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-R6167W 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-R6167W'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)
- RF In: 2

 Great DLP TV: Super Picture October 10, 2007
HD (USA)
I have had this TV for over 2 years and the picture is great. High Def. looks outstanding...I have not had a single problem with it. The bulb that needs replaced every 2-3 years to brighten up the picture is 185 dollars at samsung.com. This TV will give you are great picture if you can get it at a good price. I would not pay over 2000 for this TV today b/c of what you can get now for 2000...but if the price is right...this is a great tv.
Great DLP TV but the Lamp is the Hidden Cost December 11, 2006

I purchased it Oct. 2005 from another e-store at super price of $2443 shipped. Its a great unit but it may be a good time to go 1080P and consider flat panel. One MAJOR CAVEAT that I am learning is that the lamp will last about 2000 - 2500 hours and cost $200-400 and its seems to vary by models. I was told it has 7k life by Samsung but my particular lamp has started to fade after 2000-2200 hrs. The cost of 9 to 10 lamps over 10 years even at do it yourself route at $200 a pop makes Plasma and flat panel LCD a better choice. Plasma has 40,000 hours life and no maintenance and it may pay over time. In 2005, 60" plasma was 7k vs. 3 k for 720p DLP, but now the price differential is not that great, and picture quality is awesome for Panasonic, Samsung, Sony and LG.

3 months after my warranty expired, the color wheel failed...looking at the internet, this is a fairly common problem with Samsung DLPs.
While the picture is great, I'm concerned that it barely lasted the warranty period before needing repair.
great tv July 31, 2006

We have had this tv since November 2005 and have really enjoyed it. We had it delivered via the amazon delivery option. The delivery guys unboxed it outside the house and placed it on the floor because we hadn't yet found an appropriate tv stand. My father in law and husband then spent the day getting everything programmed. The picture quality is clear and I've grown dependent on the tv guide which comes with the tv. We've had no problems with the tv. We definitely liked the ease and competitive pricing amazon offered. I know some people have had difficulty with the shipping. We've found that the delivery people will give you a call if you request it, so you don't need to wait around all day. As for another person having a problem with the delivery people not hooking the tv up for him, I've never encountered delivery people who would do that. I was ecstatic when the guys who later delivered my tv stand actually took the time to place my tv on top of the new stand.
Pretty.. Huge March 31, 2006

This TV is huge. I was originally planning on purchasing a 50-55 inch TV at the $2K price range. There is a lot of value in this TV.
HDTV looks awesome. It even looks better than DVDs playing through over the component cables. This TV doesn't have 1080p support (it has 1080i though), but you're not really missing anything because most HDTV programs aren't transmitted higher than 720p (which this TV fully supports). This TV also supports Cablecards if your cable provider has them available.
The other semi-problem mentioned earlier was that there wasn't enough high end inputs (hdmi, DVI), and it's true though there are enough component inputs if you prefer that. The Anynet function and TV Guide feature was useless for me, but it's always nice to have extra features.
One of the neatest features is plugging my computer into the TV through the D-Sub (15 pin monitor) input. Though some care has to be made so you don't accidentally set the resolution to something that can't be displayed properly on the TV. It is pretty finicky when it comes to what resolutions can be displayed unlike a regular monitor.
One other minor issue I had was the viewing angle. The TV doesn't come with a stand, so some thought has to be put into the placement of this TV. For optimal viewing, you want to be able to be eye level with the center of the TV.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this TV purchase and recommend it as a very good DLP solution for those that don't need the 1080p or a lot of the higher end digital inputs.
edit - The newer 61" 1080p model (HL-R6168W) from Samsung might be more value for only a few hundred dollars more as of the prices posted on Amazon today (4.3.06).
