Samsung HL-S5679W Review

Editors' rating

The good: LED light source last longer than bulbs and eliminates DLP's "rainbow effect"; excellent color accuracy; sharp, smooth picture with no visible screen grain; numerous picture controls with four memories per input; CableCard with TV Guide EPG; well-designed menu system; fine connectivity that includes full-resolution PC input.

The bad: Expensive; color and brightness vary across screen; blacks not as deep as those of competing televisions; somewhat sluggish menu response.

The bottom line: Although the LED-powered Samsung HL-S5679W does a lot of things right, its picture quality isn't up to the standards set by its high price.
