Today, we are taking aim at the Samsung PN42B450 42-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV. It is a 42 Inch plasma HDTV that literally pushes the limits of 720p resolution technology to where no other Plasma TV has gone before. Continue reading to find out if todays drive-by review gives this TV proper respect or sends it to the morgue.
For any 720p resolution television, Samsung PN42B450 is huge. Other manufacturers who produce TV of this size opts for 1080p technology doesnt make much of a difference; as mentioned earlier in our various reviews, if the size of the screen is 50 or more, then only such technology can make a difference. If you have come across any such TV that makes such difference please let us know.
It seems that Samsung knows this better than any other manufacturer; because they continue to make 720p technology look as good as, or better than, many 1080p resolution enabled HDTVs. In short, this thing is wicked awesome and fantastic in terms of visual clarity and picture image.
With the PN42B450, the colors are rich, accurate and well defined; and since it is plasma the blacks, whites and grays are simply perfect. Tonal balance is awesome, as is image warmth and depth. Plasma shines image tracing performance; and the result is no ghosting or fast action image blur at all.
The experience of watching stylish action flicks or playing game is immaculate in the TV. Like always, the performance of the QAM HDTV tuner technology is perfect in this TV too; it is also able to display main network HDTV broadcasts smoothly. PN42B450 establishes superb connectivity with the HDMI ports, which are optical audio output, audio in/out ports and PC video
Moreover, A/V input ports (mounted on sides) are also featured in the television. The remote control is like any other Samsung remote control that is easy to handle and durable. Similarly, the television create outstanding surround sound impact for music and cinema.
I don’t know when it will end. Samsung continues to surprise me with the level of features, performance, quality and value that they are able to produce in a television at such an attractive price. If you want HDTV that will keep you smiling, impress your friends and won’t send you to the poor house; then the Samsung PN42B450 is the TV for you.
