Samsung HLN617W DLP Television
Samsung introduces a new generation digital TV that finally addresses high-definition performance, compact design and affordability when compared to other flat panel designs. The new HLN617W displays 61 inches of unparalleled widescreen viewing area that is elegantly framed in an ultra-light, thin-bezel cabinet. Weighing about 102 pounds and a mere 19.4 inches deep, the HLN617W fits where others don’t. The secret to this engineering marvel - a compact digital projector powered by a single, postage stamp sized Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) that generates high definition video images. These video images are created by proprietary digital light processing (DLP™) techniques, and then magnified by an advanced array of optics. Its fully digital video design processes combined with Samsung’s new DNIe™ video enhancer optimizes all analog NTSC and wideband sources be it a VCR, DVD player, camcorder or TV programming from digital satellite receivers and HDTV tuners. The new DVI interface is compatible with the new generation cable, satellite and off-air high-definition receivers for a pure digital picture.
Samsung’s HLN617W will also accommodate a computer, too -- with no burn-in or screen-aging issues to worry about. Hang it, mount it, rest it on a stand or wall-unit, and simply move it anywhere, its size and weight offers more placement possibilities over any other TV over 60 inches in size. Finally, Samsung lets you put TV in its place.
DLP TV Technology
Digital Light Processing (DLP™)
DLP technology has been used for years in digital movie theaters around the world. Now Samsung is bringing DLP™ to TV, using the latest DLP™ chip (HD-2), designed specifically for high performance viewing of movies, sports and home entertainment. This postage-stamp-size, microdisplay panel uses 921,600 microscopic mirrors to deliver eye-popping video images that are clearer, brighter, and more colorful using this all-digital technology.2nd-Generation DMD DLP Chip
The 2nd-generation (HD-2) DMD chip is Texas Instrument's latest micro-display panel. Combined with Samsung's advanced light processing optics, the result is an overall stunning picture quality that is clear, bright and with outstanding contrast.Advanced Projection TV Technology
Advanced features like our first-surface mirror with anti-glare coating deliver bright, high-contrast picture without distortion or ghosting. Samsung’s Micro Fine Pitch Screen is among the finest in the industry, with a pitch of just 0.155mm. This lenticular screen delivers more picture and less black space, finer detail and a super-wide, 160-degree viewing angle.DLP™ Gives You More Picture
The DLP™ chip is covered by 921,600 tiny mirrors, each of which represents one pixel. Because the pixels are spaced less than one micron apart, DLP™ delivers more brilliant color and less black space. With DLP™ TV you’ll never notice the “screen-door effect” apparent on other projection displays. Each mirror is independently controlled, so there’s no “cross talk” distortion as there is with other panel technologies.Cinema Progressive Scan with 3:2 Pull Down
Samsung’s Cinema Progressive Scan automatically up-converts all non-digital format signals to a smooth, clear 720 lines of progressive scan. 3:2 pull down is a must for any DVD movie enthusiast. It analyzes each frame of video, removing unclear frames that were added during the transfer from film to video. These added frames cause blurring, stuttering and other motion artifacts, especially during fast-action sequences. 3:2 pull down gives your DVDs a look and feel that’s much closer to film. Cinema Progressive Scan with 3:2 pull down is powered by Faroudja’s patented DCDi™ video processing.DCDi™ Digital Processing by FAROUDJA
DLP™ TV by Samsung performs directional interpolation on each pixel with DCDi™ technology, which detects the angle of outer tilt by pixel, and then de-interlaces a video signal according to the angle. This cutting-edge process reproduces a soft and natural picture without any coarse outline.Directional Correlation De-interlacing, known as DCDi™‚ is state-of-the-art video processing technology incorporated for even higher picture quality assurance. DCDi™ eliminates the jagged edges that appear when standard interlaced video is viewed on progressive scan displays. This means progressive scan TVs that feature DCDi™ technology produce images that look smoother and more natural.
Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe™)
Samsung’s unique Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe™) combines a Motion Optimizer, a Contrast Enhancer, a Detail Enhancer, and a Color Optimizer to deliver the most vivid, lifelike picture. You can see the superior DNIe™ difference from any analog video source – HD signals look better too.Automatic Digital Format Conversion
System is compatible with 1080i and 720P HDTV formats, 480P EDTV and 480i SDTV formats. Samsung digital format conversion system will accept any DTV, Analog TV, or XGA computer RGB input. All video signals are converted to a 16x9 wide-screen pixel count (1280 x 720 resolution) progressive display for flicker-free images.Audio System
Sound Reality
DLP™ TV by Samsung has four built-in speakers and a 30-watt Virtual Dolby sound system. All models incorporate BBE Audio technology, which creates more lifelike sound and a clearer voice spectrum.Input/Output Terminals
Virtually Unlimited Connections
DLP™ TVs by Samsung are multimedia-ready. They provide multiple sets of inputs and outputs to offer you maximum flexibility to expand your home theater. They can handle your PC, VCR, DVD, game console, HDTV receiver, satellite dish, camcorder and more. Plug-and-play has never been more convenient – just plug into the side or rear jacks, and the TV automatically identifies your device. Add Samsung’s versatile split-screen, picture-in-picture options, and you can surf the Web while watching TV. Remember, with DLP™ TV, there’s no danger of burn-in.Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
DVI enables an all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with an analog interface. Samsung’s DVI architecture supports HDCP (High Definition Copy Protection), necessary for advanced HDTV tuners and DVD players. The next-generation DVI connection (called HDMI) will also be supported via a simple adapter plug.HD Component Video Inputs
Receive digital broadcasts from any source in any format – terrestrial, satellite or digital cable. There’s also a 480P input for connection to today’s new, progressive scan DVD players.Other Features
No Burn-In or Screen Aging
Since the DLP™ TV by Samsung does nothing more than simply process light, there’s never any risk of burn-in or screen aging. So you can enjoy peace of mind, even when watching static images or sources that don’t fill the entire screen.Long Life Span
DLP™ TV by Samsung uses an Ultra-High-Pressure lamp that delivers a bright, consistent screen image with accurate colors for three to five years of service, depending on use. Best of all, when the lamp finally does burn out, it can be replaced easily with only a screwdriver. Just put in a new lamp and your DLP™ TV will perform as well as it did the first day you turned it on.Five Picture Formats
Choose the perfect aspect ratio for what you’re watching, whether it’s sports, TV or movies. Choose from Wide, Panorama, Zoom1, Zoom2 or Normal. The system will remember your last setting for each input.Picture Mode Adjust the picture settings and color temperature to suit your programming. Choose from Standard, Movie or Custom settings. Note that the Dynamic mode is intended for the dealer showroom or brightly lit rooms.
Audio Pre-sets
Five audio pre-sets give you the best dynamic sound settings for whatever you’re watching. Choose from Standard, Music, Movie, Speech or Custom.2 Tuner Picture-in-Picture and Split Screen
This feature lets you simultaneously watch two TV programs – or a TV program and a DVD or other source. You can even re-size or re-position the PIP window.Other Convenience Features
