Ratings: Samsung HL-S5679W DLP HDTV

Build Quality: 89
• The menus are a little slow
• Feels sturdy for a big piece of plastic

Value: 90
• About $700 more than other 56-inchers. . .
• . . .but think of the money you'll save in bulbs

Features: 91
• Full suite of inputs
• There is no bulb to replace, ever

Performance: 91
• Perfect color points after calibration
• Has a less-than-impressive black level and contrast ratio

Ergonomics: 84
• The menus are cumbersome
• Remote needs daylight to be read

Overall Rating: 90
Perfect color accuracy, low noise, and excellent processing and scaling—what's not to like? Oh, yeah—a poor black level and contrast ratio. The world's first LED RPTV has a lot going for it, but it badly needs an iris.
