going back to normal TV. Analog cable is okay, but I wouldn't buy an HD TV if that was the bulk of what I watched.

When the TV was shipped, there was a slight blemish on the screen; I'm not sure if that occured during shipping or was a manufacturing defect. In any case, Samsung offers 1 year *in home* service, and they sent a person to look at it, ordered a full replacement screen, and returned to install it in a week. I watched them replace the part, and the TV now looks and works as good as new.
