Next Generation DLP Chips from Texas Instruments
Samsung employs a Texas Instruments DLP chip that is comprised of millions of micro-
scopic mirrors. The DLP chip is faster than any 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.
Samsung’s DNIe™– Digital Natural Image Engine
Samsung’s exclusive Digital Natural Image engine makes the sharpest and clearest images
possible, regardless of the profile of input signals. Five image processors and a six-times
density enhancer ensure the best picture from any source. Now in its fourth generation,
DNIe guarantees the truest colors and highest contrast, while virtually eliminating digital artifacts.
My Color Control
You can get the pink tones, the green of the grass and the blue of the sky just the way
