Samsung HL-S5679W DLP with LED backlight
Samsung must realize those DLP bulbs don't last long enough and cost too much because the new 56-inch HL-S5679W DLP set uses LED lighting. Hey, Samsung, while you're under the hood, why not kill that color wheel too? Oh wait, they did that too with red, green and blue LEDs, which is killer because there's no gold at the end of that rainbow effect. The new tweaks give the HL-S5679W a sweet seven-second startup time and 20,000 hours of little lamp lives. There's no wobulation in this 1080p set, it's full 1920 x 1080 in a progressive format with dual 1080p inputs. Samsung states these will handle 1080p signals, so if it's the real deal, these should be paired up PlayStation 3's, no? Watch for it in April around $4,200.

Sounds promising particularly for those of us looking for deep blacks. Whatever happened to the L.E.D. technology Mits was working on?

Happy holidays everyone.

Here goes, http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/06/sams ... backlight/. Hope it works. I saw a T.I. rep talking about it on HD NET on the program "What's Kewl at CEDIA". It was his primary focus and according to him multiple manufacturers are adopting the technology, but SAMSUNG appears to be first.

Sound and Vision Magazine December 2006 has a review of the Samsung TV
referenced below. The review is on Page 90.

Overall it received a decent review. I was most impressed by the fact
that S&V didn't have to do a gray scale calibration to get good
results (+-96K from 30 to 100 IRE). They did comment that the screen
uniformity was not great and the shadow detail was limited.

S&V will probably have the review on their website next month.
