    With the HL-S5679W, Samsung didn’t try to reinvent the wheel, they eliminated it altogether the color wheel, that is. Until now, every big-screen TV based on DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology required a color wheel and arc lamp to provide color and illumination. While that system creates crisp, clean high-definition images, a few viewers occasionally notice distracting flashes of color called rainbows. These rainbows are caused by the spinning color wheel.

    The HL-S5679W’s DLP chip is amongst the fastest in any HDTV, with millions of mirrors switching on & off 15,000 times a second to deliver ultra-sharp picture for fast moving images. When combined with Samsung’s LED, which replaces arc lamp & color wheels and creates beautiful color with a superior 20,000 hour life. A contrast ratio of 10,000:1 provides blacker blacks, sharper whites and vibrant colors. The HL-S5679W’s precise, sharp picture and fast process speeds make this screen ideal for sports, fast action shows, movies and gaming.

    Right now, if you buy an HDTV without 1080i or 1080p capabilities, your TV is not all it should be. When you are viewing HDTV programming on your satellite or cable (or even your off-air antenna), most likely the signal is decoded in 720p or 1080i. Sure there is some debate about what makes a better picture, 720p or 1080i - but without 1080i capabilities - you’re not going to be able to judge this for yourself. To understand what kind of money you need to buy an LCD model with basically the same features as this Samsung DLP, compare the Sharp Aquos LCD 57″ model (LC57D90U) and you’ll be shelling out around $9,000.
