Samsung's DNIe™ Samsung's revolutionary DNle™ (click for demo) technology offers digital perfection in naturally presented, crystal-clear images that uncover even the most minute detail.

Contrast Enhancer Brightness and contrast levels are enhanced for deeper, richer blacks with greater detail and more natural whites.
Color Optimizer Colors are reproduced with a more lifelike realism, whites are more accurate, and skin tones are given a more natural hue.
Detail Enhancer DNIe analyzes video signal elements to produce sharper detail, clearer image separation, and more natural edge transition.
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 DLP set employs the latest Digital Micromirror Devices (DMD), which have switching speeds twice as fast as previous generation microdisplays and up to 1,000 times faster than competing technologies. When combined with Samsung's new Cinema Smooth 720p light engine, the result is a crisp, bright picture with deep, rich colors that are closer to film.
The HL-R5067W features a widescreen picture aspect ratio (16:9; standard TVs have a 4:3 aspect ratio), which is the ideal screen format for viewing widescreen video from DVD players and the growing availability of broadcast programming off digital HDTV tuners (HD content is always widescreen), cable boxes and satellite receivers.
The HL-R5067W's 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time, to reduce dramatically edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. Powered by SamsungOs Cinema Smooth technology, the 3:2 pulldown cinema video processing feature detects and compensates film--which is shot at 24 frames per second (fps) compared with video's 30 fps rate--to video for a smooth theater-like experience at home.
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 Automatic Digital Format Conversion System is compatible with 1080i and 720p HDTV formats, 480p EDTV and 480i SDTV formats. This system will accept any DTV, analog TV, or XGA computer RGB input. All video signals are converted to a 16:9 wide-screen pixel count (1280 x 720) progressive display for flicker-free images.
The 30-watt stereo audio system (two 15-watt speakers) delivers ample sound for sports and movies. It features the following video and audio connections:
AV in (RCA): 3 (1 side, 2 rear)
S-Video In: 3 (1 side, 2 rear)

COMPLETE JUNKJanuary 6, 2009 I have owned this Samsung DLP for 22 months. The TV has been inoperable for 20 of those months, starting from the day it came out of the box. Samsung customer service and "executive" customer service is a total joke. I have gone through 2 authorized repair companies, and have now proceeded to the State Attorney Generals office. I would not buy rubber dog poop with the Samsung logo! One star rating because I cannot submit a "NO STAR" rating.
Buy Samsung...Win a Free Gambling Excursion!May 21, 2008 Purchasing Samsung electronics means you're paying the company to go gambling! Not the fun kind, the expensive (losing) kind. If you get lucky, you get a piece of equipment that works as promised. If you don't...well, here's the story.
I purchased this television for around $2,000 two and a half years ago. It's sitting upstairs and the repairman says it will cost between $800-$1200 to fix it.
The light didn't burn out. The Light Engine did. Replacing the entire "insides" of this television is the only way to fix it. Tried the lamp, the ballast and even replaced the Color Wheel. Nope. It's really broken.
Of course, it's out of warranty. Samsung service (direct quote) "Have a Great Day!"
Now, I was just as enthused as everyone else here. I wonder how many would drop by to tell us "the rest of the story." You know, the ending.
I will probably hang on to this for another few years, if it lasts that long with entirely new internals. Next time, I think I will buy an LCD. It will not be a Samsung.
I have two Samsung LCD monitors. One has the very common flaw of an entire horizontal row of L-E-D's burned out. The other works just fine.
But when quality control means you can expect 1 out of 2 identical products to fail, well, that's not shopping, it's gambling.
UnreliableNovember 11, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have a 46" Samsung DLP and it had a DOA circuit board. My 50" Samsung DLP now has two boards (@ about $300 for one and $700 for the other) that must be replaced to get "menu" and subtitles and other graphics to work again! That's about 60% of the cost of the TV - and I will have to pay another $160 for each set to replace the projector bulbs. I knew about having to replace the bulbs but the bulb cost still increases the viewing cost per hour a lot. The 50" tv is only two years old and is seldom used so the cost per viewing hour is already way too high. I have owned GE and RCA TVs in the past and never had the problems I am having with the Samsung TVs. Both of the previous sets were decades old and still running fine when they were retired. I cannot recommend the Samsung products and will probably not buy the brand again.
Samsung is unreliableJuly 10, 2007 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
I own the previous model of this TV, and unless it has improved, don't buy it. Mine was out of warranty less than 5 months, and had 2 parts that needed replacing, for a total cost of 1500.00. I called Samsung and received only a rude response.
Great DLPApril 12, 2007 Samsung was one of the first to jump on the DLP wagon and they did a good job with this set. I have had mine for over one year now and it has been a very good television. The HD picture quality is as good as I have seen on a projection unit (less than 1080p.) DVDs and video games look fantastic on the HL-R5067W.
What does not look good, however, is regular definition content. Satellite or cable programming that is not in HD will be some what fuzzy and pixelated. Not so much that it is not watchable, though. This is a general issue with large DLP's and some LCD's though. It happens to be a bit worse with this particular model. On the other side of that, the HD image and DVD/Game picture was superior to the competitors.
In summary, if you watch mostly standard definition still, DLP and particularly this set, is probably not for you. Perhaps consider a Plasma since they are now entering this price range. If you watch more higher resolution content or are a console gamer, this is the best DLP I have seen, and the price has really come down since the 1080p sets are out now.
The remote control, hd-tuner, sound and osd are all solid and about the same as the competitors. This is a very good set, and even better at the current price.
