leader in DLP technology, created the 
breakthrough Cinema Smooth™ light engine that 
produces razor-sharp pictures in 1080p. The 
natural, vivid colors of Samsungs HL-S5688W
are achieved through our 10-bit processing 
system with a 5-segment color wheel that 
enriches the viewing experience, far surpassing 
3 panel technologies or earlier DLP televisions. A
contrast ratio of up to 10,000:1 captures blacker
blacks and crisper whites. And the ultra-fast 
DLP chip results in the fastest video performance
of any HDTV. Best yet, Samsung’s superior 
technology ensures no image burn-in for a 
reliable, long-lasting picture.

Cinema Smooth 1080p Light Engine
Samsung’s Cinema Smooth 1080p light engine is the culmination of years of indust\
ry-
leading research and development. It releases the maximum power of the n\
ew generation
of DMD microdisplays for the most film-like picture. It creates an image\
 with no visible pixel
structure and accurate shading and better low-light detail.
Next Generation DLP Chips from Texas Instruments
Samsung employs a Texas Instruments DLP chip that is comprised of millions of micro-
scopic mirrors. The DLP chip is faster than any HDTV technology, with the mirrors switch-
ing 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.
Faster Color Wheel 
Samsung’s 2.2” color wheel spins at 14,400 rpm for smooth fast-motion video, \
and 
has five color segments for more accurate colors. Comprised of the 3 pri\
mary colors, 
Red, Green and Blue plus Cyan and Yellow. It achieves film-like transitions and 
eliminates the pixel breakup found in slower color wheel designs and slo\
wer-switching
LCD microdisplays. The Cinema Smooth™ light engine uses a whisper qui\
et air 
bearing design.
Samsung’s DNIe™– Digital Natural Image Engine
Samsung’s exclusive Digital Natural Image engine makes the sharpest and clearest\
 images
possible, regardless of the profile of input signals. Five image process\
ors and a six-times
density enhancer ensure the best picture from any source. Now in its fou\
rth generation,
DNIe guarantees the truest colors and highest contrast, while virtually \
eliminating digital artifacts.
My Color Control
You can get the pink tones, the green of the grass and the blue of the sk\
y just the way
you like, without affecting the other colors on the screen. The three ma\
jor colors can be
adjusted to perfectly fit your taste. Self expression meets display perf\
ection.
GreenBlue
Pink
Integrated HDTV Tuner
with the addition of a suitable UHF/VHF antenna delivers the world of fr\
ee off-air DTV and HDTV local broadcast channels.
Cinema Smooth™Light Engine
Samsung is the worldwide leader in creating light engines that harness D\
LP HDTV technology from Texas Instruments. Samsung’s
Cinema Smooth light engine brings together the right optics, electronic \
circuitry and replaceable light source to create a bril liant
picture that’s more lifelike and much closer to film. Now in its fifth year of evolut\
ion, Samsung’s Cinema Smooth light engine 
delivers crisp, 1080p High Definition resolution with high contrast and \
brightness, defined edges and sharp detail.
