Get the sharpest and clearest images possible from HD and standard TV
with with the 50-inch Samsung HL-S5087W DLP television, which features a
full progressive HD 1920 x 1080-pixel reslution digital format converter
for all inputs (and true 1920 x 1080p picture from via HDMI). A contrast
ratio of up to 10000:1 captures blacker blacks, crisper whites and
images that burst into life. And the high-speed of the DLP chip, with
millions of tiny mirrors that switch on and off over 15,000 times per
second, delivers a precise, razor-sharp picture. It has a built-in
analog/digital (NTSC/ATSC) tuner, offers both HDMI and component video
connections, . It also features a smaller footpring than other
high-definition TVs (with a "hidden speaker" thin bezel), fitting where
many other large-screen HDTVs won't.
Samsung's DNIe Samsung's DNIe (click for demo) technology offers digital perfection in naturally presented, crystal-clear images that uncover even the most minute detail. |
Motion Optimizer: The visual data are automatically broken down into signal and noise and adjusted through a combined spatial/temporal process to eliminate noise and blurring without the slightest damage to the original signal. This guarantees the viewer a picture of astounding sharpness, whether the scene is still or moving. |
 Contrast Enhancer: DNIe has done away with the unwanted side-effects that conventional contrast enhancement can produce, such as noise boost-up and flicker by developing an algorithm that recognizes over 1 million criteria for applying contrast. Its detail contrast enhancement technology can automatically analyze up to 70,000 local images within a frame, treating the viewer to a picture rich in contrast even in the tiniest details. |
 Color optimizer: For each scene the color optimizer calculates the saturation of red, green, and blue in the input signal and adjusts it to the shades that the human eye accepts as natural. Even a conventional process like white tone enhancement produces more striking results when when used with DNIe. The end result is a palette of vivid hues and pure white tones to satisfy the most discerning viewers eye. |
 Detail enhancer: Many viewers complain of the unnatural effect that conventional uniform detail enhancement produces by relying on artificial amplification of the input signal. In contrast, DNIe automatically analyzes the portion to be amplified, detecting and re-processing any noise or defect to bring the viewer a startlingly sharp and lifelike image. |
DLP (which stands for Digital Light
Processing) uses an optical semiconductor to recreate source material
with a fidelity analog systems can't match. While other technologies
lose a certain amount of light in transit, the microscopic mirrors in a
DLP projection system bring more light from lamp to screen. It also
features better color uniformity over time--no burn-in, screen aging or
color-shifting possible. It's the leading display technology for
products like small portable conference room projectors and professional
venue entertainment systems. This Samsung DLP television employs a Texas Instruments DLP chip that
is comprised of millions of microscopic mirrors. The DLP chip is faster
than any HDTV technology, with the mirrors switching on and off 15,000
times a second to deliver a razor-sharp picture for fast moving images.
It also offers Samsung's Cinema Smooth Gen 7 1080p Light Engine, which
creates a picture with no visible pixel structure for a captivating,
theater-quality experience. You'll get up to a 10000:1 contrast ratio
with outstanding colors and deep black levels.
The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines
all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in
picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and
incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video
inputs. The 3-line digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three
dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture
changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while
improving transition detail. Samsung's Cinema Smooth 3:2 pull-down film
mode corrects for the artificial frames created when films are converted
to DVDs. The result is a clearer image without the subtle motion
artifacts caused by 24-to-30 frames per second video conversion.
Samsung's 2.6-inch color wheel spins at 14,400 rpm for smooth, fast
motion video, and has five color segments for more accurate colors. It
achieves film-like transitions without pixel breakup found in slower
color wheel designs and slower switching LCD microdisplays. Air Bearing
technology also makes it whisper quiet.
Samsung also worked closely with Microsoft to create a special Game
Mode that optimizes image quality, sound and response time for more
realistic video game play--with just a single touch of a button. The
Game Mode enhances dark areas, sharpens the picture, speeds up the image
processing response and enhances the sounds of your games.
Other features include:
- Picture format adjustment: Enjoy all your 4:3
aspect-ratio programming in smooth, wide-screen without black bars. Four
pre-set aspect ratio modes--Normal, Wide, Zoom 1 and Zoom 2--stretch
your image to fill the screen naturally. - Color temperature adjustment:
Selectable between Cool1, Cool2, Normal Warm1, and Warm2 with on-screen
display. - Auto volume leveler: Keeps audio volume consistent during
channel changing to minimize static sound bursts. - Discrete IR codes:
This set is equipped with discrete IR codes for use with a
macro/programmable remote. - Closed caption: Displays dialog that can be
read along with encoded broadcast TV programs and pre-recorded videos.
- V-Chip: Enables parental control for channel and program blocking of TV
programs that incorporate the rating code signal.
High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the
speakers built into the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an
amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass. It
produces 10 watts of power per channel (for 20 watts total). This set
utilizes Samsung's Dual Acoustic Chamber System technology, which
isolates each woofer and tweeter in its own chamber. DACS is a
revolutionary, computer-simulated technology that enhances lowrange
sound performance, sharpens mid-to-high-range sound quality, and
improves overall sound clarity. It offers the following connection
options:
- Component (Y/Pb/Pr): 2 inputs
- HDMI: 2 inputs
- Composite (RCA
audio/video): 3 inputs (1 on the front) - S-Video: 2 inputs
- PC: 1 D-Sub-15
input - PC audio: 1 input
- RF: 1 input
- Sound monitor output: 1
- USB: 1
Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video
interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD
player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI
supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel
digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard
(SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).
SRS TruSurround XT audio adds three new audio enhancement technologies
to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.
- Dialog Clarity
brings movie dialog into ÒfocusÓ during the playback of any
surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
- TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive
significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the
physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself. - The SRS WOW
feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo
material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic
improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker
system.
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack
video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue
color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in
increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate
picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would
get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You
will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound. What's in the Box
DLP TV, remote control (with batteries), power cord,
