    Key Features of the Samsung HL-S4266W


    DLP TV Technology

    Cinema Smooth 720p Light Engine
    Samsung's Cinema Smooth 720p light engine is the culmination of years of industry-leading research and development. It releases the maximum power of the new generation of DMD microdisplays for the most film-like picture. It creates an image with no visible pixel structure and accurate shading and better low-light detail.

    Faster Color Wheel
    Samsung's 2.2" color wheel spins at 14,400 rpm for smooth fast motion video, and has five color segments for more accurate colors. It achieves film-like transitions without pixel breakup found in slower color wheel designs and slower switching LCD microdisplays. Air Bearing technology also makes it whisper quiet.

    Next Generation DLP Chips from Texas Instrument
    DLP TV by Samsung employs a Texas Instruments DLP chip that is comprised of millions of microscopic mirrors. The DLP chip is faster than any HDTV technology, with the mirrors switching on and 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.

    Samsung's DNIe: Digital Natural Image Engine
    Samsung's exclusive Digital Natural Image engine makes the sharpest and clearest images possible, regardless of the profile of input signals. Five image processors and a six-times density enhancer ensure the best picture from any source. Now in its fourth generation, DNIe guarantees the truest colors and highest contrast, while virtually eliminating digital artifacts.

    Samsung Cinema Smooth Film Mode 3:2 Pull Down
    Powered by Samsung’s Cinema Smooth technology, 3:2 Pull Down corrects for the artificial frames created when films are converted to DVDs. The result is a clearer image without the subtle motion artifacts caused by 24-to-30 frames per second video conversion.

    Cinema Mode Color Adjustment
    Samsung's Cinema Mode lets you see colors the way the director intended, by matching them more closely to production standards. This creates more accurate colors and natural skin tones when viewing Hollywood movies on your TV-the perfect setting when enjoying movies with the lights off.
