Summary: Gift for my brother
Comment: My brother loves this TV. Samsung makes great TVs BUT I have a problem with them on this one. Samsung shouldn't advertise this TV as having PIP (Picture-In-Picture) when it only has one tuner and therefore does NOT have PIP! Samsung's response, you CAN watch a TV channel AND a VCR or DVD player which we call PIP. Who wants that I ask? Your BAD Samsung!!

Comment: Samsung HLT5089S 50-inch Slim LED Engine 1080p DLP HDTV

Ordered this TV on Amazon site, Vanns fulfilled the order. The set arrived on time and in excellent condition. Despite being rear-projection it is very slim. Picture quality is excellent. I was a little concerned because I have read that DLP TV's are not great if viewed at an angle. While there is a slight decrease in the vibrancy of the color when not viewed directly, even at 45 degrees I think the picture is still very clear and bright. Excellent contract ration. With the LED engine, no noise, no rainbow. The set has so many inputs I can't use them all, 3 HDMI, two component, composite, etc.

Summary: Poor Quality Control
Comment: I did not get this TV from Amazon, but purchased through another retailer.

The TV was delivered yesterday and set-up. Out of the box the TV does not work. There is no RED. Only Blues and Greens. This is on all inputs and when you go into the setup screen to adjust colors you still can not get any reds in the picture. On top of that, even HDMI output from the DVD player looks very grainy. In the store the picture on this TV looked great, but quality control is horrible. There is no excuse for spending this much on a TV and having to get it repaired out of the box!!!!!!!

Unfortunately the place I bought it is forcing me to go through Samsung for the repair and will only replace it if Samsung can not fix. The first thing I will do if it is repaired, is sell it and go by something else. This is the first and LAST Samsung product I will ever buy. I went with DLP because, #1 I am affiliated with the chip maker and wanted to support my own products. #2 with the LED light sources I felt like I would get a TV that would last a long time.

Well I still want an LED DLP, just not Samsung.

Summary: Best Value in DLP
Comment: This television is amazing. The remote & menus take some getting used to but it has a bright, vibrant picture and the action scenes translate efficiently and clearly (watching the NCAA Tournament) with no blur. The LED light below the power button is annoying but this is most definitely the best value in DLP TV's with an LED light engine it should be nearly repair free over the lifetime of the product. I highly recommend this television.
