Best Deals 50 Plasma TV Sale, Samsung HL-P5085W 50-Inch Widescreen HD-Ready DLP Television with PC Input
With its stunning, cutting edge styling and equally stunning high-definition image, Samsung’s HL-P5085W is a sight to behold. The DLP projection set offers a broad, 50-inch screen in a 16:9 aspect ratio and a unique pedestal mount whose lightweight design and slim stature lets it fit where other stands won’t. But the HL-P5085W offers more than just quantity of screen: it’s also engineered for quality.
The secret to this DLP (Digital Light Processing) projection set’s quality is its Emmy-winning technology from Texas Instruments. Samsung has combined its proprietary Cinema Smooth Gen 4 HD light engine and advanced optic enhancements with a single, .8-inch Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) capable of generating high-definition video images with film-like resolution, deep blacks, and robust colors. Samsung’s Cinema Smooth light engine enhances brightness while ensuring an astonishing 2,500:1 contrast ratio.
Texas Instruments’ DMD panel is immune to the factors that can cause other displays to deteriorate with use, imparting a longer life expectancy than that of cathode ray tube (CRT) sets, plasma display panels, and liquid crystal display systems (LCD, LCoS, HTPS). A host of advanced digital interfaces and video inputs make non-issues of connectivity challenges and future proofing.
The HL-P5085W’s automatic digital-format conversion system converts any input (whether DTV, analog TV, or XGA computer sources at 1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i) to a progressive, 16:9 widescreen image with a 1,280 x 720 pixel count. A 3D Y/C digital comb filter dramatically reduces image-edge artifacts while improving transition detail, and the set’s HD ultra-fine-pitch (.155 mm) screen further clarifies images, especially when you’re viewing high-resolution sources like DVD and HDTV.
Samsung’s Cinema Smooth Film Mode 3:2 Pull Down correction circuitry addresses digital distortion in 480i (interlaced) video signals generated from 24 frames-per-second film. Finally, Samsung DNIe video enhancer (Digital Natural Image engine) works with all analog NTSC and wideband video signals for improvements in contrast, white level, and picture detail, incorporating digital noise reduction to improve lower-quality sources.
The set offers digital-video inputs in 2 formats. A DVI-HDTV interface with HDCP copy protection permits all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with an analog interface, and an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) jack channels both digital audio and video to simplify connections with newer DTV set-top boxes and DVD players by reducing hookups to just a single cable and plug.
Other inputs include dual HDTV component-video inputs (480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i) for high-definition satellite receivers, HDTV tuners, and HD cable boxes with component video outputs (Y, Pb, Pr); 3 each composite- and S-video inputs; and 2 RF coaxial inputs for antennas or older VCRs or cable boxes. An audio/video output permits hookup with an external device such as a surround-sound receiver.
A 15-watts-per-channel (x2) audio system with a pair of 2-way speakers comes with built-in SRS TruSurround XT, which simulates compelling surround sound through any stereo playback system, including headphones and the TV’s speakers.
Last but far from least, onboard 2-tuner PIP with side-by-side split-screen viewing grants convenient simultaneous viewing of 2 TV programs, while a supplied universal remote control permits control of the TV, a DVD player, a VCR, and a tuner/surround receiver.

Customer’s reviews Samsung HL-P5085W Buy, 52 Inch DLP TV Sale
“This TV is absolutely wonderful as you may have noticed from other reviews. I have had this for about 1 year and have had no problems. The fan is so quiet and the picture quality in HD and black levels are great. I have an XBOX 360 hooked up with a component inputs and the games look spectacular. Coupled with an elegant stand, it really makes the living room. One other bonus is the DVI and HDMI inputs for true digital picture and sound from higher end DVD and HD boxes, and input of computers. Surfing the internet on 50″ couldn’t be more fun.
Downsides I would say are the heftiness of moving this TV and sound inputs. Find a good spot and leave it there as it does have a glass bottom for the stand. It could use some digital sound inputs as well such as optical or coaxial.
Other than that all you do is plug it in and go. It looks perfect right out of the box. It does not produce much heat at all which is also a benefit if you have it in a smaller room with many other a/v products attached.
This TV has been the best a/v product purchase I have ever made. DLP will continue to be the leader in picture quality and price from here on.”
“I bought this TV in June 2005. I have not had any problems with it and the picture quality in HD is awesome. This TV is powered up an average of 6+ hours every day and the bulb is still bright and again never had a problem. Like other reviewers noted the DVI and HDMI inputs are nice to have, the picture quality is very good, it has a bright display, but on the downside the unit is heavy and would need at least two people to move safely and it doesn’t support 1080p, which at the time of purchase was pricey and not widely available. Overall I am very happy with the TV and would highly recommend it based on my experience.”
