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 ...

 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.  

My Samsung HL-R6168W (June 2005 build) color wheel died (to replace the lamp, visit Samsung HL-R6168W HLR6168W Lamp with Housing BP96-01073A ). I was going to get a new TV, but decided to try and repair this one. Do-it-yourself repair of the color wheel takes 60-90 minutes and saves $300-500 in technician labor costs.  Identifying the Problem. When it blew, the color wheel did not make a pop/bang/knock. Instead, the left side of the image got wavy. Next came what sounded like ...

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" ...

You may not believe this, but there are counterfeit lamps out there. Like counterfeit watches, jewelry, clothes, or phones, the seller won't be willing to answer questions directly nor give you a valid guarantee.

Reviews: Background I bought this TV to fill a void... a void in my new entertainment center.
