The Samsung HL61A650 offers the sharpest and clearest images available in an HDTV. Despite its impressive 61″ display the HL61A650 is surprisingly thin at only 15.4″ deep. TruSurround XT powered by 20W provides realistic surround sound without any rear speakers.

The HL61A650’s DLP chip is faster than any other HDTV technology, with millions of mirrors switching on and off 15,000 times a second to deliver ultra-sharp picture for fast moving images. When combined with Samsung’s Cinema Smooth light engine, the result is a crisp, bright picture with deep, rich colors that is closer to film. A high contrast ratio provides blacker blacks, sharper whites and vibrant colors. The 61″ panel’s precise, sharp picture and fast process speeds make this screen ideal for sports, fast action shows and movies, and gaming.

The Wiselink USB port turns this TV into a 61″ picture frame when you plug in your USB flash drive or listen to your favorite MP3 files. Three HDMI inputs allow you to connect your HD components enjoy a pure-digital one-cable connection.

Samsung’s 3D-enabled HDTVs, which play at 120 frames per second, deliver two separate streams of 3D video; one to the left eye, the other to the right. This syncs up with active glasses, which alternate images between the two eyes at a speed of 120th of a second, so you enjoy 3D video without any distracting flicker.

There are two main HD resolutions in use today by HD broadcasters and other sources: 1080i and 720p. One is not necessarily better than the other; 1080i has more lines and pixels, but 720p is a progressive-scan format that should deliver a smoother image that stays sharper during motion. Another format is also becoming better known: 1080p, which combines the superior resolution of 1080i with the progressive-scan smoothness of 720p. True 1080p content is extremely scarce, however, and none of the major networks have announced 1080p broadcasts. The term 1080p today appears mostly in reference to the displays’ native resolution, not the source.

Like all Samsung “A650″ DLP sets, this model employs the latest generation DLP™ (Digital Light Processing) chip to deliver a vibrant, high-contrast picture. DLP is one of the fastest HDTV display technologies — the image chip’s microscopic mirrors switch on and off 15,000 times per second to create razor-sharp images with smooth, smear-free motion. DLP is a great choice for gamers, sports fans, and action movie aficionados. The HL61A650’s 1080p screen resolution lets you enjoy all of the fine detail in every HD source you watch.
