The Affordable 56″ Widescreen Solution
Shopping for a television for your home theater has become much like shopping for a car. With so many models available, finding the perfect one for your long-term needs that fits in your budget can be a harrowing experience.
Whether you are on a budget or simply do not wish to spend a fortune on a widescreen television, the Samsung HL-S5687W is a great option that will allow you to sleep soundly at the end of the day. From the leader in DLP (digital light processing) hardware, this 56″ rear-projection model delivers top of the line High-Def Television with 1080p of vertical display resolution. 
The first thing about this model you will notice is the sleek design, which will fit nicely with most modern home theater decor. Next, at only 16.3″ deep, this model will waste very little space and should fit snugly into your entertainment center. It’s also relatively light in weight, tipping the scales at just under 74 lbs. and can be moved around with relative ease by one person.
Though priced significantly lower than its main competitors at less than $2,000, the Samsung offering also features dual compatible HDMI inputs to connect your Blu-Ray DVD player, as well as a PC input to play your favorite next generation games. Poring over reviews, it appeared the only drawbacks of this model were the absence of picture-in-picture, fire wire, and cable card, features that are quickly losing necessity in today’s marketplace.
To make up for those losses, Samsung completely redesigned the menu system for this model and makes navigating the intuitive interface a snap. A USB port is another nice feature that allows the user to display their favorite digital photographs, as well as play their mp3 collection with little trouble.

Go to your local A/V store to test drive it for yourself, but make sure you browse the internet for an even better price. Even after shipping, you should definitely be able to beat the retail price.
For offering superior visual quality and an attractive frame at a price even a single-father of three can appreciate, this HD TV garners two green envy buttons.
