HDTV Review:
Samsung DLP Offers 'Low-Cost' 1080p
CNET gives the high-def set a score of 7.6 out of a possible 10.
By Phillip Swann

Washington, D.C. (November 26, 2006) -- Samsung's 56-inch DLP rear-projection HDTV is a great choice if you're looking for 1080p without breaking the budget.

That's according to a review by CNET.com, the technology web site.

CNET notes that the set, model
HL-S5687W, can be purchased for under $2,000 online, relatively inexpensive for a big-screen 1080p HDTV. In addition, the site says the Samsung display can "produce deep blacks and excellent shadow detail."

The site also likes that Samsung HDTV has two 1080p-compatible HDMI inputs.

On the negative side, CNET says the set suffers from "visible rainbows in some scenes," a slight blurry effect.

But overall, CNET gives the TV a score of 7.6 out of a possible 10.

"With a slick design, well-rounded features, and solid performance, the Samsung HL-S5687W is a top choice for people who want a 1080p big-screen but don't want to break the bank," the review said.
