Full HD 1080p resolution and Samsung Cinema Smooth technology deliver a wide range of brilliant colors, with bright images and crisp definition.

A wide range of audio, video and HDMI inputs allow digital connectivity to Cable/Satellite boxes, Blu-ray players, AV receivers and more.
Please note: Samsung recently changed the suffix on this TV from HLT-6187X-XAA to HLT-6187SAX. The change was not technical in nature and there is no difference other than the suffix in the model number.

Review
Great TV. I’ve had this for several months now, and it produces a beautiful image, only slightly less “brilliant” than a LCD panel. The piano black finish is stunning, but does get smudged easily. I don’t use the internal speakers or amp, so I can’t attest to this unit’s sound quality, but image quality is superb. The only complaint I have is that every time the input signal changes ever so slightly, the HDMI port switches to “searching for signal” for about 15 seconds. This gets annoying. I currently have it connected to a Denon 3808 via HDMI, and all my other equipment is connected to the Denon (i.e. the only cable going to the TV is a HDMI cable). Whenever I switch from the DTV to the HTPC (or to and fro any other component) the TV goes into “Searching for signal” for about 15 seconds. I’m learning to live with it, but it’s annoying. Other than that, great TV. I had heard about a “darker band through the middle”, but I haven’t experienced that at all.
