CNET editors' take

Reviewed by:

Reviewed on: 11/07/2007

Although CNET did not review the 50-inch Samsung HL-T5087S, we did review the 56-inch Samsung HL-T5687S. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Samsung DLP-based rear-projection HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size, so we expect the picture quality of the 56-inch model to provide a good indication of how the 50-incher will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Samsung HL-T5687S. For additional details on Samsung's lineup DLP-based HDTVs, see our roundup.
