Samsung HL-R5067W 50-Inch HD-Ready DLP TV
Re-written Review - ZERO STARS
Picture is great, colour is bright and although I have a very sunny room, the reflection is not much of a problem.  The cabinet is not distracting from the picture as I find the case with other sets.  Every connection imaginable available and easy to do.  Overall I'm very happy with this set.  Now there is a little story - When the TV arrived the hurried delivery team unpacked the set, put it on the floor and turned it on to prove that it was working.  The set came on and a menu was displayed.  Satisfied that the set was working, the delivery team turned it off, and I accepted the TV.  Little did I know that the unit would not stay on for more than 20 seconds without automatically shutting down.  The troubleshooting guide was not able to help me diagnose the problem so I called Samsung.  The Samsung sets come with a 1-year IN HOME warranty.  The in-home part is uncommon with other manufacturers.  I simply had to schedule 1 hour out of my day (they were able to come the next business day) to meet the Samsung service agent.  They replaced the entire inside of the TV and it now works great.  I'm unsure if the set got damaged during shipping, but the in-home service was a breeze.  I now have essentially a brand-new unit.  Samsung was a good deal.  So the lesson being - keep your unit on for a few minutes when it is delivered, and buy Samsung (or another with similar warranty) and protect yourself.  These are delicate units and even a little jostle can shake things to broke.  Originally purchased and reviewed in Aug. 2005  Updated Jan 2007 - Still performing great.  Set has never required maintenance or a new bulb.  This was a great purchase, I continue to be impressed with this units picture.    BIG UPDATE SEPT 2008 - After a short life, my tv now 3 yrs and 3 months old with very minimal usage (avg. 15 min/day - I'm away a lot)is dead in the water.  Light engine is the suspect.  Minimum $800-$1200 to repair, no service center close to me.  So, same TV new is only $1200.What choice do I really have.  Essentially, I have to write off the TV.  I'm so utterly disappointed with this product.  No TV should cost you $800/year to own.  Samsung no help - out of warranty of course they feel no accountability to taking my money and giving me 3 years for that kind of money - no value.  This is the 2nd time the TV is broken, and both times the entire inside needed replacing.  Never even go to replace a bulb.  Consider that the least of your worries.
