Amazon.com Product Description
Get the sharpest and clearest images possible from HD and standard TV and your favorite DVD movies with the 50-inch Samsung HL-R5067W 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. 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 SamsungOs 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

- 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.

 Oh sweet merciful Jeebus! June 11, 2005

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 when he hears what I paid compared to what he shelled out for his plasma ;)
If you're looking to go HD, this is definitely the way to go, more screen for your buck and a picture that will make even the most uninitiated viewer gasp.
AWESOME! July 28, 2005

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.
BEST HD Technology For The Price -- Get Extended Warranty! December 21, 2005
56 out of 64 found this review helpful
We've been enjoying our 50" HLN-5065 Sammy DLP for more than 2 years now, with no regrets! I got the 4-year on-site Extended Warranty at Best Buy for $300 when we bought it and I'm glad we did. Since this is a relatively new technology, there are bound to be problems that slowly get worked out with each new series that's released. Last March (at the start of March Madness no less), our screen started randomly freezing with a black and white image on the screen that looked like a photo negative.
One call to Best Buy and within a couple of days, a service guy came out and said he had to replace the digital board...We could still watch TV, but just had to shut it down and boot it back up whenever the screen froze...Sometimes 2-3 times a day, sometimes no times a day. Once the new board arrived and was installed ($292.95 parts + $150 labor), it worked like new for about another month when it did the SAME thing again!
This time a different service guy came out and installed a brand new light engine AND digital board ($1,303.72 parts + $150 labor)...Basically ALL NEW GUTS in the TV! They're the latest version too because he actually had difficulty getting the ports/jacks to line up properly between the new guts and old back cover. That's when he said they don't make the older parts anymore, since they've made improvements in the technology and use those when repairs are needed...Sounded good to me, so I bought into it!
One thing's for sure...The picture has never been better on this screen with both Std Definition and our DirecTV HD feed and OTA Zenith Silver Sensor HD local channels. So why would I give a product 5 stars when we experienced such problems with it?
It's easy...This set delivers a stunning large picture that never degrades (mechanically) over time, and it was $3,200 new when 42" plasmas were $7,000 to $8,000. In another 3-4 years, those plasmas will be worthless and we'll just put a new bulb in our DLP and it'll look good-as-new! Technical difficulties with new technologies should not be unexpected, but rather anticipated...Thus, the reason for purchasing an extended warranty.
After more than 1-1/2 years of viewing enjoyment, our $300 warranty paid for $1,900 of brand new parts, including improved technology! It's like insurance...You don't want to use it, but if you do NEED it, you don't want to find yourself without it. Since this 50" DLP is now only $1,800, you should seriously consider it the front-runner in any large screen HDTV purchase comparison. Don't just consider what you get in picture quality NOW, but what will you still be enjoying several years from now after your neighbor's plasma with multiple screen burn-ins finally gives up the gas and goes screen up in the landfill!
Nice Television, Don't Buy From Amazon December 7, 2005
31 out of 34 found this review helpful
I purchased this television from Amazon; I like the television, it's sharp, contrasty, and though it suffers from the typical DLP issues, it does a stellar job otherwise.
What I would caution however, is that you don't purchase this from Amazon directly. I had a downright horrific experience with Amazon's shipping company, Eagle GL, involving a soaked telvision with obvious signs of improper shipping, arriving days late with no status or contact along the way. Amazon's freight delivery providers are completely incompetent and should not be trusted. Get yours from J&R or one of othe other listed vendors.
 Decent TV, but has its faults September 13, 2005

When I bought this TV and brought it home, I immediately noticed a curved border on the 4:3 aspect ratio mode. Upon exchanging the set for another identical set, the problem still exists on the new one, leading me to believe this is a problem on all of this model. The Samsung web site says that a 1/2" deviance is "acceptable", so if you have the same problem, don't expect the manufacturers warranty to help. The pincushion problem is not nearly as noticeable in 16:9 format, but if you can't stand the stretching of a 4:3 signal to 16:9, this will be an issue for you as well.
The remote control looks like something out of the '80s. It is functional, but for a big screen TV, you expect more. I suggest the Harmony remote control, and just toss the stock remote control in a drawer for emergencies.
When I spend over 2000 bucks on something, I expect perfection, but did not get it with this set.
The Good:
-- crisp, bright widescreen picture
The Bad:
-- archaic remote control
-- slightly concave screen causes pincushion deviance of anywhere from 1/8" to 1/4", very noticable in 4:3 mode
UPDATE 1/27/2006:
After a few months of owning this tv, I started noticing smudge marks on the set that were not on the front of the picture; these only occured while the picture was a white or very bright color. I called Samsung after seeing this was a common problem on their support site. Within a few minutes of talking ot the operator, I had a number of a local shop that is certified to do Samsung repairs. They were over at my house after about a week. The repairman replaced the entire engine and ordered a new screen. After another few weeks, after a replacement screen was obtained by the repair shop, the screen has been replaced. All of this was done at no extra cost to me, but did take about 3 weeks total to get fixed (not really Samsungs fault).
The concave shape of the screen that I complained about in the review is now gone. My main complaint is that both of the sets that came out of the factory were faulty in one way or another. I am put off by the low quality coming out of the factory, but when you have this TV with a flat screen and a new engine, it looks pretty darn good.
