Product Description
Samsung introduces a new generation digital TV that finally addresses high definition performance, compact design and affordability when compared to other flat panel designs. The HLN567W displays 56 inches of breathtaking widescreen viewing area that is elegantly framed in an ultra-light, thin-bezel cabinet. Weighing about 95 pounds and a mere 18.2 inches deep, the HLN567W fits almost anywhere.
Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung's DLP-based HLN567W projection television will thrill you with its amazingly slender 18.2-inch profile and huge, 56-inch display, whose widescreen format is specially configured to accommodate the native aspect ratios of favorite movies. Its small size and relatively light weight (under 95 pounds) free you to try it out in different parts of your home before settling on the spot that's right.

This isn't a garden-variety projection set. DLP, or Digital Light Processing technology (developed by Texas Instruments) allows purely digital connections between video sources and the projection system in front of you. The HLN567W uses a second-generation (HD-2) DMD Chip, which--combined with Samsung's light-processing optics--results in clear, bright, high-contrast images. Further, the DLP panel is insusceptible to the damaging effects of heat, humidity, vibration, or aging, so burn-in will never be an issue--all the more reason to make your TV double as a computer monitor. Hang it, mount it, or place it on a stand.

And, when you're ready to take on the world of high-definition television, just add a HD satellite/off-air receiver or an HDTV tuner to enjoy full-quality digital HDTV broadcast programming--the set features a DVI-HDTV interface to establish a direct, premium-quality digital connection with your DTV receiver.

Samsung's DNIe Video Enhancer (or Digital Natural Image engine) enhances all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, and picture detail, incorporating digital noise reduction to improve low-quality video sources. The set's Automatic Digital Format Conversion System is compatible with 1080i and 720p HDTV, 480P EDTV, and 480i SDTV formats. The system accepts any DTV, analog TV, or XGA computer RGB input. All video signals are converted to a progressive-scanned 16:9 widescreen pixel count (1,280 x 720 resolution).

Faroudja Film Mode 3:2 pulldown detection renders DVD movies in their native 24-frame format. Digital video mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

Samsung's HD Ultra-Fine Pitch screen further improves picture clarity, especially when viewing higher-definition video sources like DVD and HDTV. The .155 mm screen brings out subtle image details otherwise unnoticeable on standard .72 mm pitch screens.

A total of 13 video inputs handles more than just about any set we've seen and includes the DVI input mentioned above, a PC input (D-Sub 15 pin, XGA), three each composite-video and S-video inputs, two high-definition component-video inputs, a DVD-specific input that handles 480i/p outputs, and two standard RF inputs (for VCRs and cable boxes). You can assign picture-format sizes to each video input; the remote's "aspect" button toggles through the set's five options: zoom 1, zoom 2, wide, panorama, and normal (the TV retains the last format setting for each input); and all onscreen information and menus appear in translucent overlays, letting you view video programs in the background while you consult the setup menus.

The 15-watt-per-channel stereo audio system benefits from BBE High-Definition Sound with a five-band equalizer, which enhances the sound from both movies and music programs. The Sound Mode Preset feature gives you dynamic sound settings for whatever you're watching--choose from standard, music, movie, speech, or custom, while Virtual Dolby simulates an exciting surround effect from any two speakers.

Just didn't work, period.......2006-10-14

First, the registration failed to connect to the internet. Not the end of the world, but that was a tip as to how the rest of it would work.

It would not format with the firewire connected - it would only format with the USB connection to the computer (per maxtor's web site). Once I got it formatted via USB, I tried to reconnect it via firewire 800, and the formatting was lost - the disk showed up as RAW file format. So I started over. The manual indicates a way to "erase" from the security settings section, but the option was not in the list for my installation. The only way to force a format was to change the Raid setting to Raid 1, then go back to Raid 0.

So I got it reformatted, and to top it all off, even connected via USB, the backup failed with a message that there was not enough disk space when trying to back up a 300GB disk on the computer with the Onetouch configured as Raid 0 (600GB) - actual formatted space was 558GB - that's a lot of overhead.

I don't know if I just got a bad one or what, but I've spent enough time on this. I'm going to give the WD Mybook a try instead.
