  Reviews of both the Samsung HL-S5679W and HL-S6188W DLP's had nearly perfect color points and after calibration with a calibration disc they were spot on. Yours may have a problem. You could either return it for another one or try to calibrate it first.

  I had a problem with greens on my DLP projector before properly calibrating it. The appearance of grass or brightly-lit trees was very distracting - almost "fluorescent", as you call it. Reds seemed to "pop" too much as well. The problem wasn't the color saturation or tint (although I did end up making some minor corrections to those as well). The problem was the projector's contrast was set way too low and the brightness was set way too high in the standard (out of the box) settings. I used a calibration DVD (using the DVD player's standard default settings) to calibrate the projector and it looks fine now.

  If you have a pre-recorded movie DVD with a "THX Optimizer" bonus, you can use that to calibrate the set almost as well. It almost goes without saying that it really helps to go about calibrating your set systematically instead of just playing around with every setting at random with different source material. Try it before you return the set.

  Even the better Samsungs w/Faroudja chips don't do it for me.
