| Offering a rich feature set and exceptional quality for its price, Samsung HPT4264 42-inch 720p plasma TV uses the company's latest DNIe enhancement circuitry to deliver outstanding brightness, contrast, and image clarity. Use it for home theater and use it for your PC--it's perfect for both. In addition to a standard-broadcast NTSC tuner, it also features an integrated ATSC tuner that can capture over-the-air digital broadcasts from local network affiliates (the set will still require a set-top tuner for receiving non-terrestrial HD broadcasts from channels like HBO or Discovery). Other noteworthy features include a 60,000 hour panel life, Samsung's unique auto pixel-shifting technology to prevent burn-in, a gaming mode, cinema progressive film mode, and 3 HDMI connections. This model is also compatible with an Auto wall-mount Samsung will release this year that is controllable in 3-dimensions via the HTDV's own remote control. Samsung currently offers two 42-inch 720p plasma models; this one and the lower priced HPT4254. this model is set apart from the HPT 4254 by its cosmetic design and by the inclusion of a USB 2.0 connection for playing photo files or MP3s. Both models offer the same high level of digital image processing, 15,000:1 contrast ratio, and HDMI connectivity. If you don't need the USB connection, you may want ot consider the the HPT4254. The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. Thanks to the new 13-bit processing capability of DNIe, the HP-S4253 can produce over 549 billion colors (compared to the one billion colors that TVs with 10-bit processing can produce.

| Never received product after @ 2 weeks of waiting. Apparently Eagle Carrier lost it. However, the Eagle rep said it was Amazons fault. From reading reviews, it appears that this is not the first time Eagle has lost this product. If you order this tv, cross your fingers and hope you have better luck than I did. At this point I will pay more for the same product from a local store. wow...came quick!!!!!!!...eagle called and shipped it next day from tampa to st pete...guys were as professional as you can expect from truck drivers and they helped me scoot it into my garage...i love amazon because they are extremely competitive with pricing...i dont know how they can afford to stay in busines...as for why i chose the top end model when i could have saved 50 bucks on the HPT4254...this model is sleeker looking...thanks amazon for delivering one of the best plasmas on the market at a very affordable price...oh and why did i choose samsung over panasonic...the panny bast model did not offer a vga connection for my laptop... After much research including several trips to name brand stores we decided on this TV from Amazon. There was no sales tax and delivery was free. It was not a refurbished set, it was brand new right out of the box. The picture is awesome! The remote is easy to use as well. The only tip I would offer is that you will have to get a new satellite dish and receiver to get high def reception. (I did not know that when I bought this tv) The cables can be a little pricey too. Over all I am very happy with this set. |
