Samsung HLP5674W
Manufacturer's Description
Known for their award-winning picture quality, Samsung introduces its 4th generation of leading edge DLP(TM) TVs . The new HL-P5674W displays 56 inches of inviting wide-screen viewing area that is elegantly framed in an ultraslim bezel cabinet. Weighing less than 95 pounds and less than 19 inches deep, the HL-P5674W offers more viewing screen and less bulkiness.
The secret to this engineering marvel - a compact digital projector powered by EMMY-winning technology by Texas Instruments. Samsung combined a single, postage stamp-sized Digital Micro-Mirror Device (DMD) that generates high definition video images with its proprietary HD2 Plus optical engine, resulting in film-like video images with more color depth and true black levels that is sure to captivate the most discerning viewer.
The updated optical engine boasts a 2000:1 contrast ratio for improved low-light video performance with a more film-like feel.
Equipped with a host of advanced digital interfaces and video inputs, connectivity challenges and future proofing are a non-issue. Hang it, mount it, rest it on a stand or wall-unit, or simply move it anywhere anytime, its size and weight offers more placement possibilities over any other TV design. Finally, DLP(TM) TV by Samsung; it fits where others won't.
Widescreen Aspect Ratio is the ideal screen format for viewing widescreen video from DVD players and the growing availability of broadcast programming off digital HDTV tuners, cable boxes and satellite receivers.
DLP(TM) Projection System DLP(TM) (Digital Light Processing) technology by Texas Instruments is the only display solution that enables projection systems to create a purely digital connection between a digital video or graphic source and the screen in front of you. While all other technologies are analog and compromise some image quality in translation, DLP(TM) projection unleashes the full potential of high quality video content.
Samsung DNIe(TM) Video Enhancer or Digital Natural Image engine, enhances all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe(TM) by Samsung improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates a digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video.
Automatic Digital Format Conversion System is compatible with 1080i and 720P HDTV formats, 480P and 480i SDTV formats. Samsung digital format conversion system will accept any DTV, Analog TV, or XGA computer RGB input. All video signals are converted to a 16x9 widescreen pixel count (1280 x 720 resolution) progressive display.
Next Generation DMD Enhancement offers the latest performance enhancement to the HD2 Plus optical engine. Texas Instrument`s latest micro-display panel. Combined with Samsung`s advanced light processing optics, the result is an overall stunning picture quality that is clear, bright and with outstanding contrast. Samsung`s HDTV monitor televisions based on DLP(TM) technology will deliver a stunning picture quality that rivals any other display technology available today. On reliability, the Texas Instrument DMD panel is immune to the factors that can cause the performance of other display technologies - such as cathode ray tubes (CRT), plasma display panels (PDP), liquid crystal display systems (LCD, LCoS, HTPS), and film to deteriorate with ongoing use. The DLP(TM) panel is insusceptible to the damaging effects of heat, humidity, vibration, and aging. Projection systems using DLP(TM) technology enable you to see the creator's original vision at full impact again and again, no matter how many times a video or graphic has been projected.
New Lamp, Just Like New Performance No other technology can claim that a routine lamp replacement will result in like new performance since DLP technology doesn`t age or degrade through time.
Single DMD Panel Design displays a bright clear high-definition picture without annoying focus, color abberations and any possible convergence artifacts seen in display designs that incorporate multiple microdisplay panels or multiple CRT`s.
Samsung`s Cinema Smooth(TM) Film Mode 3:2 Pull Down correction circuitry senses motion found in unconverted 480i DVD video based on 24 fps film productions. Especially important when converting to a progressive video image, the result is an elimination of visible motion artifacts. This feature is by-passed on 480P, 720P and 1080i inputs.
3D Y/C Digital Comb Filter dramatically reduces edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.
2-Tuner PIP With Side-By-Side Split Screen enables convenient simultaneous viewing of two TV programs on the TV screen.
New Brighter HD Ultra-Fine Pitch Screen (.155mm) further improves picture clarity especially when viewing higher definition video sources like DVD and HDTV. Text and fine details will appear sharper.
AUDIO
30-Watt Stereo Audio System and two way speaker system offers full range of high quality audio.
SRS TruSurround XT(TM) is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through any two-speaker playback system, including internal television speakers and headphones. It is fully compatible with all multichannel formats up to 6.1 channels.
