Review Summary
Featuring a "hidden speaker" thin bezel design, Samsung's 50" Widescreen DLP TV delivers an astounding HDTV experience. Samsung created the Cinema Smooth light engine that produces razor-sharp pictures in 1080p. The natural, vivid colors of Samsung's HL-S5087W are achieved through a 5-Segment Color Wheel that enriches the viewing experience, far surpassing the 3 panel technologies of earlier DLP televisions.
A contrast ratio of up to 10,000:1 captures black and white with true contrast. And the ultra-fast DLP chip results in the fastest video performance of any HDTV. Best yet, Samsung's superior technology ensures no image burn-in for a reliable, long-lasting picture. Enjoy all your 4:3 aspect-ratio programming in smooth, wide-screen -- without black bars.
Four pre-set aspect ratio modes - Normal, Wide, Zoom 1 and Zoom 2 - stretch your image to fill the screen naturally. V-Chip enables parental control for TV programs that have the rating code signal embedded within. Samsung's exclusive Digital Natural Image engine makes the sharpest and clearest images possible, regardless of the profile of input signals. Five image processors and a six-time density enhancer ensure the best picture from any source.
The HL-S5087W has plenty of input to handle your current and future audio/video gear. There are two HD-compatible component video inputs, and two HDMI inputs - and for future-readiness, all of them accept signals up to 1080p. The standard PC input lets this set double as a big, hi-res computer monitor. Whether you're interested in HDTV programs, DVD movies, video games, or all of the above, this TV will plug you in.
