Enjoy more picture and less frame with Samsung 's HL-T5087S DLP HDTV. The piano black bezel is just 0.6" wide; the set's slim depth lets it fit where others won't.

Full HD 1080p resolution and Samsung Cinema Smooth technology deliver a wide range of brilliant colors, with bright images and crisp definition. The blackest blacks, brightest whites and nuanced tones are yours with a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. The HLT generation of Samsung DLP HDTVs are capable of displaying future 3D games, movies, and other programming via 3D compatible glasses and hardware.  | | The revolutionary new LED system available on Samsung DLP HDTVs offers better color, and energy efficiency. | LED (Light Emitting Diode) for modern color realization
Samsung's new LED light engine replaces the arc lamp & color wheel design of previous DLP HDTVs, and realizes beautiful color. LED will last the life of the TV. Samsung LED DLP TVs eliminate the need to replace the consumable lamps every few years, and thus have less impact on the environment and on one?s wallet. Samsung's LED light engine makes possible an Ultra-Wide Color Gamut that exceeds the NTSC defined color space spec for richer color than you've seen before on TV. Samsung DLP HDTVs with an LED engine are more energy efficient than similar sized flat panel displays, and the lack of a moving color whell in the design means they perform with less noise than any previous DLP HDTV design.  | | Samsung's Cinema Smooth light engine create's images with a smoother, more film-like appearance. | Cinema Smooth Light Engine
Samsung is the worldwide leader in creating light engines that harness DLP HDTV technology from Texas Instruments. Samsung?s Cinema Smooth light engine brings together the right optics, electronic circuitry and replaceable light source to create a brilliant picture that?s more lifelike and much closer to film. Now in its sixth year of evolution, Samsung?s Cinema Smooth light engine delivers crisp, 1080p High Definition resolution with high contrast and brightness, defined edges and sharp detail. Next Generation DLP Chips from Texas Instruments
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 & off 15,000 times a second to deliver a razor-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.  | | SRS TruSurround offers a surround sound experience from only two speakers. | SRS TruSurround Samsung HDTVs are equipped with the best that technology can offer in sound quality. Even when viewing regular broadcasts, Samsung's two speaker surround sound makes you feel as if the theater has been brought to your living room.

 mine is a lemon October 15, 2008
When the tv was working, I generally liked it purely because of its size and price. Getting a good brightness and color setting for the screen is challenging. There is a very narrow range of view angles for optimal quality - directly in front of the screen and near eye-level. Otherwise, the picture is dim. It's frustrating to see such a big difference just from standing versus sitting in the same spot. I haven't had any other DLPs to compare this to.
I can't comment on HD. SD is acceptable for normal programming, although I'm sure HD would look snazzy. Sports can be frustrating to watch at this size in SD, though.
The #1 problem with mine is that the volume spontaneously goes all the way up to 100, and unplugging the set for several minutes is the only solution. This happened within an hour of getting it off the truck, but then didn't happen again for maybe a month. After it had happened a few times, I called Samsung for repairs. After 2.5 weeks in the shop, it just came back today - worse than before. I had it on for ~15 minutes at a time, then the volume cranked up and it had to be unplugged for several minutes. So for now, its only use is as a big expensive digital photo viewer.
It's probably a bad sign that while this tv was in the shop for two and a half weeks, I really didn't miss it.
 Best TV for the Money September 23, 2008
After nearly 5 months of ownership, I have yet to find a flaw. The picture is far brighter than most DLP's I've viewed and will rival LCDs and plasmas, minus the high power consumption and the heat generated by these flat screens. If you take the time to fiddle with the audio controls and customize it, the built-in speakers can also provide good sound (although if you had a tv this good, you'd really want to pair it with at least a 5.1 surround system). I hope Samsung continues to evolve the DLP LED series because from what I've seen, this is a truly worthwhile technology.
Wow--good value and fabulous picture July 14, 2008
When shopping for a new TV, I went in to several stores to stand back and pick the best picture out of dozens of units. I was drawn to the Samsung sets without exception. I'm so happy with my purchase and still believe Samsung has the best picture available at this time. We've been using our set for a few months, so I waited to write a review because of issues that others had after a short period of time. I guess we've been lucky because we had no technical issues. Also, I highly recommend Vann's due to low price (I was able to purchase a $150 universal remote for only $50 with the purchase of this unit) and good service. Vann's lowered the price of this set by $100 after I purchased, and I was credited for the difference in price.
I'm intentionally leaving all the technical information out of my review because I think that has been covered elsewhere, and I want to empasize the fact that this set can be used by anyone who doesn't understand a lot of the technical terms anyway. Setup is quick, easy, and painless.
We have used everything from a 10-year-old VCR to a Nintendo Wii with our new Samsung TV and are absolutely thrilled with the picture quality. I keep telling my husband that there are people in our living room! :) The picture quality in HD is truly that realistic. We watched the July 4th fireworks on three different channels (it was raining in our area that night) and now see no reason to leave the house next year because it can't get any better than what we saw on our set.
Depth of the set was not an issue for us, and I'm glad we chose this unit. We have all of the accessories (HD receiver and DVD recorder from Comcast, DVD/VCR recorder, etc.) to store anyway, so no big deal.
I highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a lot of bang for the buck and crystal clear picture quality.
Happy Happy! June 4, 2008
Great Product no complaints, right choice for the money!
Best Tv After doing allot of research on what I wanted 1080p games look amazing!
Picture is great for non high-def cable too.
Good Product May 16, 2008
Very good value for the money, have owned the product for about a month now, so far so good. Slight bowing on the upper portion of the screen, however i only notice the bowing when there is a straight edge on the screen to compare it to. During movies and games I can't even notice it. Just like the many others, I was hesitant to buy DLP, being newer technology. The image is very clear and sharp if you are sitting the appropriate distance away. DLP is the cheapest technology to go with based on the size.
