Product Description
Enjoy better pictures with the Samsung's HL-T5687 DLP HDTV. The piano black bezel is just 0.6-inch wide so the slim depth lets it fit where others won't. The energy-efficient 61-inch screen features a powerful, long-lasting LED light engine that turns on almost instantly. Full HD 1080p resolution and Samsung Cinema Smooth technology deliver a wide range of brilliant colors, with bright images and crisp definition. The blackest blacks, brightest whites and nuanced tones are yours with a 10000:1 dynamic-contrast ratio. Hidden speakers deliver clear, robust SRS TruSurround XT sound. The 120Hz switching speed and Game Mode keep gamers marveling at the lifelike action. A wide range of audio, video and HDMI inputs allow digital connectivity to Cable/Satellite boxes, Blu-ray players, AV receivers and more.
Please note: Samsung recently changed the suffix on this TV from HLT-5687X-XAA to HLT-5687SAX. The change was not technical in nature and there is no difference other than the suffix in the model number.

Amazon.com Product Description Enjoy more picture and less frame with Samsung’s HL-T5687S DLP HDTV. The piano black bezel is just 0.6" wide; the set's slim depth lets it fit where others won't. The energy-efficient 56" screen features a powerful, long-lasting LED light engine that turns on almost instantly. Full HD 1080p resolution and Samsung Cinema Smooth technology deliver a wide range of brilliant colors, with bright images and crisp definition. The blackest blacks, brightest whites and nuanced tones are yours with a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Hidden speakers deliver clear, robust SRS TruSurround XT sound. The HLT generation of Samsung DLP HDTVs are capable of displaying future 3D games, movies, and other programming via 3D compatible glasses and hardware.  | | The revolutionary new LED system available on Samsung DLP HDTVs offers better color, and energy efficiency. | LED (Light Emitting Diode) for modern color realization
Samsung's new LED light engine replaces the arc lamp & color wheel design of previous DLP HDTVs, and realizes beautiful color. LED will last the life of the TV. Samsung LED DLP TVs eliminate the need to replace the consumable lamps every few years, and thus have less impact on the environment and on one’s wallet. Samsung's LED light engine makes possible an Ultra-Wide Color Gamut that exceeds the NTSC defined color space spec for richer color than you've seen before on TV. Samsung DLP HDTVs with an LED engine are more energy efficient than similar sized flat panel displays, and the lack of a moving color whell in the design means they perform with less noise than any previous DLP HDTV design.  | | Samsung's Cinema Smooth light engine create's images with a smoother, more film-like appearance. | Cinema Smooth Light Engine
Samsung is the worldwide leader in creating light engines that harness DLP HDTV technology from Texas Instruments. Samsung’s Cinema Smooth light engine brings together the right optics, electronic circuitry and replaceable light source to create a brilliant picture that’s more lifelike and much closer to film. Now in its sixth year of evolution, Samsung’s Cinema Smooth light engine delivers crisp, 1080p High Definition resolution with high contrast and brightness, defined edges and sharp detail. Next Generation DLP Chips from Texas Instruments
Samsung employs a Texas Instruments DLP chip that is comprised of millions of microscopic mirrors. The DLP chip is faster than any other HDTV technology, with the mirrors switching on & 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.  | | SRS TruSurround offers a surround sound experience from only two speakers. | SRS TruSurround Samsung HDTVs are equipped with the best that technology can offer in sound quality. Even when viewing regular broadcasts, Samsung's two speaker surround sound makes you feel as if the theater has been brought to your living room.

 Great while it lasted - 2.5 years and no color red. January 17, 2010
Jordan Lund (Portland, OR USA)
This was my 2nd HDTV, the first being a rear projection unit. The picture was sharp and beautiful from July, 2007 up until January, 2010 at which point the red LED burned out. Researching this online while staring at a blue-green picture I found that this make and model of Samsung has this problem ALL THE TIME.
In fact, I got pretty lucky that it lasted 2.5 years. Some folks have this happen after just 12, 15 or 18 months.
The red LED can be obtained for around $100 but there's a 4 week backorder on it. Something tells me that's another indication how common the problem is. I could buy a light engine for $1000 but that would be throwing another grand at a set that still has a weak red LED.
 Red LED dies far too early December 1, 2009

Red LED died about 18 months after purchase, conveniently past the 1-year warranty mark. Seems to be a pretty common occurrence if you search around for Samsung LED DLPs issues. Replacing the LED unit is very expensive, sometimes half the cost of the TV value. The failure rate is so bad that Samsung is stopping (or has stopped?) production on all LED DLPs. Go with bulb-based if you're getting a rear projection TV. Reliability is perhaps the most important feature of a large screen TV for me, which this TV seems to fail miserably at.
15 months only June 23, 2009

This TV was fine for 15 months, and then the red led or something to that effect failed today so we now have a blue-green tv. Of course amazon only has a 30 day warranty and samsung only has a 365 day warranty (unless you pay extra)so we are stuck. I will post again if the local repair facility is able to fix it in a short and cost effective manner.
If not, my advice is to not buy from samsung.
 Fantastic HDTV April 11, 2009

I've had this TV for just over a year now. All I can say is that if you can still find one at any kind of reasonable price, buy it. This is very possibly the best technology/electronics purchase I've ever made (and I've made a lot more than a few).
The picture on this thing is just tremendous. One of the outstanding features of it is how great regular, standard-def channels look on it...particularly compared to some I've seen on some LCDs and plasmas. The HD is flat-out stunning. A bonus is its' very low max power consumption of 230 watts. There are smaller screen plasmas out there that take 500 - 550 watts. No thanks -- I live in Ohio where electricity is expensive.
I have an unusual shaped den that has kind of a largish niche in one wall, so I didn't need a flat panel for (presumably) space-saving purposes. This thing is still only about 11 inches deep. An old-style 26" tube set is probably a lot thicker than this.
After I had it for a month or two and realized it was the best TV I'd ever owned (and was definitely a keeper), I bought two cabinets to put on either side to hold the DVD player, TIVO, etc. and then had a cabinet maker make a custom stand for the TV that matched the side piers. Sweet.

I patiently did the Homework. The Comments were and are the best idea for consumers who want the peace of mind they made the Best Choice . Customer comments, such as "buy the Next size up", because the stations transmit smaller images than the screen size YOU purchased,
ex: 56" screen displays a 46" in the 4:3 transmission on cable networks.
Amazon was a Good first time experience. Research/ Buying/Delivery and Product is just what you should expect. I purchased the Samsung Surrond to compliment the Large Screen, and if you want to save more time and money, purchase the Optical and HDMI Cables OnLine as well, the Local dealers Are more expensive , including the delivery charge (if there is one online from Amazon). Consumer Reports substantiated my homework as well in recent issues. Thank You Amazon & Samsung .
