amsung introduces a new generation
digital TV that finally addresses high-
definition performance, compact
design and affordability when compared to
other flat panel designs. The new HLN617W
displays 61 inches of unparalleled wide-
screen viewing area that is elegantly framed
in an ultra-light, thin-bezel cabinet. Weighing
about 102 pounds and a mere 19.4 inches
deep, the HLN617W fits where others don’t.
The secret to this engineering marvel - a
compact digital projector powered by a sin-
gle, postage stamp sized Digital Micromirror
Device (DMD) that generates high definition
video images. These video images are cre-
ated by proprietary digital light processing
(DLP™) techniques, and then magnified by
an advanced array of optics. Its fully digital
video design processes combined with
Samsung’s new DNIe™ video enhancer
optimizes all analog NTSC and wideband
sources be it a VCR, DVD player, camcorder
or TV programming from digital satellite
receivers and HDTV tuners. The new DVI
interface is compatible with the new genera-
tion cable, satellite and off-air high-definition
receivers for a pure digital picture.
Samsung’s HLN617W will also accommo-
date a computer too with no burn-in or
screen-aging issues to worry about. Hang it,
mount it, rest it on a stand or wall-unit, and
simply move it anywhere, its size and weight
offers more placement possibilities over any
other TV over 60 inches in size. Finally,
Samsung lets you put TV in its place.
TV/VIDEO FEATURES
Wide-screen Aspect Ratio
is the ideal screen
format for viewing wide-screen video from DVD
players and the growing availability of broadcast
programming off digital HDTV tuners, cable boxes
and satellite receivers.
DLP™ Projection SystemDLP™ (Digital Light
Processing) technology by Texas Instruments is the
only display solution that enables projection sys-
tems 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™ projection is both a
tried and true and cutting edge technology. Visit

Samsung DNIe™ Video Enhanceror Digital
Natural Image engine, enhances all analog NTSC
and wideband video inputs for an overall improve-
ment in picture quality. DNIe™ by Samsung
improves contrast, white level, picture detail and
incorporates a digital noise reduction to improve
lower quality video.
Automatic Digital Format Conversion
System
is compatible with 1080i and 720P HDTV
formats, 480P EDTV and 480i SDTV formats.
Samsung digital format conversion system will
accept any DTV, Analog TV, or XGA computer RGB
input. All video signals are converted to a 16x9
wide-screen pixel count (1280 x 720 resolution) 
progressive display for flicker-free images.
2nd Generation (HD-2) DMD Chipis Texas
Instrument’s latest micro-display panel. Combined
with Samsung’s advanced light processing optics,
the result is an overall stunning picture quality that
is clear, bright and with outstanding contrast.
Samsung’s HDTV monitor televisions based on
DLP™ technology will deliver a stunning picture
quality that rivals any other display technology
available today. On reliability, the Texas Instrument
DMD panel is immune to the factors that can cause
the performance of other display technologies -
such as cathode ray tubes (CRT), plasma display
panels (PDP), liquid crystal display systems (LCD,
LCoS, HTPS), and film to deteriorate with ongoing
use. The DLP™ panel is insusceptible to the dam-
aging effects of heat, humidity, vibration, and aging.
Projection systems using DLP™ technology enable
Closer
to  
						

							you to see the creators original vision at full impact
again and again, no matter how many times a video or
graphic has been projected.
Single DMD Panel Designdisplays a bright clear
high-definition picture without annoying focus and any
possibleconvergence artifacts seen in display designs
that incorporate multiple micro-display panels or multi-
ple CRT’s.
Faroudja Film Mode 3:2 Pull Downcorrection 
circuitry senses motion found in unconverted 480i DVD
video based on 24 fps film productions. Especially
important when converting to a progressive video
image, the result is an elimination of visible motion 
artifacts. This feature is by-passed on 480P, 720P and
1080i inputs.
3D Y/C Digital Comb Filter constantly analyzes the
three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and
picture changes-over-time, to dramatically reduce edge
image artifacts while improving transition detail.
2-Tuner PIP with side-by-side split screen
enables convenient simultaneous viewing of two TV
programs on the TV screen.
HD Ultra-Fine Pitch Screen(.155mm) further
improves picture clarity especially when viewing higher
definition video sources like DVD and HDTV. Text and
fine details will appear sharper. 
Advanced Translucent On-Screen Display
developed by Samsung enables viewing all on-screen
display information and on-screen menus and simulta-
neously viewing the video in the background.
AUDIO
40-watt stereo audio system
and two way speaker
system offers full range of high quality audio.
BBE®High Definition Sound Processing Circuit
adjusts the phase relationships of the low, mid and high
frequencies and the augmentation of the higher and
lower frequencies. The result is improved brilliance and
clarity of live recorded audio programming, soundtracks
and music.

CONNECTIONS
DVI-HDTV Interface with HDCP copy protection
enables an all-digital rendering of video without the loss-
es associated with an analog interface. DVI supports up
to 24-bit digital RGB data for each pixel for the highest
image quality. High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP) provides a protected interface which opens the
availability of high value content such as premium high-
definition video by means of new generation broadcast
satellite receivers and new digital cable boxes. This DVI-
HDTV interface is compatible with the next generation
name, HDMI, by means of a cable adaptor.
Dual HDTV Component Video Inputsaccommo-
date HD satellite receivers, HDTV tuners and HD cable
boxes that feature component video outputs (Y, Pb, Pr).
These inputs accept 480P, 720P and 1080i.
Dedicated DVD Component Video Input auto
detects 480i or 480 progressive scan DVD players. The
aspect ratio selections for this input supports zoom 1
and 2.
