Description: This version of the Samsung HL-T5676S is a 56-inch, rear-projection rear-projection TV. Compared to other rear-projection TVs on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $1,575.
Pros: Has a 1920 x 1080 Resolution. This is more favorable than the average TV on the market today, but is to be expected for a TV of this price. With HDTV compatibility, this product can display images that are sharper and more realistic than regular television when mated to a high definition signal.
Cons: None noted, given available product data.
Suitability: Suited for those who want as large a screen as possible. Also, a wide aspect display such as this one is ideal for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming. Can connect to a computer via VGA (HD-15).
Value: In view of its relatively inexpensive price, this TV has good features for the money.
