Cinema Smooth™Light Engine
Samsung is the worldwide leader in creating light engines that harness
DLP HDTV technology from Texas Instruments. Samsung’s Cinema
Smooth light engine brings together the right optics, electronic circuitry
and replaceable light source to create a brilliant picture that’s more 
lifelike and much closer to film. Now in its sixth year of evolution,
Samsung’s Cinema Smooth light engine delivers crisp, 1080p High
Definition resolution with high contrast and brightness, defined edges
and sharp detail.

LED (Light Emitting Diode)
for modern color realization
LED replaces arc lamp & color wheel and realizes 
beautiful color
– LED will last the life of the TV (No lamp to change)
– Samsung LED DLP TVs eliminate the need to replace 
the consumable lamps every few years, and thus have 
less impact on the environment and on one’s wallet.
– Ultra-Wide Color Gamut exceeds NTSC defined 
color space
– More energy efficient than similar sized flat panel displays
– Ultra quiet (no color wheel noise)
Next Generation DLP Chips from Texas Instruments
Samsung employs a Texas Instruments DLP chip that is comprised of millions of microscopic
mirrors. The DLP chip is faster than any other 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 sixth generation
(since 2002), 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
you like, without affecting the other colors on the screen. The three major colors can be
adjusted to perfectly fit your taste. Self expression meets display perfection.
