Product Description
HDTV monitor (compatible with HDTV/SDTV formats -- when connected to a separate HDTV tuner -- and displays all signals at 720p) * widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio * Texas Instruments HD3 DLP chip (1280 x 720 pixels) * HD Ultra-Fine Pitch Screen *
Amazon.com Product Description
Lighter and more compact than earlier DLP models, Samsung's HL-P6163W displays 61 inches of inviting widescreen imagery for your home theater while weighing only 99 pounds and standing just 17 inches deep. Elegantly framed in an ultralight, thin-bezel cabinet, the HL-P6163W offers more than just quantity of screen: it's also engineered for quality. The secret to this DLP (Digital Light Processing) projection set's quality is its Emmy-winning technology from Texas Instruments. Samsung has combined its proprietary Cinema Smooth Gen 3 HD light engine and advanced optic enhancements with a single, postage-stamp-sized Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) capable of generating high-definition video images with film-like resolution, deep blacks, and robust colors. Samsung's Cinema Smooth light engine enhances brightness while ensuring an incredible 1,500:1 contrast ratio. Texas Instruments' DMD panel is immune to the factors that can cause other displays to deteriorate with use, imparting a longer life expectancy than that of cathode ray tube (CRT) sets, plasma display panels, and liquid crystal display systems (LCD, LCoS, HTPS). A host of advanced digital interfaces and video inputs make non-issues of connectivity challenges and future proofing. Hang it, mount it, rest it on a stand, or move it just about anywhere, anytime. The screen's surface is nearly 100 percent reflective, and its lightning-quick switching speeds make it twice as fast as earlier designs and nearly 1,000 times faster than competing microdisplay technologies. The HL-P6163W's automatic digital-format conversion system converts any input (whether DTV, analog TV, or XGA computer sources at 1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i) to a progressive, 16:9 widescreen image with a 1,280 x 720 pixel count. A 3D Y/C digital comb filter dramatically reduces image-edge artifacts while improving transition detail, and the set's HD ultra-fine-pitch (.155 mm) screen further clarifies images, especially when you're viewing high-resolution sources like DVD and HDTV. Samsung's Cinema Smooth Film Mode 3:2 pulldown correction circuitry addresses digital distortion in 480i (interlaced) video signals generated from 24-frames-per-second film. Finally, Samsung DNIe video enhancer (Digital Natural Image engine) works with all analog NTSC and wideband video signals for improvements in contrast, white level, and picture detail, incorporating digital noise reduction to improve lower-quality sources. The set offers digital-video inputs in 2 formats. A DVI-HDTV interface with HDCP copy protection permits all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with an analog interface, and an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) jack channels both digital audio and video to simplify connections with newer DTV set-top boxes and DVD players by reducing hookups to just a single cable and plug. Other inputs include dual HDTV component-video inputs (480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i) for high-definition satellite receivers, HDTV tuners, and HD cable boxes with component video outputs (Y, Pb, Pr); 3 each composite- and S-video inputs; and 2 RF coaxial inputs for antennas or older VCRs or cable boxes. An audio/video output permits hookup with an external device such as a surround-sound receiver. A 15-watts-per-channel (x2) audio system with a pair of 2-way speakers comes with built-in SRS TruSurround XT, which simulates compelling surround sound through any stereo playback system, including headphones and the TV's speakers. Last but far from least, onboard 2-tuner PIP with side-by-side split-screen viewing grants convenient simultaneous viewing of 2 TV programs, while a supplied universal remote control permits control of the TV, a DVD player, a VCR, and a tuner/surround receiver. What's in the Box
TV, remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, and warranty information.

