Great TV, not sure what the previous poster is talking about,
I have had this TV for the last 2 months and it has been fantastic. Sure you could get the 1080P model instead, which I will admit does have better picture but you’d end up paying at least $500 more for it. Given the ever dropping prices of these kinds of TV’s I’d rather save that money and use it in a few years to upgrade when I have the room for something bigger and better.
I had extensively compared this model to the Toshiba 50HM66 and in stores I will say the Toshiba did look a bit better. Don’t let yourself be fooled though, for some reason Toshiba always seems to do the best job of making their TV’s look good right out of the box while Samsungs require some adjustments to get the best picture. Once you do all of this they will look very similar in regards to picture quality.
In regards to the previous poster I will assume that he doesn’t have the TV nor has done any research on it. This TV most definetly has a VGA input (although the competing Toshiba doesn’t). Also you have been missinformed in regards to using HDMI to connect a computer. I have had a high end media center pc connected to my Samsung HL-S5086W using a DVI to HDMI cable and the picture is outstanding. Pretty much any computer with DVI out on the video card can be connected to this TV using a DVI to HDMI cable which can be picked up for ten dollars online, no other equipment needed.
Overall I am very happy with this purchase and would completly recommend this TV to anyone on the market for an HDTV on a budget.

Awesome TV and great service from Amazon….,
I’ve had this TV for about 3 weeks now and have been extremely happy with it. Let me say first that if you have any reservations about ordering a big-ticket item from Amazon you should put them aside. The delivery service was very informative about my order and it was delivered on time (I live in the Chicagoland area). The TV was gently unpacked and placed unto the stand I had already purchased (it’s the stand specifically for this TV). The only thing was they left the huge TV box so you have the responsibility to trash it. Not a problem.
Now the TV: The first thing you will notice is that it takes a good 30 seconds for the TV to warm up. Don’t be alarmed. This actually caught me off guard the first few times I turned it on. The colors from HD are awesome. So much so that I actually thought they were almost too “bright” so I tweaked the settings to get it just right. Analog channels look OK, but HD is where this TV shines the most. I’ve watched a few DVDs (Kill Bill and Star Wars III: Return of the Sith) and am impressed with the quality of the picture. I can only imagine how HD DVD will look (although you have to remember that HD DVD natively will be at 1080p so my TV may not be as “sharp” at 720p, but to me there is a point of diminishing returns….)
Audio is a little weak as others have stated and that is the reason why I didn’t give the review 5 stars. I haven’t hooked it up to my stereo system yet, but, to be honest, I’m not really watching TV for 5.1 sound anyway. Of course, I probably will change my mind once I do connect it.
Overall, I’m extremely happy at the price of the TV (no taxes or delivery too),responsiveness of the delivery service, and the TV itself. I’ll admit I was a bit hesitant to buy such an “expensive” item on Amazon, but the experience has left me very satisfied.

Look no further, this is IT.,
I’ve been watching and waiting for over 6 months before buying. I was certain I was going to get the Samsung DLP HDTV but which model I was unsure. After reading review after review I knew I wanted the option to turn off the DNIe feature. The HLS-5086w allows the option to turn it off if wanted and so I just recently purchased this TV.
I can’t begin to say how much I’m pleasantly surprised by the incredible image and I’m only watching digital cable signals, not HD signals. I can’t get the HD signal for a few days and will update this review at that time. This set is user friendly and offers all sorts of fine tuning to get the color exactly as you want it. I was under the mistaken belief that non HD programs would be grainy. Nothing could be further from the truth. Watching basic digital is a new exerience in clarity, picture ‘pop’, and general WOW factor. When I get the HD signal I know I’ll be even more delighted with this set.
This is by far the most bang for the buck HDTV available, in my opinion, and I’ve been researching for more than six months.
To any that are considering purchasing a HD set, look no further than Samsung DLP. It is THE set to buy. I’m extremely happy with my purchase and the total exerience with Amazon.
Edit: I now have the HD signal and I can’t say enough about this set. The picture is amazing. HD programs are incredible. I’ve given this set a 5 star rating and if possible I’d go higher. I’m extremely happy with my Samsung DLP TV.
