Summary:
All I can say about the 61" DLP screen is awesome!!!!!! The sweetest tv. Picture quality is great especially viewed at plasma level resolution through the dvi port on tv at 1024x768 or HDTV equivalent. Was thinking about going with LCD, but didn't because of the lack of brightness and color of comparable sets. Picture and colors are so vibrant. Only problem now is I need High Def on everything I run because the set is so huge! I have had the tv since January 2003 and have had only one problem. Main board video processor tinted colors more green when viewing movies in progressive mode. Samsung came out and replace main board/video processor under the one year warranty which fixed my problem. Besides that no problems. TV is a great compromise for Plasma tv sets without losing any picture quality.

Strengths:
Very thin and lite tv. TV stand weighs more than tv Awesome viewing radius Plenty of component/HDTV, composite and s-video ports, plus dvi port Awesome picture quality!!!! Support for all HDTV formats Don't use tv speakers, but they sound very good Plasma quality without the $15,000 price tag

Weaknesses:
Limited picture and picture selection use with high resolution ports but still has great pip functional (example when viewing component can only pip s-video/composite ports in small pip box, cannot not view component/dvi ports when viewing in lower res ports but great low res to low res pip functionallity). If your not running HDTV and just normal 480p/i then you need to fine adjust the contrast and color settings. Picture gets very saturated through default settings when running at 480p/i. Default settings work perfect for HDTV though. You need to invest in a high end dvd player and HDTV equipment because screen is so large
