Earlier this year, we called Samsung's HL-S5687W "the best 1080p big-screen we've reviewed so far" in terms of value, and that's still the case.
Like most big-screen HDTVs today, the Samsung HL-S5679W is basically a big box.
The main differentiating feature of the Samsung HL-S5679W is its LED-based light engine, which is fundamentally different from anything else currently on the market--although one other company we know of, NuVision, also sells an LED-based DLP TV.
As one of the first rear-projection HDTVs available with an LED light engine, the Samsung HL-S5679W has a lot to live up to, but let's get this out of the way first: we didn't see any rainbows.
