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 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-S5087W 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.
