Samsung HL-S5087W Review

by Roy Santos

- The 50-inch Samsung HL-S5087W, a DLP HDTV, won raves in PC World's testing, pleasing our judges enough to collect some of the highest performance marks we've seen in this category. At a street price of $2499 (as of September 8, 2006), this 1080p DLP might be a luxury purchase for some buyers, but its multitude of features and excellent image quality may push you to splurge.

User Reviews for Samsung HL-S5087W

Duration of ownership: 2 Months

Strengths: Great clear picture.

Weaknesses: Loud "ping" sound when picture comes on or goes off. I wish there was a way to disenable this feature. I prefer no sound when the picture comes on or is turned off since I live in an apartment.

Overall Evaluation: This is a great set and can be turned from side to side in the stand, if needed. I highly recommend this brand.

Strengths: Beautiful picture

Weaknesses: No problems at all

Overall Evaluation: Compared this set with Sony, Panasonic, JVC, and virtually every other brand out there...Nothing comes close to Samsung when it comes to HD picture quality. This set is worth every penny!
