Although this is not the best quality HDTV, when comparing the price and the performance with other HDTVs it proves to be a very good choice for the average buyer. Other products in its category have a higher price and setting them up might be difficult. With its excellent quality and easy to set up structure, this product managed to be one of the favorites.

Although this product has some problems with color rendering, any other features work very fine and the picture quality is not bad. But for only $1400 this great product is one of the most affordable HDTVs on the market. You won?t have problems setting up this TV because everything can be found in the back.

Everything points outward making things easier to install; other HDTVs create problems when installing them because most of their inputs are facing down and that creates a difficult access. Other extra options you get are: headphone jack and USB port for pictures and music from external devices, another S-Video port, and one extra HDMI connector.

These are a lot of options for a TV this cheap, that?s why it?s one of our favorites. You even get some access inputs on the side of the TV, so things won?t get complicated when you want to plug in something else. Easy set up system is a good advantage when it comes to HDTVs because most people don?t have technical knowledge and may spend a few hours figuring out where most of the connectors are.

The menu set up is also easy and smooth. If you can?t read things from the menu, you have an opacity option to make text more visible. When searching for sources, the Samsung HP will automatically skip the ones you don?t have; but you can rename your own with the select option.

You have a picture-in-picture option; however it doesn?t allow you to watch two things at the same time because the HDTV has one tuner. Unfortunately many of the HDTVs today don?t have options which allow watching two programs at once.

The designers may leave out the extra tuner because they assume that most people will be using a DVR or similar recorder, making an additional tuner unnecessary. However, this assumption will give a lack of options to those without these recording boxes.

Most HDTVs out there on the market have a native 720p resolution for their plasma screens; three of them can handle a 1080p signal- they convert the signal downwards and display it at its best quality they can handle.

However, the Samsung-HPT4264, cannot manage the signal but this isn?t such a problem because you can set any Blu-ray or HD DVD player instead. If you choose to set the Blu-ray or HD DVD you should choose the lower resolution for the best quality. Because of this, this product obtained a lower score overall.

The remote control is a little uncomfortable but it can be programmed and the light up function for buttons. If you have problems with your grip or pain in your wrists, you may need to buy a universal remote so that you can put aside the official remote.

Overall, the Samsung HPT4264 is unique in that its price is cheaper than most but it still manages to give you plenty of options and great quality usually seen in TV?s that cost a lot more than this one. The biggest issue with the Samsung HDTV is the picture and viewing quality. While its not the worst, there are many other big screen TV?s that offer a clearer screen and better views.

With a good score in image category this product managed to situate itself in the first categories. Considering its price, it is a good option if you want something cheap with a good image quality for your home. Although more expensive products would have better performances, this one has an amazing price for its quality and will make any buyer satisfied.

A closer, more personal inspection of the Samsung FP-T5084 Plasma TV reveals that it’s a product that boasts of good performance and notable features at a very reasonable price.

With rich colors and crisp display of details, this plasma TV could be considered a very good bargain at $2400. Housed in a sleek cabinet, the 50-inch TV set has made its way to the Best Buy section of its category.

Skin tones and other natural colors appear very much realistic especially in high-definition images or scenes in programs like The George Lopez Show. Vivid tones and details are excellently displayed in animated films like the Corpse Bride. Baseball games in standard-definition mode make the oranges and greens appear more saturated giving way to a above-average score for the FP-T5084. The test also reveals that this TV is able to display fine details in dark areas. Images too, show very little hint of pixels, which is very good.

The on-screen display (OSD) shows the controls for the color temperature for easy management of display settings.. This showcases a White Balance section that includes adjustable settings like RGB gain and offset controls. There is also a menu to set pink, green, blue and white separately via the My Color Control mode.

Samsung’s Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe), which comes with the FP-T5084 make images sharper and more vivid with add-ons like noise reduction, color enhancement and motion processing features. When set to function, DNIe really made the picture look sharper and brighter, although it became a bit more unnatural. When enabled, the DNIe is good in a way but the TV’s Standard and Movie mode presets still make viewing with the FP-T5084 more natural and thus more preferable.

When it comes to the back connectors, the Samsung FP-T5084 implemented them in a sleek and convenient design. They added two composites, S video hookups and video input connections. There are also three HDMI hookups which are perfect for gamers as it means less time of having to remove cords to attach game cords for select consoles.

The remote control is easy to use and designed to look like the remotes of other electronics such as a DVD player, so you may already be familiar with the layout. While the remote is easy to hold and comfortable, some of the buttons are cluttered to closely together and this can cause you to press the wrong control on many occasions. Other buttons are smaller than some consumers can bare and they may be too hard to see.

