Product Description
Thanks to a new, long-lasting LED light engine, the Full HD (1920 x 1080p) picture of the HL-T5689S DLP HDTV will last as long as the set.

Samsung's Cinema Smooth light engine delivers the widest range of brilliant colors, while a dynamic contrast ratio renders every picture in perfect detail, from the darkest darks to brightest whites, and every tone in between. SRS TruSurround XT delivers sound that is clear and full. Enjoy watching two shows at the same time using the one-tuner Picture-in-Picture (PIP) feature. Three HDMI inputs in version 1.3 render your digital movies, photos and more with greater color depth, while a USB 2.0 port and other inputs allow full connectivity.The HLT generation of Samsung DLP HDTVs is capable of displaying future 3D games, movies, and other programming via 3D compatible glasses and hardware.

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.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing piece of merchandise!!   May 15, 2008
Donald R. Jacobson
This was my first leap into HD. Originally I was planning to buy a Samsung HLT6189S but I read some mixed reviews on that unit. I decided to go a little smaller so I bought the HLT5689S. I first hooked it up to my standard defintion box through Directv and noticed an immediate improvement in sharpness versus my old TV....as I would expect since my old unit was at least 15 years old. This past Monday I had Directv come out to install the HD equipment. Right out of the box the picture is amazing. My wife thinks it is almost 3-D. I'm still waiting for my receiver and speakers to be delivered, but in the meantime the speakers on the TV do a very nice job of creating a surround sound experience. All in all, I'm very pleased.

You can do all your research, you can read all the reviews, you can hit all the stores and try the side by side comparisons but the bottom line is when it is all said and done you will be looking at one TV in your living room.

So with that said, you want your TV to look good and you want a good deal...I had a previous DLP model# HLP5063W (About 3yrs old) sold it and used the money to put towards this model and the picture is like night and day and does not disappoint at all...Bright bright colors HDTV is crisp off of DirecTV box and BLuRay is gorgeous to look at and life like. Design thin bezel is really nice too. If you don't want to break the bank for a large screen you cannot go wrong with this model trust in this...

WOW! What a picture right out of the box. It exceeded our expectations for digital cable output and is outstanding on HD. We thought our Hitachi Ultravision had a great picture but this unit has a more vibrant picture. We looked at the plasma and LCD HDTVs but concluded this was the best picture for the money. We are totally satisfied.

Got this set about a month ago. Noticed the "prism" effect since day one. This is where you get rainbow type flashes and flickers within the objects on the screen. This issue is more prevalent when watching DVD than anything else but I have started to notice it more while watching television as well.
Have had a tech come out and she noticed the issue and told me to wait for firmware. At this time Samsung has no known firmware that will fix this issue. So I'm working on exchanging this set through Vanns.com. Vanns has a return policy where they come and pick up your defective set and then ship you out a new one, leaving you withough a $2k+ product that you have already paid for for more than a week.
Good times.
