Amazon.com Product Description
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.
Single-tuner Picture in Picture
This HDTV has a picture-in-picture feature, but it only has a single tuner which does not allow POP to function n the same mode. For example, you can't watch one TV channel in the main screen and another channel in the PIP screen. You can watch a tv channel in one screen and view contnet from your computer or a DVD in another. This tends to be the functional limitation of PIP in most HDTVs currently available.

very good value.......2007-12-27
The Tv Arrived on time by Eagle logistics, They brought it in set it up and made shore it worked. The TV works great. I have only 1 complaint. The blue power light on the bottom of the screen is to bright when the set is off in a dark room, almost like a night light.Samsung HPT4264 42" Plasma HDTV
Recommended.......2007-12-25
We have only had this product for a few weeks so we don't have anything to review for the long-term use of our Samsung. But the picture quality is great! The TV goes through a set-up menu step-by-step automatically when you first turn it on which was a nice feature. The blacks are also black not gray like most LCDs. The sound from the TV is OK, but I would recommend going through a separate audio system. Overall I am very happy with my purchase so far.
Samsung Makes a Great TV.......2007-12-25
This is a great TV, and I'm very satisfied with the product. The local delivery service in DC scheduled 3 different delivery times before actually delivering the TV on the 4th try. I wish they would have told me when it was coming correctly the first time.
Looks Great So Far.......2007-12-21
Not much to add to most of these reviews. The set was delivered promptly and very professionally by Eagle. The set itself looks fantastic on HD and even better than I expected on standard resolution. As other reviewers have noted, the factory default settings are terrible. I found the AVSForum website to be a very helpful starting place to learn about burn-in issues and suggested pictture settings. The Samsung's on-screen menu is very easy to navigate to make the initial set-up and changing settings a breeze.
Overall, I am very happy with the purchase.
Samsung 42" Plasma.......2007-12-20
First of all delivery was 2 days early and greatly appreciated. The two delivery men were extremely capable and nice.
Secondly, after all my research, this plasma model is just what we wanted. It is located in a SUNROOM with windows all around and the TV on the only full wall. Neither my husband or myself can believe the non-glare. we can barely see the outlines of the full windows in the screen but they DO NOT hinder the picture. The reviews I read about the poor sound for this model is not reflected in our use. Possibly because we have a tiled floor and a lot of windows the sound carries all around the room. It's only two days old in our home and we suppose strange things could happen to change our minds but it IS ALL we had hoped it would be. absolutely can not believe the non-glare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great product.......2007-10-08
great plamsa the price is right and the game mode is sweet! i would recomend this to everyone
Awsome HDTV!!!.......2007-05-11
Well I brought this plasma about a month ago, I'd definately give it five star rating!!! I didn't get it for a steal of a deall @ the $800.00 bucks like someone else did anyway, At first didn't make any buzzing noise with the regular cable box so opted to get the hd cable box & thats the first thing I notice buzzing just like other complained about, & instead of calling the store I called Samsung directly ran a test & still got buzzing,So samsung wanted to set me up with in house service, I then called the store that I puchased it & spoke to the man that sold it to me & he said if it wasn't making the buzzing with the regular box itwasn't the tv, he explained to the wires that the cable co. gives you were poor quality & couldv'e been creating the buzzing so he suggested in buying the HDMI cable a good one monster cable preferably, so I went & bought one 4ft runs about $100.00 & 8ft is about $119.00, Iwent with the 8 footer & it ran me $128.00& change, Any hooked up & "BINGO" that what it was, once I turned it on the pictures clarity & sound was "EXCEPTIONAL" If I can give anyone advice go the better cables especialy when dealing such a nice plasma, "BEING CHEAP CAN ONLY GIVE YOU CHEAP RESULTS"
Best TV for the Price.......2007-04-24
I picked this set up online for $800. I bought a Panamax power conditioner to prevent some of the things I heard about buzzing. Picked up the conditioner for 20 bucks online and had it read for the tv. Plugged the tv in and it worked perfectly!
HD looks great and I hear absolutely nothing at all. Connected this to my XBOX360, digital camera, and media pc. Have had a flawless performance with all 3 thus far!
Very happy with this set and would definitely recommend it to others.
Very Nice, HD perfect, Standard not great.......2007-04-05
I got a great deal on this TV, and do think it was worth it. I love the size, and the HD picture is fantastic. I did not have any trouble with buzzing, and I just have the TV plugged into a regular power strip. The standard channels are quite a bit grainy. But I have no real comparison for this. I assume most LCD and Plasma sets have this issue? Anyway, the set is spectacular looking, and versatile. Great features, and great HD picture. If that is what you are looking for, it is worth it.
This is a GREAT TV/monitor. Not buzzing at all........2007-04-04
I've had this TV for one week. The setup was a breeze. It was too heavy for me to hang alone, but my wife and I lifted it onto the mount with little trouble. The picture in HD is super. Standard def looks grainy, but it is not too distracting. The antiglare treatment works well. The sound is good, but too small for a TV this grand. I hooked it up to my receiver w/ bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer. Ahhh, much better now. I was nervous about the buzzing complaint, so I purchased a Monster Power Clean power strip (used for under $50) on Amazon. This little accessory is nice, and I can hear the difference in my soundsystem, which I also connected to it. I found a slight scratch in the glossy cabinet after two days in my living room. I don't think that it happened during setup. My guess is that it happened before it was placed into the box. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied considering that I paid $899 for this TV. It has lots of cool extras (cable card slot, USB port, media card slots, etc.) that make it a more versatile choice than any other in it's class.
