Samsung HL-S5687W 56-Inch 1080p  DLP HDTV
Review Part 1
I ordered this TV on September 23rd and chose the super shipping option for free.  I was given an estimated arrival date of October 12th-20th.  I am pleased to say that today, October 3rd, the TV arrived safely at my house.  I definitely had second thoughts after I saw the October 12th-20th dates, but was relieved when it arrived in 10 days, or 7 business days.  I will have a review of the TV itself tomorrow.<br /><br />I chose Amazon because of the price and the fact that they are an authorized Samsung dealer according to Samsung's website.  This way, I am guaranteed a NEW Samsung TV with all manufacturers warranties intact.  Very happy with my decision on vendors...hopefully wont be disappointed with my decision on TVs!<br /><br />The second cheapest price(shipped) I found was $300 more than Amazon, but not from an authorized dealer.  my only regret was not using the $300 I saved to get the 61\\"!!!<br /><br />ok...watched the TV last night....All I can say is \\"WOW\\". The picture is incredible!!<br /><br />Let me first tell you why I decided to go with this TV. I have a big living room, and found there to be no point to hanging a TV on a wall. Second, I have tower speakers and all the electronics that stick out from the wall further than any TV. It would look funny to me with a TV stuck to the wall, and the reciever, DVD player, and speakers sticking out 18 inches.<br /><br />at this price point, you will NEVER find 1080P resolution at a screen size of 56\\"...period! I had a friend buy a 42\\" Panasonic plasma at 720P for $1900. so in essence, i got a TV that is 14\\" bigger, and double the resolution.<br /><br />Unless your house is built and wired around a flat screen TV, i see no reason to go with one...use your money smarter and get a bigger and better picture.<br /><br />I have also ordered a 1080P DVD player that will be arriving shortly. regular DVD's look good on this set, but not as good as high definition. i hope to be impressed with the 1080P conversion DVD player.<br /><br />as for regular TV...i think i still have to do a bit of messing around with the settings, but the set automatically formats it to regular shape so everything isnt all stretched out. I didnt expect anything amazing from regular cable, but i was not disappointed.do a bit of messing around with the settings, but the set automatically formats it to regular shape so everything isnt all stretched out.
