Introduction 42 inch Samsung PN42B450 is generating huge interest among the plasma TV enthusiasts; major online retailers are making good business by selling this unit and hence I am here to shoot my review on this. Read this review to get the clear idea about the unit.
The Good I like very much the fact about Samsung that they make maximum utilization of 720p resolution and do not integrate 1080p just to make the TVs more costly. The 42inch screen size of Samsung PN42B450 makes it more relevant to use 720p resolution instead of 1080p resolution. I have seen several 42 inch plasma TVs but this one appeared to be more appealing to me in terms of its superb picture quality. Unless the size of the TV is more than 50 inches, there virtually no use of incorporating 1080p resolution over 720p, the difference is hardly noticeable.
The picture quality of this TV is simply superb; colors are vibrant, rich and true. Contrast and resolution response is exceptional indeed, and avid gamers and fast action movie fans wont have any problems with ghosting or motion blurring. As is the case with virtually all plasma televisions, the TV displays black, white and gray shades of color perfectly.
There are several ports that ensure proper connectivity with the peripheral devices. You can also view snaps and videos from your PC as the TV features PC and USB port. Brace yourself for excellent sound quality; even the remote control is of top-notch quality. The remote has the ability to recognize fast and get organized with almost any peripheral.
The bad It is hard to find negative aspect about the TV. But, it generates quite a lot of heat, again it a Plasma TV high heat is a common aspect. The weight of this TV is huge and hence it needs proper care; wall mounting is best suited option. Like any other plasma TV, electricity consumption is high.
The ugly Only thing I regret about this TV is the fact that I dont own one.
