Engadget HD Review: Samsung HLS-5679W LED DLP
Samsung's first go at throwing out the traditional 4,000 hour DLP bulb and color wheel in favor of a cluster of red, green and blue long life LEDs seems to be a success. We have been enjoying the HLS-5679W for a week or two and got to say up front, it has a great picture – post calibration. Just like most other HDTVs, the out-of-box color is horribly wrong, but thankfully it can be adjusted easy and once done produces an outstanding picture. Keep in mind we are saying that the picture quality is great as the HDTV as a whole is not without flaws; continue reading for the full review.UPDATE: There is a common thread running through all users questions/comments: how does this set compair to Sony's new SXRDs. I can't say for the XBR line as they are just now shipping but as far as the A2000 line, this set seems just as clear and bright as those sets. It would be hard to tell which one is 'better' without 'em side by side but I can say this DLP does provide what seems to be better color uniformity then the bright SXRDs. However, this set is priced to compete with the higher quality XBR line so we will have to wait and see how those new sets look. Thanks for the questions and keep 'em coming. BTW, you can win one of these brand spanking new HDTVs here.