Excellent picture, but some glitches October 26, 2009
Michael Schuyler
I've had one of these for several years now. Overall it's been an excellent TV. Just before the warranty ran out I had a problem with the color wheel. It started getting very loud. Tech replaced with a louder one! I complained, he came and swapped it out claiming he couldn't hear a difference, but at my insistence he swapped it out. The customer service process worked very well. No complaints, even though I kinda had to fight with the tech. No problem getting him here or getting it on warranty.
Also, the HDMI port doesn't seem to work. At first it didn't matter because I didn't have any HDMI sources, but now that I do it's kind of a bummer The Component, S video, and other inputs work fine. The set is a nice size, fairly thin, and sets back to the wall very nicely. I had a custom credenza built for it to get it up a bit higher.
 Samsung 61" DLP HDTV August 1, 2005
T. Tuggle
I bought one of the 61" DLP Samsung HDTV's. On the good side the picture is great! There is no problem with glare on the screen. Even with the Florida sun coming through the windows you get a bright picture. On the down side, the ballast started to go after only 2 months. The first symptom was that it would occasionally take several tries to turn the television on. Within 6 months the television would not turn on at all. During that period of time the repair center had me do such things as unplug the TV for several hours to reboot it, hold the power button down with the TV unplugged to discharge the transistors, and other things that are a pain to do with a TV this size. I called a second repair center and they told me, just from the symptoms I described over the phone, what the problem was (they had the same complaint on the Samsungs from other customers). They replaced the ballast and gave me a new bulb for my troubles. I was lucky the TV was still under factory warranty. My advice would be to get the extended warranty. I was told that the bulb alone coast around $300.
 Bought a refurb - AWESOME! July 16, 2005

This TV is awesome! It makes a great centerpiece to my home theater. I didn't need a built in HD tuner because I use satellite, so this TV was perfect. I was between this and the Toshiba 62HM84, I am totally happy with this. I bought it refurbished on Amazon for about $600 less than i could have bought it new. It was my first ever refurb purchase and it has been flawless so far.
Sweet DLP TV! Does xbox have lag? May 3, 2005

So, I saw that Circuit City now has 24months no intereset so I decided to take the plunge and upgrade my ageing 32" Sony that I bought 4 years ago.
I went to Circuit City and got a floor model from a store that just closed for 450 off retail, he then threw in a 2 year protection plan + delivery. I also only had to pay $200 more for 2 more years of extended warranty, so a total of 4. I got a monster power station, even if not needed, it's a 3k tv so who cares.
The tv is scheduled for delivery the next day, which I work all day but will have my friend goto my place for pickup. I then start reading reviews and others are saying that with xbox, there is a .5-1 second delay, because the DLP chip cannot handle it and Samsung knows about it but has no fix. I was upset about that and called Circuit City and they said to go ahead with delivery, test it out and we'll go from there.
I got the tv and when I got home I tried Halo 2, no lag what so ever, supposedly DLP takes 1/8second to process the image but I can't notice that. SOOOOOO, I havn't tried other games but Halo 2 works PERFECT and looks pretty dang sweet. It was overwhelming at first because you have to look around the screen to find people, look at radar, etc.
I have DTV, so I do have a digital signal, it does look a little bad but soon enough DTV is going all HDT and then I will awe on every channel.
In conclustion this TV has no LAG! like other message boards/forums suggest.
(...)if you have any questions!
 Color problem March 30, 2005
Mi Lehoang (California)
2 out of 9 found this review helpful
I just bought this HDTV set this week and very desappointed with its picture and color quality. I am still waiting for a new HD converter box from Cox Communications, so I cannot say much about the HDTV programs. But for a normal TV channel, the picture and color quality are much worse than my old regular TV set. The picture is very blurry, and color is at best unnatural. All adjustments on the color settings are in vain. With this size of screen, your eyes will be under tortures when the pictures are not good. I can hardy watch an entire movie.
I had hope that these problems are related to the fact I do not have yet the HD box. But when reading other postings, I know now I am not alone. Not sure how to resolve this, but for potential buyers, be aware. I've done a lot of researches, but don't expect this type of problem for a set at this price. Make sure you watch an ordinary non-HD program while shop around, don't just rely on what the stores show you in demo.
