Features

DLP Projection System: DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology by Texas Instruments is the only display solution that enables projection systems to create a purely digital connection between a digital video or graphic source and the screen in front of you. While all other technologies are analog and compromise some image quality in translation, DLP projection unleashes the full potential of high-quality video content.

DLP Chip by Texas Instruments: Samsung employs a DLP chip that is comprised of millions of microscopic mirrors capable of switching on and off at 15,000 or more times a second to deliver a razor-sharp picture for fast-moving images.

Cinema Smooth 1080p Light Engine: Samsung's Cinema Smooth 1080p light engine produces razor-sharp pictures in 1080p with a 10-bit processing system and a 5-segment color wheel that produces natural, vivid colors. The TV has a contrast ratio of up to 10,000:1, with outstanding colors and deep black levels.

5-Segment Color Wheel: The HL-S6188W features a faster 5-segment 2.2" color wheel than previous models, spinning at 14,400 rpm for smooth, fast-motion video. The wheel has the 3 primary colors of red, green, and blue, plus adds Cyan and Yellow, for more accurate colors.

2-Tuner Picture-in-Picture: You can watch two analog channels or one analog and one digital channel at the same time. Digital channels can be viewed in PIP when the main picture is from an external input (VCR, DVD, or STB). The PIP Swap function can only be performed in the analog RF mode. The two images can be side by side or a small screen over the full screen.

Cinema Smooth Film Mode: Samsung's 3:2 pulldown correction circuitry senses motion found in unconverted 480i DVD video based on 24 fps film productions. This is especially important when converting to a progressive video image, the result is an elimination of visible motion artifacts. Note: This feature is only available when using analog signals from component, S-video, or composite connections.

Digital Natural Image Engine (DNIe): Samsung's DNIe makes input signals sharper, clearer, and more lifelike. It's advanced image processors and six-times density enhancer help to create true-to-life colors and high contrast, while virtually eliminating digital artifacts.

My Color Control Mode: The My Color Control Mode lets you select predefined settings that affect the skin, sky, and grass tones in a picture without affecting other colors on the screen. You can choose one of the following predefined settings: Standard, Red, Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow or Custom. The Custom setting allows you to     individually set and store color saturation values between 0 and 50 for Red, Blue, Green, Pink, and Yellow. If desired, you can instantly reset the colors to the factory default.

Picture Modes: You can choose one of the following picture modes:

• Standard: resets the standard factory settings
• Dynamic: for viewing the TV during the day, or when there is bright light in the room
• Cinema: for viewing the TV in low light, or when playing video games
• Custom: allows you to adjust and store the following settings: contrast, brightness, sharpness, color and tint

Color Weakness Enhancement: The Color Weakness Enhancement feature adjusts the Red, Blue, or Green color to enhance the picture according to the user's particular color weakness.

Picture Sizes: You can choose one of the following picture sizes:

• 16:9: sets the picture to 16:9 wide mode

• Wide Fit: enlarges the aspect ratio of the picture to fit the entire screen

• Zoom 1: magnifies the size of the picture and allows you to move the enlarged picture using the arrows on the remote

• Zoom 2: magnifies the size of the picture more than Zoom 1 and allows you to move the enlarged picture using the arrows on the remote

• 4:3: sets the picture to 4:3 normal mode

Game Mode: When using a video came console, you can optimize your game experience with the Game Mode. The Game Mode enhances dark areas, sharpens the picture, speeds up the image processing response, and enhances the sounds of the games.

Auto Volume: Auto volume automatically adjusts the volume of the desired channel by lowering the sound output when the modulation signal is high or by raising the sound output when the modulation signal is low.

Sound Settings: You can choose from the following sound settings:

• Standard: resets the standard factory settings

• Music: for watching music videos and concerts

• Movie: for watching movies

• Speech: for watching a show that is mostly dialogue

HDMI: This input consists of two HDMI terminals. The HDMI terminals can accommodate a copy-protected digital connection (HDCP) to other devices (such as digital set-top boxes) that have compatible interfaces. One of the HDMI terminals can be used for a DVI-equipped component. A separate analog audio connection and a DVI-to-HDMI adapter will be needed. The HDMI jacks accept 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i signals.

PC: This input consists of left and right audio jacks and an analog RGB (D-Sub 15-pin) jack. This jack allows you to connect a digital set-top box with an RGB output, or a personal computer with a D-Sub 15-pin output. When using the RGB (D-Sub 15-pin) jack, you must use the PC Audio input for your audio connection.

Component Video Inputs: The 2 sets of component video inputs will accept 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i signals.

D-Net: The TV has two 4-pin IEEE1394 jacks for use with digital VCRs and set-top boxes for digital audio and video data. The D-Net jacks also support A/V device control and signal routing, digital video editing and home networking.
