Samsung HLR5078 DLP TV <--- Any thoughts??? Maimon Mons 09-13-05

Hi.
        I'm in the process of looking for my first HDTV. I decided on DLP for
a variety of reasons (please don't tell me to go for Plasma or LCD :-) ).
        Any thoughts about the Samsung HLR 5078W? It's got a 1080p screen that
looks pretty nice in the showroom. Anythings I should worry about?

Thanks.

I have the 46" model 63 DLP and love it.

I would consider getting an extended warranty just to be sure. Normally

I avoid them but this is a new model.

Go for it. I'm sure you'll be pleased.

I've trusted Samsung for years and I like DLP. Just make sure you have
an HD source like digital cable or satellite to get the most out of
your investment. DVD is NOT an HD source.

Actually, I'm primarily going to be using standard cable (not HD) at
least for the first year, supplemented by DVDs. How do these models
fare with analogue video sources?

I used to sell the samsung. On over-the-air analogue, it will look fair
from a fair distance(10'-12'). The remotes were the biggest issue with
me, but that's really nit-picking considering the potential of that
DLP. Do me two favors: Get something other than digital cable(unless it
were HD) to watch in the meantime. By a backlight to pop on the back of
the set. It makes the picture really snap.
