4.0 out of 5 stars Low Price Plasma Delivers, December 8, 2008

This review is from: Samsung PN42A400 42-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV (Electronics)

As you can see this TV is priced to go! $699 for a 42 inch plasma? That's right. The catch? Well, It's only 720p. But don't let that stop you from buying this sweet unit. Here's the rundown: 1) Good Black Levels 2) 3:2 pull down for improved DVD playback 3) many aspect ratio settings 4) and many, many points of calibration. Simply put, the picture is awesome and you will likely spend the first 10 hours in disbelief that the picture is this good for the price. The drawbacks: 1) Not 1080P 2) No S-video Input.

I bought this plasma after about 6 months of rewviews, research, and shopping. $699.99. Dont be fooled by 1080p. Your eye can't tell the difference unless you are within 5.5ft. Plasma Tv's have a faster refresh rate than LCD(even the 120hz LCD's), 100,000hr life, no burn issue anymore, and most have a better contrast.This TV is really awsome I compared it to the Samsung TOC(touch of color) series. The picture from a blu-ray player were virtually identical! This TV has many many settings that you can really tweak the color, contrast, etc. although you probably wont need them since it looks great out of the box. Sound is great as well, some reviews say different, but really is sounds great. Save you money dont believe the hype and bull about 1080p 120Hz LCD. You CAN get the same beautiful picture at a fraction of the cost.

Just got this tv and the picture quality if very good (as good as my higher end Samsung 50inch PDP). It has limited inputs and no QAM tuner, but otherwise seems to be a very nice tv without all the extras.
