Samsung HL-R4667W 46-inch DLP HDTV

Date Published: 4/24/08

The HL-R4667W is a 46-inch Samsung HDTV that uses digital light processing (DLP) technology to achieve high performance in a slim tabletop design. The wide-format screen is set into a black cabinet, with easy-access audio/video and S-video inputs on one side, control buttons on the other side, and stereo speakers below the screen.

The built-in NTSC and ATSC tuners can display high-definition and standard programming without the need for a separate tuner, and the HL-R4667W even boasts a CableCARD slot to give cable users freedom from the cable box.

The picture displays at 1,280X720p, with a contrast ratio of up to 2,500:1 and brightness rated at 1,000 cd/m2. With the DLP technology, there are no annoying fans to distract from the programming, and screen burn-in is not an issue. The picture looks great, with rich blacks, sharp contrast and lifelike colors, helped along by a 3-D Y/C digital comb filter that eliminates hanging dots and rainbow effects. Movies are treated to 3:2 pulldown conversion to eliminate uneven motion even in fast action scenes.

The internal stereo system features a pair of speakers rated at 15 watts of audio output per channel for a full, realistic sound. Twin tuners provide full picture-in-picture features, including split-screen viewing of two full-height images. Other convenience features include an on-screen program guide, video input labels, favorite channel memory and channel labeling.

The HL-R4667 has a full range of connection options. In addition to the side inputs, the rear panel offers two RF inputs, a PC input with audio, two component video inputs, both DVI and HDMI digital-to-digital interfaces, two audio/video/S-video inputs, two IEEE 1394 interfaces, an AnyNet mini jack, and a G-link mini jack.

An optical digital audio output and audio/video output complete the picture. The universal remote control is designed to handle a number of associated components, with a slide panel at the base that keeps less frequently used buttons out of the way.

With its top performance, numerous connection options, and stylish design, the Samsung HL-R4667 is ideal as the hub of a home entertainment system.
