Product Description
Samsung introduces a new generation digital TV that finally addresses high-definition performance, compact design and affordability when compared to other flat panel designs. The HLN507W displays 50 inches of breathtaking wide-screen viewing area that is elegantly framed in an ultra-light, thin-bezel cabinet. Weighing about 78 pounds and a mere 17.6 inches deep, the HLN507W fits almost anywhere. The secret to this engineering marvel - a compact digital projector powered by a single, postage stamp sized Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) that generates high definition video images. These video images are created by proprietary digital light processing (DLP) techniques, and then magnified by an advanced array of optics.Its fully digital video design processes combined with Samsung's new DNIe video enhancer optimizes all analog NTSC and wideband sources be it a VCR, DVD player, camcorder or TV programming from digital satellite receivers and HDTV tuners. The new DVI interface is compatible with the new generation cable, satellite and off-air high-definition receivers for a pure digital picture. Samsung's HLN507W will also accommodate a computer too with no burn-in or screen-aging issues to worry about. Hang it, mount it, rest it on a stand or wall-unit, and simply move it anywhere, its size and weight offers more placement possibilities over any other TV design. Finally, Samsung lets you put TV in its place.

Amazon.com Description
Amazon.com Description The 50" DLP projection TV displays a widescreen viewing area that is elegantly framed in an ultra-light, thin-bezel cabinet. Weighing about 80 pounds and only17.6 inches deep, it fits almost anywhere. You will experience perfect vision: Samsung’s DLP projection TV delivers unmatched brightness, contrast levels, and color accuracy, plus full digital convergence and a host of top-notch features. Its sleek design and lightweight construction also make this monitor possibly the most attractive and versatile TV your home has ever seen.

HDTV with DLP technology
Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology is found in leading digital cinemas the world over. The heart of DLP technology is a micro-display panel no larger than a postage stamp, which integrates 921,600 microscopic mirrors to deliver eye-popping, high-definition detail, color, and clarity. Samsung applies the magic of DLP technology to your home theater via its patented, compact optical engine that replaces the large, heavy picture tubes found in direct-view sets. Best of all, Samsung DLP projection TVs are lighter, more affordable, and use far less power than plasma TVs. Now you can enjoy the spine-tingling thrills of digital television in a sleek, tabletop design that's significantly smaller, lighter, and brighter than a conventional projection TV. Samsung's advanced convergence technologies also make DLP projection TVs compatible with your HDTV tuner, PC, DVD, game console, VCR, camcorder, digital camera, and much more.

Samsung optical engine
Samsung's patented optical engine ensures maximum brightness, flicker-free video, detailed text, and still images, and a full 160-degree viewing angle. DLP micro-display technology and Samsung's proprietary Bent Light Lens System give you a big-screen TV without the big-screen hassle. Its ultra-slim, ultra-lightweight design lets you put it virtually anywhere. And its optical engine is durable, long-lasting, and never needs calibrating.

Digital perfection
DLP technology 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. The surface of the DLP panel is covered with almost a million micro-mirrors (1280 x 720) that act as pixels. This incredibly high pixel count creates a striking, digital image with seamless resolution, amazing detail, and brilliant, lifelike colors. And because the pixels are less than one micron apart, you won't notice the "screen door" effect apparent with other TVs.

Ultra-smooth action
Samsung's DLP micro-mirrors can switch on and off over 5,000 times a second--that's up to 10 times faster than other micro-displays. This allows DLP Projection TV to smoothly and accurately display fast-switching content like HDTV and DVD.

Brighter and clearer

At 400 cd/m2, DLP outshines other micro-display technologies for a bright, clear picture, with incredible contrast and color accuracy. Its unique optical engine preserves the intensity of the original image with vibrant colors and rich, deep blacks. Its high, 1000:1 contrast ratio makes for ideal color separation and crisp, detailed images. That's why Samsung's DLP projection TV is perfect for any source material that demands minute detail, such as HDTV, computer images, and DVDs.

Consistent screen image
The DLP projection TV is much more durable than competing technologies because the display doesn't physically age or deteriorate. Its ultra-high-pressure lamp delivers consistent light output and picture quality throughout its long lifespan.

Cinema progressive scan and 3:2 pulldown
The cinema progressive scan enhancement automatically upconverts all nondigital signals to a smooth, clear 720 lines of progressive scan. The 3:2 pulldown feature is a must for any movie enthusiast. It analyzes each frame of video, removing unclear frames that were added during the transfer from film to video. These added frames cause blurring, stuttering, and other motion artifacts, especially during fast-action sequences. 3:2 pulldown eliminates them and gives your DVDs a look and feel that's much closer to film. Cinema progressive scan with 3:2 pulldown is powered by Faroudja's patented DCDi video processing on Samsung DLP projection TVs.

