Drive-By Shooting Review brings on the review of Samsung PN42B450 42-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV. This Samsung device is a 42 Inch plasma HDTV that incorporates 720p resolution technology; this TV is certainly best among other Plasma TVs in this range. Read this review to find out whether this TV is earning our respect or refusal.
The Samsung PN42B450 is huge for a 720p resolution plasma TV. Many other manufacturers choose to use 1080p technology in a television of this size; however, as I have stated time after time; unless the screen size is pushing 50 inches or larger, then there is no real noticeable difference in display performance between the two. If you think there is, then your eyes are better than mine (and my very costly equipment that measures such things
We really like Samsung for this as they continue to manufacture new HDTVs with 720p resolution rather than the 1080p technology. The bottom line is Samsung PN42B450 is excellent in terms of picture image and visual clarity.
Enjoy richness of color with perfect accuracy; as this one is a plasma TV, the whites, grays and blacks are awesome. Image depth, warmth and tonal balance are just right. Image tracing performance is good and there is no image blurring or ghosting.
This plasma gives outstanding experience while watching a stylish action movie or playing games. Samsung is expert in implementing QAM HDTV tuner technology and this time too it succeeds big time; the chief HDTV broadcasts are also displayed clearly. The television enjoys excellent connectivity with three HDMI ports – audio in/out ports, PC video and optical audio output.
Apart from that, the TV features side-mounted A/V input ports. The remote control lives up to the expectation too. Apart from picture and other features, the surround sound impact of this Samsung genius is also top-notch.
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.
