Improved image, worse audio

Date of Review:  May 9, 2006
The Bottom Line: Bought it for the built-in HD tuner, larger 50" screen in space of former 46" DLP set. I believe this is best 50" DLP value today.
Review: I've been hooked on Samsung DLP TV since their first generation was introduced and have seen the latest models each year at Consumer Electronics Show (CES in Vegas).

HL-S5086W is the latest 50" which appeared at retailers in April 2006...

Samsung TV

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2006
The Bottom Line: I like this tv, because its images are the best.
Review: I like television shows. I like watching sports as well. My old reliable Sony television finally conked out, so I decided to buy something that would guarantee enjoyable viewing. After comparing different models, I decided on my Samsung 50"...

Great TV for the price

Date of Review:  Jan 14, 2007
Review: This TV gets a lot of knocks for the sound, but if you're a home theater novice, like myself, then it sounds great. The picture takes some time to get used to and it's helped with component cables or s-video. It seems that the expanded basic/movie...

Great HDTV for the $

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2007
Review: It took me a long time to buy an HDTV (it was mostly convincing my wife). I had my eyes on the Samsung and the Sony, but after a lot of research decided the HLS50 was the way to go.

Samsung had addressed the "GAME LAG" and you can turn the...

One of the Best HD TVs under $2,500 (BUT) Up-Convert Is Lacking

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: Great TV for the price, HD picture is incredible, but Up-Convert dissapoints on normal programming. If the up-convert were corrected picture would be 5 stars.
Review: The SAMSUNG HL-S5086W 50" inch DLP High Definition HDTV

OVERVIEW:

A contrast ratio of up to 2500:1 captures blacker blacks, crisper whites and images that burst into life. DLP chip, with millions of tiny mirrors that switch on...

Worst TV I've ever seen

Date of Review:  Nov 24, 2007
Review: I received this TV as a gift less than a year ago and can honestly say that it has the worst picture I have ever seen on a projection device. The colors run into one another and the images look like a poorly painted cartoon. A grid of horizontal...

If you happen to get a lemon

Date of Review:  Jul 14, 2006
Review: Yes, Samsung DLP's produce a terrific image quality, but if you happen to get hardware problems within a Samsung TV, good luck!

In my case, three tuners later it still doesn't produce what it's suppose to and Samsung is ignoring my...

Samsung HL-S5086W 50 in. HDTV Television We Love It

Date of Review:  Jul 10, 2006
Review: Bought it a few months ago after 3 months of intensive research of other "42" to 55" big screens". Came down to the Sony and Samsung but we decided on Samsung's DLP technology. We are so glad (so far) we picked our Samsung. No problems. Easy hookup...