The Samsung FP-T5084 has a great menu system and placed near the bottom, it is easy to access. However, its small size may confuse some users until they adjust to its placement. Using a variety of color options such as cool and warm, you can easily set the colors to the adjustments that are best for your eyes and home.

The Samsung plasma screen also has a long list of great features that will allow you to get the picture just right. The gamma system uses a 7 code selection, while the black colors have just 3. You can also adjust the colors using the color control but amateurs may want to avoid using this option.

Although not fully featured and not state-of-the-art, the Samsung FP-T5084 is the HDTV set that has proven its quality in performance and has furthermore gained points with its inexpensive price tag.

Pioneer’s PDP-4280HD looks like a very nice product when it comes to high quality HDTVs. It came out fourth during the tests on image quality. Although this is just a 720p model, it proved to be one of the best in its category by showing a great image with amazing details. Unfortunately, the price for this product is about $2700 dollars so it might turn out to be too pricey for a HDTV that hasn?t got 1080p resolution.

The features that come with this product are amazing: it has USB port that you can use to see photos or listen to your favorite Mp3 music, four HDMI ports, Cable Card slot which help your TV receive broadcasts that are scrambled without using a set-top box. Also, you can use your headphone if you like because it comes with a headphone jack, especially if you don?t want to scare your neighbors at night with your horror movies.

The picture-in-picture video option might prove to be a bit hard to use if you don?t read the manual first. Unfortunately, the PDP-4280HD doesn?t allow watching two programs at once but you can watch, for example, a movie on a DVD and a TV show.

Another wonderful aspect when talking about this device is the fact that it supports HDMI CEC; this option lets you control each of the components that are connected through the HDMI. Actually CEC means Costumer Electronics Control and can be easily accessed with your remote. Also, this amazing HDTV also has an option for TV Guide, so you can be sure that you don?t miss your next favorite show.

The TV guide has an on-screen option that will help you find whatever you wish to see. This guide has many options that you can use to plan and record your favorite television shows and movies. Other useful options include the Power Save which is very important if you care about your carbon footprint; this option will turn off your TV after 15 minutes without signal have passed.

When it comes to sound, Pioneer has it all: connections for an amplifier and external speakers. So if you really want to scare those neighbors, you can upgrade your audio system and make some noise without using an external receiver. Although you won?t obtain great sound quality because the terminals are only for speakers and a subwoofer, the noise you make can be pretty satisfactory.

The whole design complicates the setup because the coaxial and HDMI are facing down making things really hard to install. Also, you will find them at the back of the model, so you might need more time with the physical setup. When setting up things in the menu, you might find that they are a bit too complicated and it tends to keep your progress slow.

The text is tiny and the instructions will definitely make you ask for a second opinion because they are very confusing. It also comes with a manual, but it will rather make you tired than teach you anything because they made it too complicated. If you wish, you might like to get a copy of the online manual. At least there you can use the search option in the PDF. Keep in mind that you need to register on the site if you want to take a peak in that online manual.
Now on to the remotes: the Pioneer remote is one of the most comfortable you can get your hands on. It can be programmed and has large buttons that glow in the dark. With its great design, older buyers and those with problem eye sights can easily use this remote with a minimum of trouble.

The Pioneer PDP is a good option for people who can afford a $2700 HDTV with only 720p. Although, at first, it may seem a bit average, this HDTV is top quality, at least when it comes to the image.

The Pioneer Kuro Plasma HDTV is quite expensive but it has amazing details and colors; this product also comes with incorporated speakers and various types of connectors.

Although this HDTV has a big price (around $4500), it managed to amaze people when it showed awesome blacks and outstanding images during the tests. With its new improved colors, numerous facilities, and great sound quality it will give you a whole different feeling when it comes to entertaining. Watching TV seemed like a common hobby, but with this new HDTV you will feel like you take part in everything.

Famous movies, like Lord of the Rings or Mission Impossible, seem to be real when watched at their best quality on the Kuro PDP-5010. I must mention that the night scenes look amazing, especially when watching Lord of the Rings; Pioneer Kuro PDP-5010 almost brings the Lord of Rings fantasy world in your own home.

This Pioneer Kuro HDTV also transmits the most authentic skin color we ever saw, making everything more real than we expected it to be. Of course, brightness and contrast are top quality contributing to its amazing feeling of reality.

The company Crystal Emissive Layer struggled to produce the most accurate and deep black ever made. They succeeded. With their new digital processing and color filtering they managed to improve the whole quality when it comes to HDTVs. Talking about black color, I should also mention that ?kuro? actually means ?black? in Japanese, so no wonder their black is exceptional.

