Amazon.com Product Description Samsung's HL-P5063W displays 50 inches of inviting widescreen viewing, elegantly framed in an ultra-light, thin-bezel cabinet. Weighing under 78 pounds and standing less than 15 inches deep, the high-definition-ready HL-P5063W offers more screen and less bulk. But it offers more than just quantity of screen: it's also engineered for quality.
The secret to this DLP (Digital Light Processing) projection set's quality is its Emmy-winning technology from Texas Instruments. Samsung has combined its proprietary Cinema Smooth Gen 3 HD light engine and advanced optic enhancements with a single, postage-stamp-sized Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) capable of generating high-definition video images with film-like resolution, deep blacks, and robust colors. Samsung's Cinema Smooth light engine enhances brightness while ensuring an incredible 1,500:1 contrast ratio.
Texas Instruments' DMD panel is immune to the factors that can cause other displays to deteriorate with use, imparting a longer life expectancy than that of cathode ray tube (CRT) sets, plasma display panels, and liquid crystal display systems (LCD, LCoS, HTPS).
A host of advanced digital interfaces and video inputs make non-issues of connectivity challenges and future proofing. Hang it, mount it, rest it on a stand, or move it just about anywhere, anytime. The screen's surface is nearly 100 percent reflective, and its lightning-quick switching speeds make it twice as fast as earlier designs and nearly 1,000 times faster than competing micro-display technologies.
The HL-P5063W's automatic digital-format conversion system converts any input (whether DTV, analog TV, or XGA computer sources at 1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i) to a progressive, 16:9 widescreen image with a 1,280 x 720 pixel count. A 3D Y/C digital comb filter dramatically reduces image-edge artifacts while improving transition detail, and the set's HD ultra-fine-pitch (.155 mm) screen further clarifies images, especially when you're viewing high-resolution sources like DVD and HDTV.
Samsung's Cinema Smooth Film Mode 3:2 Pull Down correction circuitry addresses digital distortion in 480i (interlaced) video signals generated from 24 frames-per-second film.
Finally, Samsung DNIe video enhancer (Digital Natural Image engine) works with all analog NTSC and wideband video signals for improvements in contrast, white level, and picture detail, incorporating digital noise reduction to improve lower-quality sources.
The set offers digital-video inputs in 2 formats. A DVI-HDTV interface with HDCP copy protection permits all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with an analog interface, and an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) jack channels both digital audio and video to simplify connections with newer DTV set-top boxes and DVD players by reducing hookups to just a single cable and plug.
Other inputs include dual HDTV component-video inputs (480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i) for high-definition satellite receivers, HDTV tuners, and HD cable boxes with component video outputs (Y, Pb, Pr); 3 each composite- and S-video inputs; and 2 RF coaxial inputs for antennas or older VCRs or cable boxes. An audio/video output permits hookup with an external device such as a surround-sound receiver.
A 15-watts-per-channel (x2) audio system with a pair of 2-way speakers comes with built-in SRS TruSurround XT, which simulates compelling surround sound through any stereo playback system, including headphones and the TV's speakers.
Last but far from least, onboard 2-tuner PIP with side-by-side split-screen viewimng grants convenient simultaneous viewing of 2 TV programs, while a supplied universal remote control permits control of the TV, a DVD player, a VCR, and a tuner/surround receiver.

Samsung HLP5063W is a great valueNovember 29, 2008 I bought this unit in August, 2004 and love it! I probably overpaid as this was "new" technology back then. I bought the 4 year extended warranty from Best Buy and had the DLP bulb replaced twice. Each time the bulb was replaced it was not absolutely necessary but hey, I paid for the extra warranty... I'm using component input cables from my Denon AVR-1905 and am considering upgrading to the AVR-1909 so I can connect to the Samsung with HDMI. I just got a Blu-ray player and am shopping for the AVR-1909 but I'm struggling with a reason to upgrade the TV. This Samsung has been a real winner. I'd like to get a 58" LCD or Plasma but will probably wait for this DLP to break down. I's strongly recommend a Samsung DLP to anyone in the market.
I like itNovember 2, 2008 I've had mine for three years. It was the product of the year in 2005 when I bought it. The only problem I've had (and I haven't tried to get it fixed) is I can't use the component inputs because they have some kind of short in them. I use the other inputs instead. Maybe I'll get the component inputs fixed some day, who knows. But it hasn't been something I've had to do so I haven't done it. I have been wanting to get a Blu-Ray player but the salesman I spoke to said the 720p output of my TV isn't the ideal output for Blu-Ray and I would be wasting my money. I need a TV that supports 1080p. Well, I'm not ready for a new TV just yet so the Blu-Ray will have to wait I guess..
Functions well when it functions at allFebruary 29, 2008 While I like the picture, sound and features, within 1 year the TV ceased to work. The warranty repair involved replacing nearly everything, and took nearly 2 weeks. I wasn't particularly happy dealing with Samsung service. Although I ultimately got a functioning TV back, I still deal with intermittent problems getting the TV to start. This is accompanied by apparently diagnostic sequences of flashing lights on the front. Unfortunately, the Samsung web site is not helpful decoding those lights, and I'm not interested in talking with their unpleasant support folks. I just wait for the day the thing refuses to start, at which point I'll be done with my Samsung experiment. Not recommended.

I bought this TV two years ago to the month and have had no problems with it at all, still has the original bulb. My CC warranty is up in two weeks and i'm wondering whether to renew it or just buy a new bulb online and replace myself. The picture has been great for the past 24 months. I don't have the TV in a entertainment center so it doesn't have a chance to heat up, it just sit out in the open so it cools off nicely.
