Samsung HLR6167W 61-Inch Widescreen HDTV DLP TV
Best DLP on the market right now
At the time of my writing this (Nov 2005) I researched and viewed every DLP I could get to from Circut City, Best Buy, The Sony Store, and some local big screen TV shops. <br /> <br />The Good: <br /> <br />I found this Samsung to provide hands down the best DLP picture available. The picture is bright, sharp, and clear but of course is still subject to diminished quality when it is in direct sunlight or in a very bright room. I just close my blinds about halfway in the day time and it looks great. I can't help but attribute this to the fact that Samsung pioneered the DLP technology and they have had the longest amount of time to perfect it. <br /> <br />I mainly decided on DLP as I am an avid gamer and DLP is a great choice for games as it has no possible \\"burn-in\\" at all (something both LCD and Plasma can suffer from). DLP is also an amazing value if you want a very large size screen. <br /> <br />I've had this TV for the last 3 months now and am extremely pleased with it's performance. DVDs are a joy and appear extremely film-like and clean. Video games look fantastic with the 720p display bringing out all of the detail you would expect. <br /> <br />The UI and remote are good and offer quick access to the features that you need with one press (like ratio switching). <br /> <br />The TV has a very thin profile and looks great when sitting on the stand that is designed for it. The stand easily holds about 4 full sized components like a TiVo or Cable Box. <br /> <br />The whole tv only weighs in at 120 or so lbs. I was easily able to lift this onto the stand with one person helping on the other side. It is extremely light for it's size. <br /> <br />The Bad: <br /> <br />If you are a big picture in picture fan you might want to look elsewhere, as the PIP option is locked to a second source, so you can forget browsing other channels with it. About all it is good for is keeping an eye on another source like your xbox or dvd. <br /> <br />Summary: <br /> <br />If youwant a large DLP today you'll be hard pressed to find a better DLP picture on the market. If this review is a bit old however do look around and see what is out there. This technology is developing rapidly and advancements are being made by other companies all the time. If you have your eye on this set already, buy with confidence and know you're getting a quality and great looking product.
