Product Description
Samsung's HL-R5688W is a cable-ready, HDTV-ready TV monitor that makes a fine centerpiece to any home entertainment system. The TV is based on DLP technology, the same kind used in the sharpest digital theaters. The powerful light engine brings you more vibrant colors and lighting than you've ever seen outside of real life, while preventing burn-ins, screen-aging, color-shifting and other common digital TV issues. The groundbreaking Digital Natural Image engine(DNIe) creates true-to-life colors and ultra-sharp contrast while removing digital artifacting. The HDMI connections offer audio & video transmission through a single digital connection, while Anynet lets you link up to your PCs with a minimum of trouble. The TV comes with built-in 30 watt audio, to enhance your viewing experience with stronger, crisper sound.

Amazon.com Product Description
Get the sharpest and clearest images possible from HD and standard TV and your favorite DVD movies with the 56-inch Samsung HL-R5688W DLP projection TV, which features a unique built-in pedestal. This TV measures less than 22 inches deep, helping you to avoid sacrificing precious real estate in your home. It has a built-in analog/digital (NTSC/ATSC) tuner that will receive free over-the-air HDTV signals and is Digital Cable Ready, so you can enjoy digital cable without an additional box or remote. It also offers a good range of connections for DVD, DTV, PC, HDTV sources.

DLP (which stands for Digital Light Processing) uses an optical semiconductor to recreate source material with a fidelity analog systems can't match. While other technologies lose a certain amount of light in transit, the microscopic mirrors in a DLP projection system bring more light from lamp to screen. It also features better color uniformity over time--no burn-in, screen aging or color-shifting possible. It's the leading display technology for products like small portable conference room projectors and professional venue entertainment systems.

This DLP set employs the latest Digital Micromirror Devices (DMD), which have switching speeds twice as fast as previous generation microdisplays and up to 1,000 times faster than competing technologies. When combined with Samsung's new Cinema Smooth 1080p light engine, the result is a crisp, bright picture with deep, rich colors that are closer to film.

The HL-R5688W features a widescreen picture aspect ratio (16:9; standard TVs have a 4:3 aspect ratio), which is the ideal screen format for viewing widescreen video from DVD players and the growing availability of broadcast programming off digital HDTV tuners (HD content is always widescreen), cable boxes and satellite receivers.

The HL-R5688W's 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time, to reduce dramatically edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. Powered by SamsungÕs Cinema Smooth technology, the 3:2 pulldown cinema video processing feature detects and compensates film--which is shot at 24 frames per second (fps) compared with video's 30 fps rate--to video for a smooth theater-like experience at home.

The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The Automatic Digital Format Conversion System is compatible with 1080i and 720p HDTV formats, 480p EDTV and 480i SDTV formats. This system will accept any DTV, analog TV, or XGA computer RGB input. All video signals are converted to a 16:9 wide-screen pixel count (1280 x 720) progressive display for flicker-free images.

The 30-watt stereo audio system (two 15-watt speakers) delivers ample sound for sports and movies. It features the following video and audio connections:

AV in (RCA): 3 (1 side, 2 rear)
S-Video In: 3 (1 side, 2 rear)
