Attention Gamers: This review is for you.
When I first started looking at buying an HDTV I talked to my friends that had them. The response I got was, "DO NOT BUY SAMSUNG!" My friend had an early model of the DLP 50" and sent it back after a week. The problem he had was with sound and video not syncing due to the delay caused by up-converting to 1080p. This was particularly bad when it came to video games and there would be a 250 millisecond delay between a button push and an action on screen. This made timing particularly difficult, wh...

Excellent TV! Amazing Price!
I spent months researching HDTV's and finally pulled the trigger on this Samsung. Shipping was fast and the delivery was easy- although the fastest way to get the TV, is to call EGL once Amazon has delivered it to them and schedule an appointment yourself. Don't wait for them to call. I called them on a Monday morning and they were able to deliver it that same afternoon. They brought it into the house, helped me set it on the TV stand and offered to take the box away (which I kept in case I need...

Great TV
Great TV. Bought in late December for all the games in early 2007. Great picture and great performance. I initially hooked it up with component cables and later switched to HDMI. Did not notice a difference in picture quality but the sound was much better with HDMI. I thought I was having problems with the TV at first and based on the input from my local cable company I returned the first one. When the second TV had the same problems I decided the cable signal was the problem added a cable...

HL-S5679 56" LED.
I bought the TV the first of March and it was delivered on the 17th of March. The picture is great as long as the scene on the program you are watching has plenty of light. Like football games or any sports programs. However I have watched several movies and when it is a dark scene there is a haze on the walls of a room or when I watched the movie U-571 on DVD the underwater scenes were so distorted you could hardly tell there was a sub in the water.Also on the series 24 in dark scenes their fac...

Not for me
I was so excited to learn there was a relatively inexpensive, highly rated, DLP with an LED engine. Like so many others I've been searching for weeks, reading all I can about big screen TVs, checking user reviews here on Amazon and professional reviews on the internet. This TV sounded so good I had to see it. None at CostCo or Best Buy, but Fry's Electronics had one. I was able to see it display broadcast HDTV, broadcast 480i, DVD 720i, and they all looked good. I checked out the remote and on s...

Unit cuts out
My new Samsung HL-S5679W 56" LED Engine 1080p DLP HDTV arrived early and with no obvious damage. But unfortunately, the screen would intermittently go totally black for a couple of seconds on every input (cable, DVD, PS2, and digital cable). Samsung's phone service people were very helpful and provided me with contact information for a local warranty repair service. The shop is 20 miles away away, but they picked up, repaired, then delivered the unit back to me - although this took two and on...

Sweet HDTV
The HLS5679 is absolutely sweet! The hype about calibration is overstated. Check out AVSForum for the basic setup and adjust to your viewing pleasure from there. I had been tracking this model for a couple months. When Amazon surprised all by giving the Super Saver price drop plus a rebate, plus free white glove delivery, I (and others) jumped all over it. The debate between the Sony 56" and the Samsung 5687 model was over.
The HLS5679 with the LED light engine beats any light bulb/co...

Great picture especially ATSC HD
Outstanding picture using ATSC tuner and an antenna. Network primetime, Lateshow, Leno all look exceptional. However because this set displays the high quality stuff so well you will notice all the commercials, programs, news segments etc. that are of inferior quality. The transmitted resolution is only a piece of the puzzle. Even 480i (standard def can look quite good on this set if it was captured, edited, transferred maintaining high quality standards. Conversely 1080i transmitted stations ca...

Didn't last 2 weeks
I'm sold on DLP technology and own other DLP TVs. I thought replacing the projector lamp in this TV with a cool, quiet, long lived LED cluster would just make a DLP TV that much better...but apparently not. After about 2 weeks the picture went all red which cycled to green and then went black. Currently awaiting a Samsung recommended repairman to visit next week. Hopefully it will be something simple. I still believe that DLP is the best TV technology available today and replacing a bulb, f...
