Rear-projection televisions still offer the best bang for the buck when you want a large screen HDTV in a room with some light. Maybe that’s why they’re so popular, and DLP is the king of the rear-projection hill.

If you talk DLP, the name Samsung has to come up, because they’re a big player in the DLP market. Maybe that’s why audio|video Revolution decided to take a look at their HL-S6187W 61″ DLP rear-projector. Note that this is a 1080p television, and that it goes for an MSRP of $2,999.

What did a|v rev think?

Supposedly this set has a contrast ratio of 10,000:1, which would help give it a good picture quality. The black level is very very good. The set has problems, though, transitioning from dark to bright.

It’s good to note that this 1080p set does indeed accept a 1080p signal. All you HD DVD, BD, and PS3 fans take note.

For the price this is a very good set, but it does have its shortcomings. Check out the full review at audio|video Revolution. Link below.