1280 x 720 progressive display quality
Samsung delivers flicker-free, static images, thanks to its all-format conversion system. Progressive scan is a must for rock-steady text, still images, and smooth action sequences.

Wide viewing angle
Left side, right side, or upside-down--whatever your location, Samsung DLP projection TVs allow you to see any display clearly, thanks to its 160-degree-wide viewing angle. Unlike traditional projection TVs, the image doesn't get darker as you move away from the center.

What's in the Box
TV, remote control, two AAA batteries, and user's manual.

2 out of 5 stars Picture Great, Repair Service Horrible   November 3, 2007
S. Hansen (Central Coast)
Before you buy, call your local Samsung authorized repair service and ask them how parts and service are these days. If they check out, then fine, buy the TV. My Samsung DLP was wonderful for 12 months, then the sound crapped out. I'll keep the story short. All 3 closest (60 miles plus) service facilities will no longer service Samsung because they cannot get parts in a timely manner and the poor receptionists are getting ulcers from all the irate customers yelling at them for having their TV's broken for 2 months. My picture is still great, and I can route my receiver through my HIFi system. Once it totally fails I am buying Sony and never anything else.


1 out of 5 stars AVOID SAMSUNG LIKE THE PLAGUE   August 1, 2007

I was lured by the gorgeous HDTV picture. I loved this tv until it started to make a grinding noise. It came and went until it became unbearable. Research on the web revealed a common issue: failure of the color wheel. This, an archaic technology going back to the invention of the color tv, is a complete waste. It seems to have a life of 2-3 1/2 years. You need to replace it. It is expense to replace. I did so, but it would not go on. I replaced the lamp as suggested, it would not work. Then it was suggested to change the ballast. This still did not do it. I believe the DLP technology will go the way of the 8-track tape, the cassette, the VHS, the Edsel, the dodo...My Sharp Aquos LCD HDTV is amazing and a good value.


1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS TV!!!!   March 25, 2006

I have owned this model for almost three years. This model is flawed. I will be replacing the color wheel for the second time. I have yet to replace the lamp. My repair man states that this is a common problem with this model. Samsung has yet to resolve this issue.

I will have to replace the color wheel ($350) every three years...this is not worth it.



5 out of 5 stars After 3 years, it still rocks!!!   October 19, 2005

Awesome picture, easy to move, shallow depth and great quality over all.

Folks giving it one Star prolly cannot figure out how to turn one on. DLP is a great solution because there is Zero Burn in concern. Meaning you can watch all your favorite shows in the correct format without worrying about burning in. Also means you do not have to deal with distorted "Fat People".

It's also nice that the DLP does not dominate the room unlike all of the older bigscreens this thing is easy to move and only 17.5" thin.

Good Stuff.

Update: Well another 3 years and I've replaced a bulb... Yup, same great picture, and has been flawless through three moves now. Couldn't be happier. PS3, Wii, all look great. Starting to see the need for some updated technology perhaps, but still a great value.



1 out of 5 stars Don't get one of these   October 31, 2004

I was so excited to get my Samsung HLN507W 50" DLP and the Samsung DVD-HD841. Now that I have had them for a week, I could not be more disappointed. I will start with the good things. The picture. The picture is incredible. I am using the DVI video and optical audio interface for the DVD player and component video/optical audio for the HD Digital Cable. Both look stunning. I do get surround sound from the DVD player with the optical cable. So much for the good stuff.

The audio and picture are not in sync on most of the regular cable channels when listening to the TV speakers. The HD channels seem to be OK. Most of the time. I called Samsung the first day I had the TV and they told me it was a known problem with this model and when can they send someone out to fix it. The local repair guy said the "lip sync kit" (on backorder) has not corrected the problem on other units he has worked on. Even the DVD audio is not quite in sync on the TV speakers.

It was very difficult to get the DVD - DVI picture on the screen. You have to connect the component cables and go through the menu to change to the DVD output, and then complete the process on the DVI output. That took a while to figure out.

The DVD player freezes, then continues, freezes, then continues, freezes, then continues, freezes, then continues, many times on DVD's that play fine on my older players. It is going back tomorrow.

I guess they haven't quite figured out all this new technology. I really hope someone out there is having better luck than me.

Now I am also having a horizontal hold problem. After about 10 minutes of warm up time the picture stops flipping.....
