Awesome TV

Strengths: Excellent Picture Quality, I can use it as a giant Computer monitor. Light weight, me and my wife can easily handle it. We just love this dream tv

Weakness: Price is a little bit higher than others.

I really don't understand where is the big difference between HL-S6187 and 88 except cable card. Anyway we have to get a card from Cox/comcast provider. I don't know how we can get free HDTV singanl without any card which doesn't come with TV. To catch the cutting edge tech I think we should go for this tv. You really will love this, compare to Mitshubishi 62" one.

I LOVE IT!!!!

Strengths: Picture quality, features, styling.

Weakness: Remote.

I am very happy with this set. Picture is great, set looks great. While I have other plasma and lcd hdtv's, I prefer to watch this one. Great feature set (gaming, VGA, photos). Also, Samsung customer service was fantastic when I called to ask a few questions. For the money, I would be hard pressed to pick a better HDTV for this size, with its features and appearance. Even though I don't...

Samsung HL-S6188W

Strengths: Sharp picture quality, stylish appearance on matcing stand.

Weakness: See detail below.

Purchased this particular TV after researching multiple brands. When it's good, it's really, really good, but when it's bad, well .....!!! Picture quality, clarity is excellent, best I've seen on the market for HD channels, but the picture is snowy on non-HD channels. Service tech blamed it on low input signal strength from the cable provider (-18), have corrected this, picture is somewhat better...

Samsung HL-S6188W

Strengths: great picture, slim cabinet, cable card support

Weakness: some rainbows, remote

I really love the HD picture this set delivers. It is very crisp. I like that they make the DNIe image processing an option in the setup. I find it makes analog images look nicer but I don't like using it as much for HD signals. I found that not only can you turn it on/off in the setup. You can also disable it for certain inputs just by setting the picture input to use the 'movie' setting. The...

Picture on this Samsung HL-S6188W is WOW!

Strengths: Picture quality, ease of operation, user manuels and looks!

Weakness: Remote control doesn't light up and it feels cheap!

I purchased the Sony KDS-R50XBR1 50" HDTV last week and was amazed at the picture quality (resolution and color) but didn't realize that this TV couldn't do true 1080P only 1080i so I exchanged it for the NEW Samsung HL-S6188W. I loved the picture while watching Direct TV HD but couldn't get a picture with my new Toshiba HD DVD. After spending almost an hour on the phone with tech support...

Samsung's New HL-S6188W Worth Wait For

Strengths: Ability to get HD over the Air from TV Stations in Atlanta Metro. Analog signals from Comcast produce unexpectedly high quality pictures. Digital Cable will have to wait.

Weakness: Users manuals for TV & TV Guide feature sometimes confusing. Users manuals on DVD would be great.

After waiting since Feb/Mar for one of the new generation DLP TVs from Samsung, I finally got an HL-S6188W delivered 06/13. It was worth the wait. The picture is excellent even though I have not had digital cable installed yet. A few channels are a bit grainy but most give a spectacular picture with vibrant colors. The remote has so much function that it is taking some time to master. A DVD...

SAMSUNG HL-S 6188W--SWEET TV

Strengths: The incredible gloss-black frame; brilliant HD picture--the best I've seen; easy setup; accessible plugs.

Weakness: Not as good as JVC's DILA technology on the non-HD channels.

The incredible glossy black, museum-style frame really makes the picture POP! After comparing the silver frames and the flat black frames side by side with this one, I simply cannot understand why every manufacturer isn't using this frame. It makes a big difference. I ordered the AVIA DVD setup disk, but this set looked perfect right out of the box. I will still use the disk. If it makes any...

Pictures looks awesome, remote control not so good

Strengths: Picture, price/power consumption/weight vs Plasma

Weakness: Remote, menu control is not so intuitive and is slow

I spent a long time pondering buying this TV vs Plasma. I am glad I picked this one. The picture is just as good as Plasma at 30% of Plasma price. And compare to a 7 year old Sony HDTV I have, the picture quality of HLS6188 is from another world. I can't believe they are both HD. Sony looked like SD vs this one. Because its depth is only 17 inches, it takes up a little more than the plasma TV...

Samsung HLS6188 61

Strengths: Excellent quality, excellent picture, excellent price. They best television on the market for the price

Weakness: Difficult to see from the side sometimes

I am so glad I bought this television. At first I was not sure that I wanted to by a Samsung. However, having bought this television, I know that it was the best choice. The quality is wonderful and all my friends love to come over to watch the big games. Not to mention, the video games look great. I highly recommend this television!

HLS6188 DLP

Strengths: The TV alone is a strength! When I pulled it out of the box and saw the sheer size of the screen compare

Weakness: The bright reflection from sunlight coming in the window. I fixed that though by repositioning the TV and getting better curtains.

We shopped around for a while for a TV and I wasn't sold on the idea of getting a DLP projection over a top LCD TV until I ran into the Samsung DLP. Out of all the DLP's, Samsung seemed to be light year ahead on the picture quality. The colors are great and I don't see any of the rainbow-ing that other reviews talk about. I was able to see it in other DLP brands though. The picture truely does...
