Samsung HLN507W 50-Inch Widescreen Projection HDTV with DLP Technology
Great HD monitor
I'v had this for three weeks and still think this is the best HD moniter on the market.  The picture quality really stands out in comparison.  <BR>I looked at DLP TV from RCA - Thomson and it looked like a lower resolution display, even though they say they use the same device from TI as Samsung.<BR>The minor things noted in other reviews;<br />1. not the best at standard broadcast TV.  Yes, if your only watching this - and no HD or DVD - than save your money.  Especially if you view from 12 ft. away or less.I have Directv HD with a Pansonic receiver and a progressive scan DVD player hooked up and use them to get widescreen and HD programs.<BR>Play the new Digital Video Essentials DVD on this system to see how good a picture can get.<br />2.  Minor issue with audio timing to the picture when watching cetain broadcasts using the built in analog tuner.  Using the Mute button repeatedly brings this out on my set.  This should be fixable with a software upgrade from Samsung - when they are ready.<br />3.  horizontal viewing angle is great - just as they say.  But the vertical viewing angle is about 90 degrees max.(45 up or down), like other rear projection TVs.  Set the TV at seated eye level and you won't even notice this.<br />I would have been nice to get a digital TV tuner built-in.  Since Directv and cable make you use their tuners for DTV, it's not worth waiting for this feature.<br />I have not yet used the DVI and PC interfaces.  I like the split-screen display using the PIP ( two tuners) in the set.  Even the PIP as a window is clear.<br /> <br />2.
