Samsung’s HL T6176s rear-projection DLP television stands out amongst others with all emphasis on the screen.  A thin, glossy, piano-black bezel borders the screen and the speakers fall just below.  Samsung’s logo and some indicator lights are the only departures from an otherwise sleek and smooth presentation.  All other controls are located to the right side of the screen.  It is noteworthy to say that this set is merely 11.5-inches deep, nothing short of a modern marvel for rear-projection technology today.

Touting all the necessities for today’s HD sets, the HL T6176s includes Full HD 1080p support, ample connectivity options including 3 HDMI inputs (1 on the side), a 10,000:1 contrast ratio and a five segment color wheel.  These features combine for a picture capable of delivering rich, dark blacks, as well as vibrant and bright colors that are accurate and sharp.

Expert reviews emphasize the overall look of the set and how the picture, as it should, dominates the other features of the set.  They specifically mentioned the .8-inch thick (or thin) bezel and shallowness of the cabinet for a 61-inch monster.  The only drawback mentioned was the use of a color wheel. User reviews loved the picture as well, but brought up the fact that bulbs must be replaced every so often and should be factored into the overall value of the set.

For a larger-than-life experience on a modest budget, Samsung’s HL T6176s is definitely a place to start your search.  This model makes an impressive addition to Samsung’s reputation in the rear-projection DLP space.
