I absolutely loved my 61″ Samsung! Without a doubt, the best I have owned. However, all good things must end…Mine bit the dust after 10 months of use. First, we lost all red color…then something else went. The good thing about it is that it was still under warranty. We had the local Samsung warranty repair shop take a look at it and they found three defective parts, two of them were in stock. The 3rd pard needed to be ordered. After tree weeks without any communication, we finally found out that there was a backorder for the part we were waiting for. After 6 weeks, I finally called Samsung direct and got someone in the executive department and they were stunned that I had been without the TV for so long. Now, however, we have been informed that Samsung is no longer producing the DLP models and the shortage of parts was key. I have not heard this (discontuing the DLP) from any other source and was skeptical initially. But, because they are replacing the DLP with a highend 52″ LCD, I am beginning to wonder.
Again, the 61″ DLP was a beautiful TV with an abundance of positives. My only negative is that I didn’t have it long enough. I sure hope all the other posters of the 61″ have a long-life TV and that you don’t need parts too soon.

| The revolutionary new LED system available on Samsung DLP HDTVs offers better color, and energy efficiency. |
LED (Light Emitting Diode) for modern color realization
Samsung’s new LED light engine replaces the arc lamp & color wheel design of previous DLP HDTVs, and realizes beautiful color. LED will last the life of the TV. Samsung LED DLP TVs eliminate the need to replace the consumable lamps every few years, and thus have less impact on the environment and on one’s wallet. Samsung’s LED light engine makes possible an Ultra-Wide Color Gamut that exceeds the NTSC defined color space spec for richer color than you’ve seen before on TV. Samsung DLP HDTVs with an LED engine are more energy efficient than similar sized flat panel displays, and the lack of a moving color whell in the design means they perform with less noise than any previous DLP HDTV design.

Cinema Smooth Light Engine
Samsung is the worldwide leader in creating light engines that harness DLP HDTV technology from Texas Instruments.

Now in its sixth year of evolution, Samsung’s Cinema Smooth light engine delivers crisp, 1080p High Definition resolution with high contrast and brightness, defined edges and sharp detail.
Next Generation DLP Chips from Texas Instruments
Samsung employs a Texas Instruments DLP chip that is comprised of millions of microscopic mirrors. The DLP chip is faster than any other HDTV technology, with the mirrors switching on & off 15,000 times a second to deliver a razor-sharp picture for fast moving images. When combined with Samsung’s new Cinema Smooth light engine, the result is a crisp, bright picture with deep, rich colors that’s closer to film.

2 years and still great as ever – Amazon Addict – Austin, TX
I have had this TV for 2 years now. Purchased November 8, 2007. I love it.. Picture quality is awesome and playing games on it is a treat. There is no “rainbow effect” that you hear about on DLP TV’s and no bulbs to replace.. I hope it lasts forever.
3 years and going strong – M. Hoyt – McCordsville, IN USA
I have had the Samsung 6187 for three years. The bulb is till good and the picture quality is excellent. I have had a problem with the Television shutting off with an error message Check Fan Light #2. This has happened twice. If you are computer savvy, this is the fun part. The inside is very similar to a computer and quite easy to replace parts yourself if needed. When the Fan #2 error message comes on, basically the fan needs to be cleaned. Take off all the screws on the back cover and each of the components inside basically plug into each other. The fan in on the right side, rear. I just take a slightly damp cloth and wipe up the dust that builds up in the fan and put it back together. You can do it by just taking off the back and using your finger with a cloth and it may work, but it would be difficult to clean behind the fan without taking the three screws off the plastic housing. The great thing about DLP is when the lamp eventually goes out, you can replace the bulb. An LCD or Plasma has a half life and eventually will go darker, but not the DLP. I give it four stars because it is at least three years old and is quality older technology.
