Samsung HL-S5686W 56-Inch DLP HDTV
Good DLP TV
I have had this TV for nearly two months. The picture on most programming is really nice but on some shows it has lines and/or pixels; not sure if it is my signal or the TV, I have comcast HD; which the HD channels are great. I have in the past had a 50\\" plasma (which I returned due to a humming noise that couldn't be fixed) and a 50\\" Sony LCD projection (which I lost due to a flood; it worked excellent for the two years I had it). The plasma definetly had a better pictures for contrast and brightness; if you can live with a humming and the fact that they typically break more. <br /> <br />I had considered the 1080p version however since there are almost no signals out there that are that high of resolution; whats the point.I also have a 32\\" LCD tv and in my opinion it has the best picture compared to plasma; DLP and LCD projection. In hindsight I might buy a 40\\" LCD and live with a smaller picture. <br /> <br />this TV is easy to operate and has ample inputs. <br /> <br />The problem I have had with the Smasung was the remote only worked from 3-4 feet from the TV; not very convient if you sit 12 feet from it. Samsung sent out a repair man and aparently it was just a little peice of plastic that was not removed during manufacturing was blocking the signal. <br />I buy a lot from Amazon however I bought this from Butterfly Photo with a three year warranty and bulb replacement plan for $2080 including tax, and shipping. Their warranty kept coming down in price as I told them I didn't want it.  <br /> <br />In all for large TV's I would reccomend this TV or the Sony.
