Great!! August 24, 2008
D. Laurin (Broadway, NC)
Got TV 3 weeks ago and it plays great!! I choose an Amazon affiliate so I could't get the "White Glove" delivery. They called me first and delivered right on time. They only plug in the TV to insure it plays and no obvious damage but I am satisfied. I'm not a TV geek so for right now we are using the same hookup we had on our tube TV. Dish Network and co-axail cable to a 322 Dish box and co-axail to TV. I don't believe I have true HD but it's great reception any how. I've got the componet cables and will hook them up soon. The TV is absolutly great!! The whole Amazon experiance was great and would highly recommend.
Nice picture, lots of settings. August 23, 2008

Good product, and delivery service. Picture is good on HD channels and best when using the HDMI connection. Suggest you purchase a good quality HDMI connection cable. I am connected to a cable service and the box provides the HDMI as an option for connecting to the TV. There are many settings that can be utilized and I am at a loss as to which settings work best. I simply find a setting I like for a particular type of program. The documentation that comes with the TV doesn't give much help with settings other than to define what they are.
Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and the service from Amazon. Watching HD is great, now I hope more programing will be HD in the future. Looking forward to football season!
Surprisingly Sweet Deal+++ I AM HAPPY August 22, 2008

I actually, accidently bought this plasma Sumsung last week. I was drunk and thought I was buying a 42 inch LCD. It came and I realized it was a plasma when I was astonished by the amazing diffence. I found true that plasmas produce more descriptive and deep pictures and Samsung is the top of the line in my eyes (literally)... I've tested them all, at Circuit City, Fry's, Best Buy, Video Only and what have you not, and unless ya gettin stereoscopic then this Samsung is niceeee... My brother has an LCD and mine is better....ha ha ha... and since I bought it on here I spent dramatically less than him.....
 TV and price are great; a word of caution about free delivery August 4, 2008

Like a few others I have read here, I am new to HDTV. I did a bit of research and narrowed my choices to this model and the Panasonic TH-42PZ85U.
I was looking at the Panasonic because initially I thought I wanted 1080p resolution, but after reading a few articles I decide I did not need it. HD cable is 720p right now and apparently will not be 1080p for some time due to bandwidth issues (although someone more knowledgeable on this topic is free to correct me on this point). And this TV is several hundred dollars cheaper than the Panasonic 1080p model. I looked at the Panasonic 720p 42 inch but that model (TH-42PX80U) does not have a PC input, which I wanted.
Anyway I went to my local Best Buy and they happened to have the Samsung PN42A450 and the Panasonic TH-42PZ85U right next to each other, and they both had a great picture. I liked the colors better on the Samsung though--they appeared richer to me.
So I went with the PN42a450 from Amazon. Best Buy's list price beat Amazon's, but when you factor in free shipping and no sales tax, Amazon had the better deal by about $70. I've had the TV for about 6 weeks now, and I love it. Baseball games and movies look great on this TV.
A few words of caution about my experience with the free shipping: you do get what you pay for. In my area at least, the company that Amazon contracted to do the delivery did not seem to have a particular specialization in electronics or TVs. The guy who delivered my tv was courteous and helpful, but did not have a high degree of knowledge about plasma TVs. First of all, it was only this one fellow win an unmarked white panel van full of boxes. He was pulling the TV out and was going to bring it into my house by himself and he was kind of awkwardly carrying it (it really is a two man job to keep it level) so I helped him carry it in. Also this TV comes in a special box that lifts off of the TV so that you don't have to lift the TV out of if. The delivery guy didn't understand this (and neither did I initially). First he was going to lay the box on its side to slide the TV out which from what I understand is not the best thing to do with a plasma TV (laying it on its side can possibly damage the huge piece of glass that makes up the screen). I didn't know much about plasmas but knew enough to stop him from doing that. Finally we cut the box apart to get to the TV, after which point I found out that the box can lift apart by itself. So I ruined the box which I could have saved to safely transport the TV if I ever need to move. Not a huge deal, but it would have been nice to keep the box.
So in summary I am happy with this purchase. The only caution is that I would advise you to be home when the TV comes in order to make sure it is taken into your house and unpacked correctly.
