HDTV Powerhouse

Featuring a thin bezel design that fits where others won't, Samsung's HLS5086W 50" widescreen DLP TV delivers the ultimate HDTV experience in true 1280 x 720p resolution. You'll enjoy lifelike, razor-sharp pictures in stunning color, contrast and clarity, thanks to the ultra-fast DLP and Brilliant Color technology and the DLP chip from Texas Instruments. A contrast ratio of up to 2500:1 captures blacker blacks, crisper whites and images that burst into life. And the unparalleled 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, making the HLS5086W ideal for sports, fast-action video and gaming. Unleashing the HLS5086W's powerful multimedia functionality are an optimized game mode, PC input, and two HDMI inputs. Best yet, Samsung's superior technology ensures no image burn-in effect for a reliable, long-lasting picture.

DLP Me ASAP

DLP TV by 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 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. Now in its fifth generation, Samsung's Cinema Smooth light engine delivers crisp, 720p high definition resolution with high contrast and brightness, defined edges and sharp detail. It releases the maximum power of the new generation of DMD microdisplays for the most film-like picture. It creates an image with no visible pixel structure and accurate shading and better low-light detail.

Enhanced Images

Samsung's 2.6" 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 and eliminates the pixel breakup found in slower color wheel designs and slower-switching LCD microdisplays. Air Bearing technology makes it whisper quiet. Samsung's exclusive 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 fourth generation, DNIe guarantees the truest colors and highest contrast, while virtually eliminating digital artifacts. With the HLS5086W's My Color Control, you can pick tones -- the green of the grass and the blue of the sky -- just the way you like, without affecting the other colors on the screen. The three major colors can be adjusted to perfectly fit your taste. Self expression meets display perfection.

Making Movies Come To Life

The HLS5086W'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 -- the perfect setting when enjoying movies with the lights off. Powered by Samsung's Cinema Smooth technology, 3:2 Pull Down corrects for the artificial frames created when films are coverted to DVDs. The result is a clearer image without the subtle motion artifacts caused by 24-to-30 frames per second video conversion.

Make Some Connections

The HLS5086W has lots of connections, including 2 HDMI inputs. HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) addresses both pure digital audio and video performance and simplifies connections from the new generation set-top boxes and DVD players by reducing cable connections to one cable and plug. PC inputs mean your HLS5086W can also function as a high-quality WXGA PC monitor. Another great option are the two smart component video (Y/Pb/Pr) inputs for your DVD and DTV sources that accept 480p, 720p and 1080i signals.

Let The Games Begin

A special game mode on the HLS5086W helps you get the most out of your gaming adventures. This 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. And all of this happens at the touch of a button.

Easy Entertainment

There are lots of features on the HLS5086W that help you get the most out of all the sources you watch, and make it easy to operate. An integrated HDTV tuner delivers the world of free off-air DTV and HDTV local broadcast channels with the addition of a suitable VHF antenna. Picture format size adjustment lets you enjoy all of your 4:3 aspect ratio programming in smooth, wide-screen without black bars. Four preset aspect ratio modes -- Normal, Wide, Zoom 1 and Zoom 2 -- stretch your image to fill the screen naturally. A 3-line digital comb filter dramatically reduces edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. Previous Channel returns you to the previously viewed channel at the push of a button, while V-Chip enables parental control for channel and program blocking of TV programs that incorporate the rating code signal. There's a clock with on/off timer and Closed Caption displays dialog that can be read along with encoded broadcast TV programs and pre-recorded videos. Non Volatile Memory preserves audio, video and menu settings during power outages, and and Auto Volume Leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing to minimize static sound bursts.
