    4 of 5 Excellent value for cost Wednesday, January 07, 2009
    Maurice from Detroit, MI  

    I purchased this for my famiily room as a Christmas present along with a new Blu Ray Player. The picture, the clarity and the color are all outstanding. My only lack of satisfaction is in the speakers which are 1) located in the back of the unit and 2) sound a bit "tinny" in their tone. However, most of my DVDs are played through my Home Theater and its sound system. Only my regular TV watching is less than outstanding in sound.

    5 of 5 Great value Saturday, December 27, 2008
    A Customer from Wilminton, NC  
    fast shipping. not the greatest of packaging. The TV was brand new, in the original box, and perfect. This is the second Samsung 42 inch plasma that I own. What a bargain, and what a good tv. From sound to picture, all is perfect. Even when hooked up to an analog signal, it looks crisp. On an HD channel, it looks so realistic, it's spooky.
