Pros Bright Picture, High Contrast, 3.1'' Thin, Thin Bezel, DVI and all Inputs,...
Cons EDTV(not HDTV), lower Black Level than Panasonic, Useless Built in Amp.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this display for my Home Theatre to replace my Sony 36XBR TV from a few years ago after having a very good experience with the Samsung 21.3'' LCD.

With the expensive but very cool Samsung Pneumatic Floorstand FS420 this TV is a showstoper with HDTV signals and DVD's playing... Read full review »

Excellent value, good first plasma

byjrisberg Sep 26, 2006
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Inexpensive, includes stand, nice picture, accepts HDTV signals
Cons Not true HD, no speakers, no HDTV tuner, difficulty displaying dark images
Recommended it? Yes

We bought this TV in 2004 and have been very pleased overall. At the time it was one of the cheapest 42" plasmas available at around $2800, and now it can be had new for closer to $1500 thanks to the rapid developments in plasmas. If, like us, you don't have HDTV service or immediate plans to... Read full review »

Stunning Graphics, But A Tragic Audio Flaw

bybob_slone Oct 26, 2003
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Picture, variety of video inputs
Cons S-Video quality, lack of L-R audio line-out
Recommended it? Yes

In all fairness, I've been an audiophile much longer than home theater has been on the scene, so I place a lot of importance on audio features and performance. This display delivers the EDTV video performance that you pay for. Unfortunately, the set does not provide a line-out audio signal, which... Read full review »

Excellent value plasma

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Excellent price (value), DVDs look spectacular.
Cons Disappointing with ordinary satellite signal.
Recommended it? Yes

We purchased this 8X4 panel on sale at Future Shop 1 month ago, and overall we are very satisfied with the quality of the picture, especially with a progressive scan DVD source into the component input. We saw the SPN4235 in the store next to the Panasonic and LG 42in EDTVs and the Sony 42in HD... Read full review »

Pros Excellent picture, great contrast and brightness. a near perfect image.
Cons no speakers,would you really watch plasma on tv speakers? tv/video menu a little annoying.
Recommended it? Yes

I originally picked up a Daewoo dp-42sm plasma because i couldnt afford the $1,000.00 more for the samsung. reading their specs the daewoo seemed like a better value. Boy, was i wrong. The daewoo turned out to be a total nightmare. after 2 defective units and no consistancy between them in color or... Read full review »

Pros Fine when it works.
Cons You should stay away from Samsung and Tweeter.
Recommended it? No

I bought this set from Tweeter on 9/29/03. Got it home and it had no speakers. After this problem was corrected, set worked fine until 6/14/04. (8 1/2 months) At that time the screen went completely dead. Had sound, but no picture. Called Tweeter and it the first appt i could get was a full week... Read full review »

A Great Buy

bytsunamii Dec 31, 2003
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Amazing price for the quality. Latest connections like DVI.
Cons Without HD service its a stinker and no audio for those without a receiver.
Recommended it? Yes

If you are considering a plasma this is a great one to think about, if you dont want to pay through the nose. I picked mine up for 3k so shop around and yes I got it from an authorized dealer with all the bells and whistles (Price match).
The picture is great even compated to the higherend... Read full review »

Audio Work Around, Only 1 Composite video

byskitahoe Nov 20, 2003
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Price, Component Video inputs, DVI & SVGA
Cons Only 1 composite input, No audio out to receiver
Recommended it? Yes

A very nice picture with the component inputs and the rf and composite are decent as well. Because the set DOES NOT HAVE AUDIO PRE OUTS to go to your home theater receiver, you will need a LINE LEVEL CONVERTER which can be purchased online, at Kragen or any CAR Audio shop for under $20. The basic... Read full review »

Pros Sleek Design, Price and Component & DVI reception
Cons Horrible Satellite Reception
Recommended it? Yes

I just purchased this set from ebay for about $2500US. It came with free side speakers. I dont need to hook up audio through this plasma as i already have a theater system. The regular satellite viewing is horrible. I see pixels, temporary screen burn in and color degradation. But DVD reception is... Read full review »
