Engadget HD giveaways: win a Samsung HL-S5679W DLP with LED backlight

It's finally time to find out who won that Philips 42-inch plasma from last time on Engadget HD -- so without further delay, will Mike M please stand up! (Actually, we've already emailed Mike, so if you're a Mike M and haven't heard from us, well, good luck this week!) So today's HDTV we're giving away is a Samsung HL-S5679W DLP, a hugemongous display sure to make that living room or den glow in the warmth of a massive LED backlit screen. For the record, here are the specs on today's prize:
- 56-inch LED backlit 1080p display
- DNIe video enhancer and Cinema Smooth light engine
- 4,000:1 contrast ratio
- Built-in NTSC / ATSC tuners with PIP
- 2 HDMI, 2 component, 3 composite, and 2 S-Video inputs
- We're also throwing in a 6-foot HDMI cable from eHDMI
- You may enter other Engadget contests, however...
- You may only enter this contest once; if you enter more than once on this particular contest post you'll be automatically disqualified and barred from all future giveaways. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.) You may enter future Engadget relaunch giveaway contests though!
- You can only win once. (If you win and then try to go for a second prize during our relaunch giveaways, you'll be automatically disqualified, etc.)
- This contest is open to the US only, sorry!
- You will be shipped your HDTV in a few weeks when all our contests are over. Thanks for your patience!
P.S. -Are you as totally stoked about Lost tonight as we are? Our guess: probably.

None but Time Warner Cable and a Samsung HL-S5679W would be referred method of HD delivery
Steve Robertson @ May 3rd 2009 8:27PM
Comcast. I would love a new LCD TV. My TV is not working well.
BDrake @ May 17th 2009 5:17PM
HD from Comcast into my old Sony 34" HD tube. In need of an upgrade!
Anthony Rieger @ Oct 5th 2009 8:29PM
I currently have DirecTV, but am open to any other HD provider (as long as it one saves me money over the other!) Speaking of money, I currently have NONE, ZERO, NADA, ZILCH thats no HD Televison, due to my economic restraints I am stuck using a 1988 Pioneer 55 Inch Rear Projection television! The only thing HD about this thing is when you scream Hot Damn! when you stub your toe trying to move the beast! Everytime I go to my local A/V store, I just stop and stare at the technology I only wish I could afford to bring into my home!
