Samsung HL-S5087W 50-Inch 1080p DLP HDTV
Great TV. Great Service.
I had been looking at the Sony 50\\" SXRD since it came out with the plans to eventually purchase it. However, once I saw the Samsung I changed my mind. If you can, I recommend looking at them side by side. I found Circuit City to carry both TV's. The quality of the picture was nearly the same with an HD signal, but when you play a DVD or watch non-HD TV the DNIE feature really makes a difference. I also found the Samsung to be able to achieve brightness higher then the Sony.  <br /> The audio is ok. I have read other reviews that state it is bad. It's not great, but it is fine and you can adjust it custom with the 5 band equalizer in the menu. However I recommend you hook the optical out to your stereo and enjoy the true HD in Dolby Digital. <br />  The only con is the preset for the picture. It took me nearly 2 weeks to adjust the color, contrast, and brightness. But it is well worth it now. I actually discovered the picture to be to bright! Being able to reduce each of the six colors individually is also a plus.  <br /> <br />  As for Amazon the price of course was great. When I purchased it delivery was estimated from 10 to 20 days out. However, I received the TV exactly a week after ordering it.
