Finally Happy
First we bought the 42 inch vizio LCD (XVT) because of the 1080p and 120hz refresh, and it was on sale at Costco, but we found it to be annoyingly grainy, even while watching discs on our high-end Bluray machine (Sony BDP-BX1). After much deliberation and research online, we decided for the money we should be thrilled about the purchase, and so returned the Vizio to Costco (they took it, no questions asked, even without the box) and bought this Samsung plasma from Bestbuy for $100 less. The resu...

Great TV overall, even better considering the price.
I got this TV in the Best Buy bundle they offered with the Xbox 360. For the price, I had absolutely not expected how great this TV is. The picture quality is definitely amazing, and I still can't find a TV in any display stores with better HD quality so far. Like all plasmas, it does show the true black perfectly and there's no motion blur what-so-ever in any of the video games or sports programming I've played so far. It also has inputs galore (3 HDMIs, VGA/sound PC input, optical audio ou...

The Best Plasma This Size and Price Point
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I purchased this Samsung PN42B450B on May 20, 2009. Today is Thursday May 28, 2009. As promised it arrived shipped from 6AVE in exactly one week. I helped the U.P.S. man carry it in yesterday at about 9:30 a.m. All the way from the warehouse in New Jersey, it was easy to track the shipment to our house in Orlando, Florida. One week is pretty good for FREE SHIPPING.
Our old...

Best budget HDTV
Great quality at this price point, way above my expectations!
My goal was to get an HDTV for no more than $1000.
This is how I convinced that Plasma 42" 720 p is the right choice for me .I've done quite bit of click shopping at online stores- amazon, eBay, newegg, abt.
1. Size: I don't need a TV bigger than 50". I live in a Condo. This is for my living room. Watch distance is ~8 feet.
2. Output: For <=50" size, I can not distinguish if the output ...

Excellent TV/price.
Great TV for the price. Out of the box settings were very good. You could get a better TV for 2000 dollars, but this seems to be the best TV in this price point by a wide margin. I'll be dropping cable now since I have a HD antenna, and the picture looks amazing! Everything is so smooth, and the color is great. I had no problem giving up the 1080p features of higher end TVs for this TV (I don't have a blu-ray player, and it's only 42 in so you're not going to notice the difference hardly). Worth...

No Headphone Jack!!!!!
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) First of all, this is a great TV despite my 2 stars. After two weeks, everything is perfect with DirecTV HD. The sound, the picture, everything.
Everything, that is, except the lack of a headphone jack.
Now, I knew it didn't come with a headphone jack when I bought it. But on the Samsung web site, it stated that I could use the audio out to connect to headphones.

Keep In Mind
the price looks good on these televisions but the catch is plasmas use significantly more power than LCD'S. I love the picture and the price but I don't love what it's doing to my power bills. For me this television amounts to a 1 -2kw hr/ per day increase in power consumption and at the end of the month to me that's significant amount. If it wasn't already on the wall I'd exchange it for a more expensive LCD model. LCD televisions are also lighter which can be important when it comes to handlin...

Could not be happier
I've had the same 27 inch CRT since I was in college. When I bought it, it was a huge set up from the 19 inch that I grew up with.
However, ten years later, women would literally come to my apartment, point at the TV and laugh.
Figured it was timed to make the next step up. I brought the plasma and later a PS3. Watched "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and I'm sold.
The axiom is that 720p is indistinguishable from 1080p on screens smaller than 50 inchs. My experien...

Awesome TV
Last Saturday, May 8, I stopped the shopping and took the plunge, purchasing this great plasma tv---for $699 at BB!!!!!! Can you believe that price for a plasma tv of this caliber!!?? It is my third flat panel tv (the others are a JVC 37" LCD and a Sony 42" DLP/LCD, one in the family room and one in the basement)and I like this plasma best of all. The colors are great, the remote is set up logically and the on-screen menu is easy to use. Recently, I had a new floor to ceiling bookcase built ...

Amazing TV--HORRIBLE service!
This tv is absolutely beautiful and I challenge anyone to find a bigger or better one in this price range. Plasma was the way for us to go because we generally watch tv at night and this minimizes glare amazingly. Simple setup and crystal clear picture out of the box. The bad news: the shipping company PILOT FREIGHT. I ordered this on may 17 (a Sunday). I was told guaranteed delivery the following Friday (the 22nd). Granted, Memorial Day was that Monday, but by Wednesday of the NEXT week I had h...
