After comparing the major brands, I decided to buy a Samsung HLS5088W DLP TV. The last two I selected are Sony Grand WEGA KDSR50XBR1 50’ TV and this Samsung baby. The Sony has the same screen size, but overall size is much wider. One food extra space (57.25’ - 45.4’ = 11.85’) consumed by Sony is not necessary, given the same screen size and not a big improvement of sound quality. Another...
Strengths: Crisp images, bright colors - excellent HD Viewing Size - Only 60 pounds - very light and very easy to manuver and move with 2 people also has a very slim fit at only 15.6 inches deep
Weakness: Analog signal is not great -- but better than most sets. More a function of the broadcast signal than anything else
After waiting 2 years and keeping an eye on the Samsung DLP sets, we made the leap and bought this unit. The picture is truly beautiful in HD and if you have not experienced HD on such a large screen in your own home, it will BLOW you away. The colors are rich and deep - it feels like you can reach into the screen and be there. TV has a sleek design with the piano black finish which is a big plus...
Strengths: Stunning Picture, Lots of options for picture adjustment, very good black levels/detail.
Weakness: Slight pincushion problem.
I love this set! Started out with an 42" LCD but didn't like the loss of black detail & pixelating on sports. Went with the Samsung HL-S5088 & couldn't be happier. It has an absolutely stunning picture compared to my previous LCD set. Think right now u can also get more size for your money too. Has many available picture adjustments in the menu so u can get just the colors u want. The only...
Strengths: Black & White Contrast is superior. Connectivity is good - USB port in particular, appearance is awesome
Weakness: about a 20 second delay for picture to appear, speakers are good but could be improved
This is a great DLP set and is the primary set in the house. Hook up to your surround sound and you'll feel like you're at the movies. This is a full feature set, including the tuner for an excellent price. I compared it line by line to the Sony XBR and couldn't see enough of a difference to justify the price difference. The contrast ratio is incredible. The remote is simple and the set operates...
Strengths: Stunning Picture at low price. Easy Menu system. Bright Picture. Great Colors. High Definition.
Weakness: Occasionaly if I accidently turn off then on quickly it sounds like a fan is grinding due to contact with other components.
I've had this TV for a few months now. It was simple to setup. It has a TV Guide feature that's nice if you don't have digital. (I don't want to pay for it) I plan to use this TV with a XBox 360 HD DVD player. So far though just by plugging this TV set in and configuring I was able to pick up High Def channels (repeats of lower channels) and Music Choice channels at no extra cost for my basic...
Strengths: Fantastic picture Value for the money PIP Dual HDMI inputs
Weakness: Some pixelation with standard signal Not the best sound, but who uses this w/o external speakers
I have this TV hooked up to a Yamaha 7.1 receiver, Axiom speakers and two DirecTV HD receivers. When viewing in HD, the picture is fantastic. Standard signal and better than my other TV, but some channels just don't look very good. One of my receivers will not work with the HDMI input. I believe this to be the receiver's issue, as the other receiver works fine on that input. I've only been using...

Love the Picture....when it works.....
Strengths: Great picture Super package Love it when is works
Weakness: Poor Customer Service More down time thant up time I have had the set replaced 4 times and the 5th TV is ALSO BAD
Samsung, having had FIVE (5) Failed units in on a few months, three could not be repaired, one was dead out of the box, one took me 4 1/2 months to get a replacement and now yet another with a problem shipped to me from the factory that severely impacts the viewabilty of the television you must look into you manufacturing / quality control procedures and find a solution to send out a quality...
