Samsung HL-R5078W 50" Widescreen 1080p DLP HDTV
DLP rocks
Amazingly lightweight for such a big TV. Easy installation using the HDMI interfaces from Cablevisions HD-DVR-Cablebox and the Samsung (Model HD960) upconverting DVD player. System adjusts screen size automatically without intervention. This is 2005 model. I was going to get 720p as salespersons were advising most shows and current DVD's are not 1080. but when they came out with 2006 models and cut prices on 2005 models, I got this for less than 720 model was prior month.  <br /> <br />The clarity is awesome. You can see every hair on their head blowing in the wind.  I was gratified to see that even regular TV seems to come through clearer than before despite hearing all types of stories about blurred pictures etc of regular transmission on HD TV sets. DLP seems to overcome that issue nicely. The upconverting of DVD's if equally amazing.   <br /> <br />The picture is amazingly bright (almost too bright) but pre-set modes adjust for daylight or dark room (movie-mode). View is great from all angles in our room - TV is set on  a 45 with all seats about 8-10 ft away.   <br /> <br />I haven't used all of the features on this baby yet but it is already in the no-regrets category and can only get better.  <br /> <br />
