Introduction

There are a lot of things to like about the Samsung HL-T5087S - LED backlighting means longer bulb life, shorter warm-up cycles, and the elimination of the color wheel and its accompanying rainbow effect. But the HL-T5087S isn't without its shortcomings including prevalent banding, severe lack of calibration options, and a whole host of glitches that confounded even us.

It posts "officially" tomorrow where you can access the full review off the home page. With CES coming I added the forum link early since I'm going to be rather tied up.
