The Bottom Line Although the LED-powered Samsung HL-S5679W does a lot of things right, its picture quality isn't up to the standards set by its high price. Samsung's HL61A750 61-inch rear-projection HDTV delivers excellent overall picture quality, and, compared to flat-panel options, it's a real bargain. With a slick design, well-rounded features, and solid performance, the Samsung HL-S5687W is a top choice for people who want a 1080p big-screen but don't want to break the bank. Although we couldn't quite ignore its uneven screen uniformity, the Samsung HL-T5687S still makes a compelling alternative to flat-screen wallet-busters at this size. The rear-projection Mitsubishi WD-737 series offers the most screen for the least money, and decent picture quality to boot.
