Highlights
Quality
- good sounding speakers (much better than the tinny s4095 speakers)- lots of inputs in the back and side.
Good picture quality & decent built-in audio.
First it started flashing rainbow colors then after a day or two no picture at all.
It even has a simulated surround effect it creates with its two speakers.
Price
Great value and i would buy it again.
The reception was quite impressive even with a couple of old rabbit ears, something i bought a couple of years ago for $20.
I searched a long time for a great bargain in a 42" plasma hdtv and found it through amazon.
We decided to order the samsung from amazon for ~ $1250 (savings of about $350 with the free wall-mount rebate).
Shipping
Fast delivery and was set up by delivery personel in a matter of minutes.
The tv arrived 1 week early and i am 100% satisfied so far.
I had never shipped a tv before.
The set arrived 10 days after i placed my order.

Drivers unpacked the plasma and put the box in the garage.
Competitiveness
I did a lot of research and comparing with other sets and confidently chose this samsung.

If you see this set in any store where the picture doesn't seem better than others in this price range, keep in mind that the s... Read More
Every single other plasma (and lcd) in this price range looked terrible compared to the samsung.
