Samsung HLP6163W 61-Inch HDTV Monitor with DLP Technology
Excellent Performance!
I have owned this for 4 months now and I could not be more satisfied with the quality of the picture or sound.  I use DISH network hooked to the DVI input for regular TV viewing and a progressive scan DVD/VHS player/recorder on one of the Component Video inputs.  VHS is disappointing on any HDTV, but when receiving HD signals the picture is as lifelike as you can get. Conventional TV signals have excellent color and look good, but you'll be spoiled forever once you start watching actual High Definition signals.  Going back is tough.  The DVD picture quality is as good as in a movie theater when viewing a new print of a film.  This TV is Energy Star compliant, weighs only 99 pounds and has terrific sound.  The remote control is lousy, the worst I've ever owned; but the on screen menus are easy to use.  The owners manual is OK, but doesn't go into much detail on the various settings and there are a lot of adjustments possible, but they're not explained in the documentation.  However, it looks great on the default settings from the factory. <br /> <br />I researched HDTV's for over a year before making this selection and couldn't be more happy.  After 5 weeks the picture failed.  We called Samsung and it was repaired under warranty in 48 hours as good as new.  They replaced the entire DLP processor unit, mirrors and lamps - it's all together in one unit.  The repairs took under an hour.  The tech said they send the defective DLP units back to Samsung so they can analyze the failure on the few that they've had trouble with.  He said if they fail it's usually within the first 8-12 weeks.  He's never repaired a Samsung DLP set more than once. <br /> <br />You can't go wrong with this product!
