Summary

Description courtesy of Vanns.com:

The Samsung HLR6167W displays 61 inches of breathtaking widescreen viewing area that is elegantly set in a compact, light-weight,"floating screen" design cabinet. This HDTV set is Digital Cable Ready (DCR) and includes CableCARD, which means you won't need a set-top box to enjoy basic digital cable reception. (Be sure to check with your local cable company for CableCARD compatibility and availability.) With the proper antenna, the built-in analog/digital (NTSC/ATSC) tuner will receive free over-the-air HDTV signals. Weighing less than 100 pounds and a mere 16.7 inches deep, the HLR6167W offers more viewing screen and less bulkiness. This TV will fit where others won't. The secret to this engineering marvel is a compact digital projector powered by a single, postage stamp-sized Digital Micro-Mirror Device (DMD) that generates high definition video images. Combined with Samsung's proprietary Cinema Smooth 720p Light Engine and other technically advanced optical enhancements, this Samsung R-Series DLP TV allows you to experience film-like video images with deeper blacks and more robust colors. Equipped with a host of advanced digital interfaces and video inputs, connectivity challenges and "future-proofing" are a non-issue. Hang it, mount it, rest it on a stand or wall-unit, or simply move it anywhere anytime. Its size and weight offer more placement possibilities than other TV designs.
