Date: 2009-03-03 Awesome Plasma Display! Amazing for the money! This review is for the Samsung HPT4264 which is this models predecessor. I can only imagine this TV is as good or better, and I could not be happier with mine! I use it to watch TV (HD & regular), play video games (PS2) and watch DVD's on an upconvert DVD player. The picture is stunning. Better than my Sharp LCD, way better than my Olevia LCD, better than the Sony plasma's I have seen, and also slightly better than the Panasonic that my friend has. For the money, I don't think you can do better. I was a Panasonic fan until I saw a friend's Samsung and was blown away by the colors, so sharp and vivid (and more so than the Panny). My next TV purchase will be a Samsung LCD which a friend has recently aquired and in 1080P and no plasma burn to worry about, it seems like the way to go, especially for video games. Incidently, I broke in my TV in as recommended, and I do play PS2 on it, and it has not displayed any permanent burn-in. But that topic is for an entirely different debate of plasma vs. LCD. I think the only way you can do better than this TV price/performance is to consider a Samsung LCD 1080p, which have come down a lot in price, but will still set you back a few hundo more than this one. If you buy this I don't think you will be disappointed! Date: 2009-02-26 Good lookin' TV for little money! After shopping around, Best Buy, going-out-of-business Circuit City, H.H. Gregg, this was by far the best price for a 42" plasma TV I found. With free shipping and no sales tax, it was the best deal. It arrived within a week, carted in and set up by a private firm. (I actually set it up myself because I wanted to save the packing box for when I move). The picture is very good, and setup was easy. We have been enjoying it for about a month now, and I would do the same thing again. The picture is really just as good as the cable will allow, but overall, it is a great set. Date: 2009-02-22 It's capable of displaying "1080p" resalotion. I have a PS3 and i thought i would not be able to display 1080p. but i was curious so i set my PS3 to 1080p in the display options menu thinking the screen would just go black or blank or would say "mode not supported" but the screen when to black for a second and then came back at 1920x1080 i pressed the info button on the remote and it said 1920x1080 @60Hrts, BUT when i set my PS3 to 720p the info says 1280x720p @60Hrts, or when i set my PS3 to 1080i it says 1920x1080i @60Hert the difference the "p" or the "i" when PS3 is set to 1080p it does not say 1920x1080"p" but at 720p it does. so make of that what you will, at 1080p it looks amazingly better then 720p, plus with a 20,000:1 on screen contrast ratio and a 3D sync out this is one hell of amazing display for the money. Date: 2009-02-13 Still great, 6 months later I saved up all of last summer to buy an LCD or Plasma TV. I finally decided on this model, and after half a year, I am sure I made the right call. I have it connected to an HDTV cable box, a PS3, and a wii, and everything looks incredible. When I was browsing through Best Buy, I couldn't even tell a difference between 1080p and 720p in a set of this size, so sticking with the 720p is a great way to save. My one complaint would be that sometimes it seems like there is a small flash of white, or at least a lighter color, when a scene shifts to something really dark. Maybe that's because I don't have everything set up perfectly, but it's really a minor inconvenience. Long story short - this is a great looking TV set that is affordable and reliable, even 6 months later. I highly recommend it. Date: 2009-02-12 A Great Deal Samsung PN42A450 42-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV is just an outstanding deal. Even though it's (only) 720P, the picture is superb. The transaction with Amazon and it's shippers was flawless. * Price is subject to change. |
