Editorial Reviews: 
Enjoy better pictures with the Samsung's HL-T6187 DLP HDTV. The piano black bezel is just 0.6-inch wide so the slim depth lets it fit where others won't. The energy-efficient 61-inch screen features a powerful, long-lasting LED light engine that turns on almost instantly. Full HD 1080p resolution and Samsung Cinema Smooth technology deliver a wide range of brilliant colors, with bright images and crisp definition. The blackest blacks, brightest whites and nuanced tones are yours with a 10000:1 dynamic-contrast ratio. Hidden speakers deliver clear, robust SRS TruSurround XT sound. The 120Hz switching speed and Game Mode keep gamers marveling at the lifelike action. A wide range of audio, video and HDMI inputs allow digital connectivity to Cable/Satellite boxes, Blu-ray players, AV receivers and more. Please note: Samsung recently changed the suffix on this TV from HLT-6187X-XAA to HLT-6187SAX. The change was not technical in nature and there is no difference other than the suffix in the model number.

Samsung's LED color and light engine
The revolutionary new LED system available on Samsung DLP HDTVs offers better color, and energy efficiency.
LED (Light Emitting Diode) for modern color realization
Samsung's new LED light engine replaces the arc lamp & color wheel design of previous DLP HDTVs, and realizes beautiful color. LED will last the life of the TV. Samsung LED DLP TVs eliminate the need to replace the consumable lamps every few years, and thus have less impact on the environment and on one?s wallet. Samsung's LED light engine makes possible an Ultra-Wide Color Gamut that exceeds the NTSC defined color space spec for richer color than you've seen before on TV. Samsung DLP HDTVs with an LED engine are more energy efficient than similar sized flat panel displays, and the lack of a moving color whell in the design means they perform with less noise than any previous DLP HDTV design.

Samsung Cinema Smooth light engine
Samsung's Cinema Smooth light engine create's images with a smoother, more film-like appearance.
Cinema Smooth Light Engine
Samsung is the worldwide leader in creating light engines that harness DLP HDTV technology from Texas Instruments. Samsung?s Cinema Smooth light engine brings together the right optics, electronic circuitry and replaceable light source to create a brilliant picture that?s more lifelike and much closer to film. Now in its sixth year of evolution, Samsung?s Cinema Smooth light engine delivers crisp, 1080p High Definition resolution with high contrast and brightness, defined edges and sharp detail.

Next Generation DLP Chips from Texas Instruments
Samsung employs a Texas Instruments DLP chip that is comprised of millions of microscopic mirrors. The DLP chip is faster than any other HDTV technology, with the mirrors switching on & off 15,000 times a second to deliver a razor-sharp picture for fast moving images. When combined with Samsung?s new Cinema Smooth light engine, the result is a crisp, bright picture with deep, rich colors that?s closer to film.

Samsung Cinema Smooth light engine
SRS TruSurround offers a surround sound experience from only two speakers.
SRS TruSurround Samsung HDTVs are equipped with the best that technology can offer in sound quality. Even when viewing regular broadcasts, Samsung's two speaker surround sound makes you feel as if the theater has been brought to your living room.

Samsung DLP Products are all Lemons
1 out of 5 stars.
I own a Samsung 50 inch DLP. It was beautiful until I hooked my XBox up to it and almost the day after the warrenty was up, it broke. After googleing the "shut-off" problem, I found out it is a common issue with ALL Samsung DLPs; which sometimes they can't fix!!! I have no extended warrenty and am screwed.
Google samsung DLP problems before buying.

Great TV for the value
4 out of 5 stars.
I have owned this TV since Oct of 2007 and I still enjoy it. The DLP has great color and the picture in HD looks amazing. The great thing about a DLP is that you don't have to worry about doing any proper "burn in". Just get this TV, plug it in and enjoy. The only con about the tv is that the built in speakers suck. I recommend buying a nice surround sound system and hook it up to the TV to get maximum enjoyment out of each and every movie.

LED Engine
5 out of 5 stars.
Great TV. I've had this for several months now, and it produces a beautiful image, only slightly less "brilliant" than a LCD panel. The piano black finish is stunning, but does get smudged easily. I don't use the internal speakers or amp, so I can't attest to this unit's sound quality, but image quality is superb. The only complaint I have is that every time the input signal changes ever so slightly, the HDMI port switches to "searching for signal" for about 15 seconds. This gets annoying. I currently have it connected to a Denon 3808 via HDMI, and all my other equipment is connected to the Denon (i.e. the only cable going to the TV is a HDMI cable). Whenever I switch from the DTV to the HTPC (or to and fro any other component) the TV goes into "Searching for signal" for about 15 seconds. I'm learning to live with it, but it's annoying. Other than that, great TV. I had heard about a "darker band through the middle", but I haven't experienced that at all.

Samsung 61 inch DLP television
5 out of 5 stars.
Couldn't be happier with our new Samsung TV. Incredible color and clarity. Love watching sporting events on HD.

only issue - off axis viewing
4 out of 5 stars.
Great picture, decent sound, all the right hookups and a great deal. The only issue with this tv, as with all rear projections, is off-axis viewing. Sitting to the side, lower or higher reduces the image quality.
