Samsung SPR4232 42-Inch Flat Panel EDTV Plasma TV
Nothing Special... Bad Speakers
This Samsung TV has nothing special compared to Sony or Panasonic. As someone else mentioned below, 10000:1 ratio is overstatement. There is no difference at all.  The brigtness is a bit dimmer compared to other brands. But worst of all, the speakers. The speakers sounded as if Samsung just put them on for decoration. 5.1 Home Theater speaker system is a must for this pathetic TV. You will be disappointed, and you will long for Panasonic.     I see that the TV has mixed reviews. But why does Amazon keep changing the price? It started around $1700 then $1800, now it's at $2000. It went down a bit before, but came back up again. What's going on? Amazon used to be a reliable internet store, but nowadays, it's just another store with bunch of crooks.
