Slim DLP HDTV technology had it's first public U.S. demonstration at CEDIA EXPO 2006. Slim DLP HDTV reduces television depths to enable wall-mounting solutions. The combination of 10" thin designs and a weight nearly half of flat-panel solutions, DLP HDTV can easily be placed in a variety of room settings and environments. The first slim DLP HDTV will be available from Samsung later this year.

First demonstrated at this year's CES, the first LED-based 1080p DLP HDTVs from Samsung are now shipping with units from NuVision expected later this fall. Developers say DLP HDTVs with an LED light source generate superior color performance, and combined with the inherent speed of DLP technology, a color refresh rate up to 48x the standard TV frame rate. LED technology also increases the color saturation to nearly 140% of the NTSC TV standard, provides Instant On/Off functionality, and replaces a traditional bulb with a long-lasting light source. LED-based prototype DLP TVs were first shown at the 2006 International CES, with the Samsung HL-S5679W winning "Best in Show" in CNET's video category.

According to The NPD Group, DLP was the number one selling 1080p TV technology in July 2006 with 57 percent of total U.S. 1080p TV sales. "DLP technology is inside 1 out of every 5 big-screen sets sold in the US," said Adam Kunzman, Business Manager, DLP HDTV Products, Texas Instruments.
