I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL TV REPAIRMAN! DANGER WARNING: THERE IS VERY HIGH VOLTAGE IN THE BACK OF A TV FROM ITS LARGE CAPACITORS. BE CAREFUL!!!

DLP projector - 1200 ANSI lumens - WXGA (1280 x 768) - widescreen - High Definition 720p This projector was $4,000, new. It is better than other entry level 720P projectors. Contrast is superior and the projector is best described as a light cannon. Compared to the H31, this projector has superior black levels, with more detail. Don't fixate on resolution alone. The colors, flesh tones, and 3D are flawless. This will be my workhorse ...

With 3550 hours and 3 years on my Mitsubishi DLP, it seemed a good idea to replace the lamp. This probably works for other DLPs, like the Samsung. After 1.000 hours, there was a gradual, but noticeable drop in picture quality. Another 1,000 hours more, it pushed me to use the "Deep Field Imager" to 'boost' contrast/brightness and compensate for the drop in light output. Lamps Not Bulbs. The lamp for a DLP ...

No need for a lamp 'bulb' with the LED, unlike other DLP, LCDs, SXRD/LCoS, etc projection TVs. AND... no 'spinning' color wheel, which you hear in some units. This LED is rated to last about twenty years. No need to wait for a service technician to replace a bulb...while you have no TV. Samsung LED HLT shows an the image in 4 seconds, while it is not uncommon for others to take over 30 seconds. You get deep ...

First Impressions. You get an absolutely beautiful picture. I believe it is better than a pixelated LCD or a glassy/shiny Plasma. Let me be clear, LCD and Plasma produce great pictures. But... Can you find them at a 60 inch size (or more) for less than $1,000? Don't even think about 24p HD viewing and 120hz refresh. That makes this TV an excellent value. You get lots of features with a HUGE viewing ...

 DMD (Digital Micro-Mirror Device) or DLP (Digital Light Processor) chip is failing. The DMD is has hundreds of thousands of tiny movable mirrors. Each white spot is a stuck mirror. Each mirror is a pixel. Sometimes a stuck mirror shows as a black speck. Samsung has extend coverage for this problem on some models.  

Let me start by saying you do not want to wall-mount this TV! This TV is meant for a stand or a table. Watching "LOST" on this in HD is absolutely beautiful. This Samsung is made for shows like that. It also works well with standard definition TV shows (i.e. non-HD). However, this TV was meant for HD. With my Comcast digital receiver, HD ranges from "a little better than standard definition" ...

HDTV is a big improvement over the CRT TVs of the past. But, you don't get a great picture right out of the box. There are some things you should know first. The Essentials. To see in high-definition, you need... a High Definition TV, a High Definition Receiver, and High Definition Programming. Each involves lots of elements that determine the image, performance, and enjoyment you get from an HDTV. To find the solution that works best ...

I've had a Sony Grand WEGA KF-42WE610 42-Inch HDTV-Ready LCD Rear Projection TV set and an LCD TV. I recommended (and tweaked) a Samsung HLP4663W DLP for my parents. It replaced an older Mitsubishi CRT RPTV. I have a 26 inch Syntax LT26HVE flat-panel LCD. It is used as my PC monitor. So, HDTVs are not new for me. SXRD is Sony's version of LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) technology. Picture Quality. What really makes ...

You've made an investment in advanced TV technology, the HDTV lamp. To get the most life out of your set, here are some important issues to consider. Heavy Vibrations. A DLP is sensitive when... kids jump up and down on the floor, there are heavy footsteps that vibrate the floor where the TV sits, and excessive volume comes from a home theater system subwoofer. The above causes vibration to the display. If your display vibrates, so does your ...
