							Worry-free connectionsAdvanced Picture Quality
Six-times Density Enhancer
This groundbreaking image resolution enhancer
displays extremely high-resolution pictures that
are six times as dense as the input’s sample 
rate for sharper images.
My Color Control
Samsung’s patented “My Color Control”
technology allows you to control specific 
colors without affecting the whole screen.
Now, Samsung provides six-color control
selections:* white, red, pink, yellow, green 
and blue. It’s your picture – you decide.
* For model HL-R5087W, Samsung provides three 
color control selections: blue, green, and pink.
Contrast Enhancer 
Brightness and contrast levels are enhanced 
for deeper, richer blacks with greater detail,
and more natural whites.
Motion Optimizer 
Fast-moving images are optimized to produce
more natural-looking motion, thus reducing video
noise or blurring.
Detail Enhancer
DNIe analyzes video signal elements in order to
produce sharper detail, clearer image separation
and more natural edge transition.
Color Optimizer
Colors are reproduced with a more lifelike realism,
whites are more accurate, and skin tones are
given a more natural hue.
Samsung’s DNIe –
Digital Natural Image engine
Without DNIe With DNIe
Connect your digital sources with smart component
inputs that accept 480i/480p/720p/1080i signals. HDMI
3allows for the transmission of both video and
audio digital signals through a single connection for
higher quality and fewer wires.
A Samsung DLP TV can also function as a
high-quality WXGA PC monitor.* Use your Samsung DLP TV’s remote to enjoy 
the world of digital cable and HDTV thanks to
CableCARD
™technology.4For the times when
digital cable features require a set-top box,
such as Video-On-Demand, you can connect
that box to a second input.
Digital Cable Ready
Samsung’s Digital Natural Image engine makes input
signals sharper, clearer and more lifelike. Its advanced
image processors and six-times density enhancer create
true-to-life colors and high contrast, while virtually
eliminating digital artifacts.
Cinema Smooth™Light Engines
Samsung is a worldwide leader in creating light engines that harness Digital
Light Processing technology. 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. The 
720p and 1080p Cinema Smooth light engines release the maximum power 
of DMD microdisplays for a remarkably film-like picture. They create a crisp,
High Definition image with no visible pixel structure, accurate shading and 
better low-light detail.
Faster color wheel
Samsung’s 2.6 color wheel spins at 10,800
rpm for smooth fast-motion video, and has
seven color segments for more accurate
colors. It achieves film-like transitions and
eliminates the pixel breakup found in slower
color wheel designs and slower-switching 
LCD microdisplays. Air Bearing technology
makes it whisper quiet.

1080p Cinema Smooth Gen-6 Light Engine
Samsung’s 56 model can display the 
full 1920 x 1080p High Definition format.
It converts HD signals to 1080p for a picture 
with higher contrast ratios, better brightness
and improved perceived resolution, particularly
for content that was produced in 1080p.
The benefits of 1080p are best appreciated 
on screens of 56 or larger,
3and the full 1920
horizontal pixel count.
DLP TV by Samsung employs a Texas
Instruments DLP chip. These new-generation
microdisplays have switching speeds twice as
fast as previous generations and up to 1,000
times faster than competing microdisplay
technologies. 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.
About the size of 
a postage stamp, 
the DLP chip is 
covered with 
tiny mirrors.
