Samsung SPN4235 42-Inch Widescreen Plasma Flat-Panel HD-Ready TV
Bright and Bold
I purchased this Plasma for a friend and have had it in my home for 2 weeks. I too have looked at many plasmas in the stores and compared.  I have to say this one has a beautiful picture.  Compared to true HDTV plasmas in the store, this EDTV has a great picture.  It is hard to spend the extra money for subtle differences that are hard to see even side-by-side.  Most of our viewing is cable or DVD movies so I can't rationalize the extra money. Even with a cable input, the picture is great.  It is clear and has little &quot;noise&quot; or &quot;graininess&quot; considering it is a cable signal.  Friends come over and remark what a great picture.  <br />Internal amp for speakers is fine.  The Virtual Dolby does give good impact to the 2 speaker sound.  For DVD's I use my separate surround sound system.  One thing Samsung forgot on this model are audio output jacks to connect internal tuner sound to your surround sound system.  So many other inputs, I don't know why they forgot those outputs.<br />This is one of the few Plasmas that comes with a 2 year warrenty in home!  The appearance of the TV is perfect in our home and looks great on or off.  We are likeing it soo much, I will probably buy one for myself now that I have seen and used it my home.
