Samsung HLT6187SAX 61-inch Slim LED Engine 1080p DLP HDTV

Compared to my old Panasonic 53" projection the picture is a dream, but it's quirky. Had the Blue Halos fixed, does have rainbow effect on bright light sources, screen is bowed up about 1/2" at the top right, the occasional crackling from the case is very disconcerting. Twice it has refused to turn on - unplugging "reset" or whatever and then it worked. Hooking up the PC through the HDMI cable is fine, but through VGA it gets some not supported error. The sound sucks unless you turn bass way down, price you pay for compactness.

Compares favorably picture-wise to friends smaller high end LCD's for nearly half the price - for the $1800 its really hard to beat the value for a 61". If it lasts a couple years until the next latest greatest thing i'll be happy

This television is fantastic! After a little set-up and tweaking the set looks great... Blacks are BLACK and color saturation is breathtaking. I did see some rainbow in the Avia disk but only on a fully white display. If I had to choose again, the outcome would be the same. Great product!

So I must say the TV is pretty big!!! For the price that I bought it for it is well worth it. Obviously it's not plasma or lcd but it still is pretty good for a dlp. I have directv so i do get hd channels and the hd channels are pretty nice. It becomes amazing though, when you play stuff on ps3. When the tv uses the full 1080p it is really amazing.
I give it a three star because i had problems with it from day 1. The sound came out distorted and it sounded very funny. So i called amazon and they told me i needed to contact samsung. So i contacted samsung and they brought me a repair guy within about 2 weeks. It seems to be fixed but we will have to see. It's just not comforting knowing you have a brand new tv and it comes with a problem.
I figure I got what i paid for. I got the tv at the lowest possible price so i guess it's ok. To get a 61' tv for $1700 is pretty good. Especially cause it is led and you don't need to replace the bulb every so often it makes it worth it.
If you want a big tv with pretty good quality this is a pretty good tv. Like i said it's not plasma but if you are willing to pay for it go for plasma. I went for size over quality(not that the quality is bad on this tv) but i figured size is better than quality cause most people can't tell anyway...

What a great TV the Samsung 61 is. Terrific colors and very sharp details . It was a real pleasure watching the Masters on the HD channel with the rich greens and other colors coming through. Incredible. I put it next to a 42 plasma and everyone agreed they thought the picture was better. You can't beat the price for quality either. This cost $1000 to $2000 less for comparable LCD or Plasma of the same size. This model even can play the new 3D movies! Very god purchase. Amazon was great too with price and delivery.

The whole process was a homerun!! From ordering, PRICE, shipping and especially a great TV. If there was something to complain about I would include it in this review---there simply wasn't. Would recommend Amazon to anybody and do so when asked. Couldn't be more pleased with the performance of our Samsung DLP.
