 | Motion Optimizer

 | 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)

Worst TV I've ever owned, 2010-02-15
I bought one in late 2005 and it started going bad by early 2009. (Warrenty was only 1 year.) This was my first HD, largest and most expensive TV I'd ever purchased. Initially I was thrilled with the picture, the sound was fine. Until the component input suddenly started showing green bars across the screen. All other inputs did the same except for the HDMI. Instead, when the TV is turned on with HDMI, it plays normally for anywhere from 5 to 25 seconds. Then the picture freezes for a few seconds, goes black for a few more and then plays again, only to repeat the process. The manual says to unplug the TV for 30 seconds if it is behaving erratically. This fixed the problem for HDMI if we did it everytime we turned on the TV. Recently, even that isn't working. I've seen other complaints of similar behavior online. Usually the issue is identified as a bad video board that runs ~$800. Every other TV I've ever purchased has lasted at least 15 years. Granted, those were CRT, but only three and a half years for a $2000+ TV is robbery. I'm shopping for another TV but it won't be a Samsung.
COMPLETE JUNK, 2009-01-06
I have owned this Samsung DLP for 22 months. The TV has been inoperable for 20 of those months, starting from the day it came out of the box. Samsung customer service and "executive" customer service is a total joke. I have gone through 2 authorized repair companies, and have now proceeded to the State Attorney Generals office. I would not buy rubber dog poop with the Samsung logo!
One star rating because I cannot submit a "NO STAR" rating.
Buy Samsung...Win a Free Gambling Excursion!, 2008-05-21
Purchasing Samsung electronics means you're paying the company to go gambling! Not the fun kind, the expensive (losing) kind. If you get lucky, you get a piece of equipment that works as promised. If you don't...well, here's the story.
I purchased this television for around $2,000 two and a half years ago. It's sitting upstairs and the repairman says it will cost between $800-$1200 to fix it.
The light didn't burn out. The Light Engine did. Replacing the entire "insides" of this television is the only way to fix it. Tried the lamp, the ballast and even replaced the Color Wheel. Nope. It's really broken.
Of course, it's out of warranty. Samsung service (direct quote) "Have a Great Day!"
Now, I was just as enthused as everyone else here. I wonder how many would drop by to tell us "the rest of the story." You know, the ending.
I will probably hang on to this for another few years, if it lasts that long with entirely new internals. Next time, I think I will buy an LCD. It will not be a Samsung.
I have two Samsung LCD monitors. One has the very common flaw of an entire horizontal row of L-E-D's burned out. The other works just fine.
But when quality control means you can expect 1 out of 2 identical products to fail, well, that's not shopping, it's gambling.
Great picture, unreliable, 2009-02-02
I have had this product for just about 3 years. The picture was great for the first two years and then it started showing a garbled input from certain sources. I found out that it was any SD signal (SNES, PS2, Analog channels). I decided to live with that. A few months later it started freezing and blacking out while I was watching TV or playing video games (different inputs). I loved this tv when I got it but I expect electronics to last more than 3 years.
My recommendation is not to buy the extended warranty but buy a TV that the manufacture is willing to warranty for more than a year.
Total Ripoff!, 2009-07-08
I've owned this set since 2005 and it gave good service until last week when it completely died. I replaced the dlp lamp yesterday ($144 plus my time) and it worked all evening. This morning, dead again. Now I'm thinking it needs a color wheel and/or ballast replacement - there are lots of possibilities - and even then, no guarantee that it will work or work for long.
There are lots of articles on the internet about defective Samsung dlp TVs and at least one class action lawsuit. Mine is a common complaint and there are no really good fixes. There is lots of parts replacement advice, though, and any number of other fixes to try and time to waste.
I have to decide whether to keep pouring money into this pit or call it a day and give up. I hate to spend $600/year on TVs plus repairs but I think that's what I'll end up doing. I'll just have to accept that I bought a TV with many inherent and documents defects, buy another one and go on with my life. There's only so much of it that I will dedicate to bad TVs.
I will never again buy any Samsung product. This TV has illustrated the essence of a throw-away consumer society and a screw-the-consumer attitude. Next time (and probably this week) Panasonic is going to get my money... and I WILL buy the extended warranty.
Two weeks ago I would have said this has been a satisfactory TV. Now it appears that I have to replace a $2,500 TV after less than four years. What a total ripoff.
