Samsung HL-R5678W - Excellent quality for price

Strengths: excellent picture, 1080p, HDMI ready, light weight, very affordable price

Weakness: the HD channels are so sharp, I find myself staying up way too late these days...really no complaints, yet @ 5 days of service.

I researched for a few weeks, watching the 50" version of this set...when i saw the extra 6" for only $150 more, it was really a no-brainer. If you are in the market for a 50"+ DLP, Samsung is the answer. you can't seem to touch sets of this size, with 1080p, for less than $800 more than this set cost me.

The best big HDTV for the price

Strengths: Optimal solution for BIG HDTV with 1080P.

Weakness: PC display is not quite as good as LCD.

I had 42' LCD TV but I wanted something bigger with 1080P. I think this is the optimal investment for big HDTV with 1080 resolution. Especially, the picture quality with 1080i input looks great. PC display was not what I hoped for because it is little blurry for details but if you watch movies from PC, it looks great. It might not be a good idea if you expect LCD quality out of DLP.

HL-R5678W Excellent one amoung others!

Strengths: Amazing and best picture quality. Greate features like 1080p & highest resolution available in the market. It is best & high quality tv among all models that I have seen.

Weakness: I dont see any major problems.

I was researching almost 6 months before buying this TV, I found that picture quality is amazing and easy to operate the most of features. I bought this TV just one month ago and I am using it regularly. It has got almost all features like contrast ratio and 1920X1080p ETC.., with the latest samsung model. If some body wants to buy with reasonable price with grate technology I would strongly...

Awesone 1080P HDTV ever seen!

Strengths: Higher contrast, clearer and sharper pictures for SD and HD signals.

Weakness: No 1080P input acceptable over HDMI ports.

Before I made the decision to buy the Samsung HL-R5678W, I have studied for quite a while. I searched the web and went to stores to compare it with other brands and 720P models side by side. The Sammy 1080P is an outperformer among the peers and it is easily picked for the top in the comparison. The picture quality of HL-R5678W is stunning! It has higher contrast and sharper picture with the HD...

It is great!

Strengths: Excellent picture and connections for external video sources

Weakness: Slow in recognizing the HDMI inputs

I’ve had my Samsung HLR5678 for several months now. it has an awesome picture. This is an excellent TV with abundance of video connections. I used the TV as my “video” switcher and a separate A/V receiver to switch the various audio sources. The only issue I have seen is the TV is somewhat slow in recognizing the HDMI inputs as being available when connected to an HDMI source.

Great HD TV

Strengths: Awesome picture quality

Weakness: None

56" Samsung TV was easy to set up and connect to get up and running. Awesome picture quality along with easy to understand instructions. 30 watt stereo sound is plenty. On screen remote instructions are easy to follow. Lots of options with component cable hook ups. I would definitely reccomend this unit for purchase!

Outstanding DLP TV

Strengths: The 56" Samsung 1080i DLP is the brightest, cleanest picture I found. It has great sharpness and contrast. The HD image makes tv viewing an experience beyond belief.

Weakness: NONE

This is a great TV. It is priced better than the Mitsubishi and has a brighter and sharper image. I am so happy with this purchase. I am now spoiled by the HD images and have a hard time watching regular broadcasts. I now cannot wait for all shows to be broadcast in HD. It is hard to believe that the picture will get even better once they broadcast 1080p signals

WOW!!

Strengths: Awsome HD picture. 2 HDMI outputs. Looks great.

Weakness: Remote could be better.

I have been looking for a HDTV for over a year. All I can ask myself now is "why did I wait so long?" This TV is more than I expected. I was prepared for non-hd channels to be blurry or not so clear, not the case. Of course they don't look near as good as HD, but very watch-able. I went with the 1080 even though everything is broadcast in 720 so my TV won't be outdated in 1 year. Occasionally I...
