- Cinema Smooth 1080p Light Engine
Samsung's Cinema Smooth 1080p light engine is the culmination of years of industry-leading research and development. It releases the maximum power of the new 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. - 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. It achieves film-like transitions without pixel breakup found in slower color wheel designs and slower switching LCD microdisplays. Air Bearing technology also makes it whisper quiet. - Next Generation DLP Chips from Texas Instrument
DLP TV by Samsung employs a Texas Instruments DLP chip that is comprised of millions of microscopic mirrors. The DLP chip is faster than any 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. - 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 processors and a six-times density enhancer ensure the best picture from any source.
