A TV With All The Features You Need

Thanks to a new, long-lasting LED light engine, the Full HD (1920 x 1080p) picture of the HLT6187S DLP HDTV will last as long as the set. An ultra-thin, piano-black bezel around the 61" screen lets you enjoy more screen and less frame. Its slim depth, light weight and hidden speaker system allow the set to fit where others won't. Samsung's Cinema Smooth light engine delivers the widest range of brilliant colors, while a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio renders every picture in perfect detail, from the darkest darks to brightest whites, and every tone in between. SRS TruSurround XT delivers sound that is clear and full. Three HDMI inputs grace your digital movies, photos and more with greater color depth, while a USB 1.1 port and other inputs allow full connectivity. Game Mode optimizes performance, so avid gamers will marvel at the lifelike action. And even with all these advanced features, the HLT6187S is remarkably energy-efficient.

Ride The Light Wave Of The Future

Say goodbye to incandescent lamps and color wheels in Samsung's DLP television models. Samsung has perfected LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting for their rear projection televisions, and it benefits you in more ways than you might imagine. First, because the LED replacces the arc lamp, you won't have to pay for a replacement bulb or worry about changing out the bulb for the life of the television. LED lasts considerably longer than incandescent technology, and uses less energy to run. So you're saving money on the bulb itself and on the energy needed to run the TV. Samsung has also replaced the older color wheel method of creating colors with LED technology. The benefit here is that the resulting ultra-wide color gamut actually exceeds the NTSC defined color space, so you'll see better color performance out of the TV. Plus, the noise from the spinning color wheel is eliminated, and, again, less energy is required to run the color system. In fact, the HLT6187S is so energy efficient it qualifies for ENERGY STAR rating from the government. Altogether, the LED technology in Samsung's new line of DLP televisions is true, advanced solid-state design with high output, lower power consumption, and energy saving, high-performance design.

The Engine Driving A Brilliant Picture

Samsung is the worldwide leader in creating light engines that harness DLP HDTV technology from Texas Instruments. Samsung's Cinema Smooth light engine brings together the right optics, electronic circuitry and replaceable light source to create a brilliant picture that's more lifelike and much closer to film. Now in its sixth year of evolution, Samsung's Cinema Smooth light engine delivers crisp, 1080p high definition resolution with high contrast and brightness, defined edges and sharp detail. Samsung employs a Texas Instruments DLP chip that is comprised of millions of microscopic mirrors. The DLP chip is faster than any other HDTV technology, with the mirrors switching on and off 15,000 times a second to deliver a razor-sharp picture for fast moving images. When combined with Samsung's new Cinema Smooth light engine, the result is a crisp, bright picture with deep, rich colors that's closer to film.

Better Than Ever

The HLT6187S's wide screen aspect ratio means your screen is filled with DVD and HDTV images which are increasingly available and presented in wide screen formats. The Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) makes the sharpest and clearest images possible, regardless of the profile of input signals. Five image processors and a six-times density enhancer ensure the best picture from any source. Now in its sixth generation (since 2002), DNIe guarantees the truest colors and highest contrast, while virtually eliminating digital artifacts. With My Color Control, you can customize pink, green, and blue colors to your taste without affecting the other colors on the screen. Add to that a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, and you'll see details you've never picked up before.

Tune In To A Variety Of Sources

When it comes to displaying pictures how you want to see them, Samsung TVs get the job done. Built-in analog tuners allow you to connect with an RF signal cable directly to the set and watch "regular" TV right out of the box, or use the integrated ATSC tuner or clear QAM to pick up high definition programs broadcast over the air or through cable. HDMI inputs mean you have access to the most current video technology available, and component, composite and S-video inputs allow you to connect your older components.

Movies The Way They Were Meant To Be Seen

With all that access to various entertainment sources, it's nice to know that no matter what you're watching, you're seeing it how it was meant to be. Samsung's Cinema Mode lets you see colors the way the director intended, by matching them more closely to production standards. This creates more accurate colors and natural skin tones when viewing Hollywood movies on your TV. Which brings us to another issue. What about the difference in frame rates between film and television? Film is shot at 24 frames per second, while television programming runs at 30 frames per second. Samsung includes Cinema Smooth Film Mode 3:2 Pull Down to correct 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.

For All The Gamers

What good is a killer video game system without a killer display to get you involved in the action? Samsung addresses gamers' needs in two ways: game mode and 3D HD compatibility. Game mode enhances dark areas, sharpens the picture, speeds up the image processing response, and enhances the sounds of your games. Picture and sound quality are optimized for the special needs of gaming systems at the touch of a button. With an eye toward the future, Samsung also built in 3D HD ready capability. The HLT6187S is capable of displaying future 3D games, movies, and other programming via 3D compatible glasses and hardware. Be ready for the next generation of games.

Sounds As Good As It Looks

With all this great video technology, it's hard to imagine the HLT6187S can get any better. But the audio technology included just rounds out this package of perfection. The two 10-watt speakers are boosted with SRS TruSurround XT, a patented technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through any two-speaker playback system, including internal television speakers and headphones. It is fully compatible with all multichannel formats up to 6.1 channels. Plus, the hidden speaker system, means for all that powerful sound, you won't be staring at inches of speaker.