As I mentioned earlier, this amazing TV comes with speakers. The speakers, which offer the best audio quality, can be detached. The audio system is composed of speakers with woofer and tweeter components. So, when you are watching a musical, you will feel like being in the middle of the whole story. You will forget all about TVs with poor audio quality.

The Pioneer Kuro HDTV has a simple design, which inspires elegance and originality. You cannot fail with this design, as it suits any home d?cor and tastes. You can easily place it in a den or family room or display it in your bedroom with ease and it won?t stand out.

Another important aspect is the light sensor; this light sensor will actually sharpen your brightness according to the light you have in your room, due to the new technology called Optimum Video Mode. With this option, you can avoid the problems of having to adjust the colors on your screen whenever the lighting situation changes around you, such as the sunrise and sunset.

The remote has a great silver color and combines on- screen display menu and submenu access. It also has shortcuts to the main functions and you don?t have to find a source of light to see your buttons, because they glow in the dark.

This product has other types of connectors like the HDMI inputs, three composite ports, USB ports (if you want to see images on this wonderful HDTV, simply attach your card reader), and two component ports. After you attach any card reader, you need to select the Home Gallery option and you can see an amazing slideshow of your desired pictures. Your pictures were never that beautiful, and their quality is the best.

If you want to hide the cable source, you just have to use the Cable Card slot an you won?t even notice it was there. This whole set of connectors and facilities will amaze you; however, a disadvantage is the fact that it doesn?t come with cable management aid.

The Kuro PDP-5010FD is a wonderful product if you want to bring your favorite movies to life. Although the price is rather high, the revolutionary technology offers a unique feeling, extraordinary colors, and wonderful sounds. People who can afford paying $4500 on this amazing HDTV will be very satisfied and won?t regret their investment. They will change their whole opinion about home entertainment.

Although this HDTV isn?t very affordable and hasn?t got any cool or new features, the visual quality is very good. Other may seem more reasonable for this price, but if you really want to amaze your friends with all the visual details and great sceneries, you have to buy this product.

When speaking about visuals, this is the best there is. It has amazing high definition view, with great details and superb picture quality. You will be impressed by the way people?s skin and hair looks. This 42 inch plasma got a bigger score than any of the other products in its category. It is the highest resolution plasma you can find on the market right now.

The standard definition broadcast test didn?t give this product an excellent score. The colors aren?t as bright and shiny as people expect them to be. For example, the Vizio VP42 managed to get a bigger score in this category as its colors were more lively and real. However the Panasonic TH-42PZ700U does a pretty good job with the standard def DVD.

The black colors are amazing and deep; they bring out the excellent quality of this product. Most of us pay more attention to the color, graphics and options that a TV comes with but the black and white of the images should also take closer notice.

The most important thing to get a good visual quality is to know how to set the TV at its best performance. Unfortunately, the menu isn?t very helpful, everything is very hard to handle. It takes a big amount of time to set the language. In the menu where it shows English language, when you click?ok? you might notice that nothing happens.

Usually, these menus are intuitive but this one isn?t at all. It actually has a little button; you will probably notice it after a long time of searching. Using that button will approve your selection, otherwise it will change it and you won?t even know why. Like the manual options this is more annoying that anything else, as it should save automatically or give you an easier way to make your changes permanent.

When you reach the menu where you can label input devices, fortunately you can skip some of them and move on. However, if this was done automatically things would have been better and faster. It?s not a major problem, but most of these options are automatic now, so it?s very strange that Panasonic only added the manual options.

The good thing about this product is that you can set everything up very easily. Physically speaking, this product isn?t like the ones that take 3 hours to install after moving away all your furniture. It has a single coaxial connector; you will find it facing down. Also, other features include extra component video and S-Video inputs. A great aspect is the great card reader which can be used to see the photos right out of the camera.

Speakers are on the side, and you can almost miss them because they are hidden in the HDTV?s design. The placements of the speakers are sleeker than you would normally see as they were built in and designed to blend perfectly with the frame. Speaking of design, this TV has a great elegant design, like any well respected brand, Panasonic chooses the classic glossy black for the TH-42PZ700U.

The remote control is big and heavy, it almost suggests this product?s high quality. However, it has a particular design as one half is full of buttons. But you shouldn?t worry about control, everything will run smooth because it is designed for you comfort.

Overall this product is amazing; it brings out the smallest details and has a highly improved visual quality when compared to other HDTVs. It doesn?t have many features, but why would you need them if it shows perfect pictures at the best quality you can buy. Although it?s a little bit pricey, you should buy it if you are looking for video quality.
