This TV is AWESOME. Think twice before you buy an LCD.
We had two LCDs out of the box and hooked up at home. It's a long story, but we ended up taking both of them back for different issues, one of which turned out to be a bad cable. CC was so great to take them back and we hadn't considered a plasma because of the glare issue. Well, I started reading about this Samsung plasma and how that had implemented some sort of anti glare system. We went back and I realized how much more vivid the colors are on this TV than an LCD. Plus, I thought the pi...

The Best Picture At A Reasonable Price Point
I intended to buy the newest Panasonic 42 inch plasma, but when I did a direct comparison of the pictures provided by the Panasonic and the Samsung, the Samsung was far superior re. brightness, contrast, and resolution. I bought the Samsung, and am extremely pleased. The shiny finish also looks great (much better than the dull finish on the Panasonic). For people buying their first plasmas, please note that the 10 watt speakers (which are common for all 42 inch plasmas) are barely adequate. T...

Buyer Beware - You won't want to stop watching TV!
Like so many others, I was searching for prices on the Panasonic 42" plasma, when I came across a number of other consumers who "found" the Samsung, positively reviewed.
I first purchased a Model 4253 from Amazon, and after it was delivered, found that the screen had burn-in. Although the packaging was bit suspect, I had assumed it was a new unit..."it just COULDN'T be burn-in".
I called Samsung (the waiting-time for tech support...about 20 seconds!!!)...and when I explained the proble...

Great Set for the Money
I had been eying this TV for a few months and finally bought it last week.
Out of the box it needs adjustment (but any TV would) to make it look the best it can be. When you do dial in the settings, the picture is gorgeous. It comes with a few burn-in reduction features that work very well. I have so far only had a tiny bit if image retention (not burn in) do to user error and it was remedied within 30 seconds of using the TV's "wipe" feature. I have watched a number of 2.35:1 DVD's ...

A great purchase and a good buying experience-First Impression
I ordered the Samsung 4254 on July 31st and it arrived on August 10th which matched the estimated delivery-time exactly. The TV was shipped from Harrisburg PA and sent to my home in central NH. The EGL 'white-glove' delivery was as advertised. The TV was brought into my house, the box was opened so I could check the condition of the TV. The set arrived in original packing and in perfect condition. The delivery men even offered to take the set down to my TV-room. EGL was great!
I had...

Great picture and great value---what you expect from Samsung
This is brand new from Samsung. Two features enticed me to choose this over LCD:
* 15,000:1 contrast ratio---this is as high as you'll currently get in a set that goes for around $1500
* Anti-glare technology
I've seen friends' plasmas for years. They all had serious glare issues, greater than what were present in a tube tv. The family room in my new house has 20' high ceilings and south-facing 20' high windows. But I see no glare even with the blinds open!
I'm t...

Excellent Plasma TV
After considerable amount of research I decided to buy this TV, as most of the reviewers on Amazon has pointed out, This TV has the best picture your money can get PERIOD.

Buy with confidence, this TV is superb, Excellent Picture Quality, Lots of adjustments available for user preferences which...

Awesome television
I had been researching HDTV for months, and had pretty much settled on a specific LCD television in our price range (a Sony Aquos). My wife and I went to a local big box store to take one last look, and we saw this Samsung Plasma. Quite simply, it blew the rest of the televisions out of the water, especially the ones in our price range. The picture is absolutely gorgeous, especially once it's calibrated. And don't be turned off by 720p vs. 1080p -- on a TV this size at least, there's no way ...

Gorgeous picture, great price
I know the latest flavor of the month is 1080p, and that LCDs are more fashionable for certain uses, but after significant research I purchased this 720p Plasma unit and have been THRILLED with the picture quality, features and looks. Once I calibrated the colors/settings it had a nicer picture than my HD projector, which is saying something.
And the audio isn't nearly as bad as some other reviews suggested.
This tv is fantastic.

Just one SERIOUS flaw which could have been so easily remedied
Plasma manufacturers such as Samsung claim that "burn ins" are a thing of the past, yet at the same time they warn you not to watch too many anamorphic widescreen movies (i.e. Star Wars with a 2.35:1 ratio) because the black bars will damage your set. I don't know about the rest of you people, but a very large portion of the DVD's I own are anamorphic widescreen and I'm not ready to throw them out just yet. Why didn't Samsung just create a zoom-in picture mode on the remote that would crop out...
