Samsung HL-R5067W 50-Inch HD-Ready DLP TV
Be prepared to upgrade everything else, or be dissatisfied!
OK, let me first say that this TV CAN be great.  OTA broadcasts in HD are very nice.  Video games look very nice (especially Xbox 360, intended for HD).   <br /> <br />HOWEVER, gaming on lesser systems, like gen1 Xbox, PS2, GameCube, etc. will leave you with a half-second lag between the time you do something on the controller and when it actually happens on the screen.  For games where timing is important (most, though some more than others), this is a killer.  It has been said that setting your input to the \\"GAME\\" label addresses this, but it most certainly DOES NOT. <br /> <br />NEXT, today's DVDs are meant for 480p resolution, so they must be upconverted (either by the TV or an upconverting DVD player) to display on this TV.  Even upconverted, many DVDs still look terrible, especially in darker scenes, where you will see all kinds of heavy distortion/blockiness and solid textures that appear to be moving (when they shouldn't be).  I assume (and hope) that once HD-DVD (or Blu-Ray) comes out, those DVDs will look perfect on this TV...  But don't expect it from standard DVDs that exist today.   <br /> <br />FINALLY, there is an issue of \\"video lag\\", where the video is a fraction of a second behind the audio (if you send your audio to your receiver for surround sound), creating a lip-sync problem.  It's not ALL the time, but MUCH of the time.  If your receiver has an audio delay feature, this can help, or you can buy a 3rd party audio delay device.  I see these as Band-Aids though, to address a problem in the TV that should not exist.  I feel that if the TV had this kind of issue, then it was not ready to be sold.   <br /> <br />SUMMARY:  This is a good TV that has potential to look great, but not without upgrading all your other equipment too.  This means potentially new (1) Receiver (for audio delay feature), (2) DVD player (to an upconverting model w/ HDMI, which will still be unsatisfactory in many cases -- hi-def DVD player and movies are the true solution here), (3) Gaming system (that natively supports 720p, so TV does not have to upconvert the signal, which is the supposed cause of the gaming response lag), (4) Cable service (standard cable looks pretty bad on this TV, need HD content) and/or OTA antenna (better results than same channels over HD cable). <br /> <br />See this forum BEFORE you buy, it's dedicated to this particular TV, and has LOADS (too much for some) of info, good and bad!
