  We purchsed HP-R4252 in Dec 2005 - we play it avg 20hrs / week over last 3 years. Completely satisfied. The picture is as good as any (but I’m not a comparison expert) and the TV works well. We kept our old ‘non-digital’ in spare room and I can hardly stand to look at it now. The TV Hooked up to computer very well / nice 1028×768 display. We’re getting ready to add blue-ray this Xmas (2008) and we’re pleased that TV has 1080i option - although manual says 720p is ‘optimal’. The biggest downside for us is that it consumes 600watts of power - $20/month or $240/year where we live - compared to projection 50″ my friend bought at 60watts (1 tenth = $2/month or $24/year).

  This Samsung model HPR4252 will work only 2 years. After 2 years it will start giving black shadow on sides which is not repairable and to replace plasma panel for this it will cost almost the new TV price.DON’T BUY!! DON’T BUY!!!

  My wife and I bought this TV in Jan, 2006 to upgrade our 27″ Standard Definition television. br /Pro’s:br /I like the viewing angle, ease of set up, picture quality using regular antenna and the digital tuner, and the sound. DVD’s can be adjusted to fit the screen and look great. br /br /Con’s:br /I did not think much at the time we bought it, but now that we are going Blu Ray, there is only one HDMI slot. br /br /There are newer, cheaper TV’s out there, but if you happen to be in the market for this TV, you won’t be disappointed. No problems, knock on wood, yet. We watch about 10 hours of TV a week and the occasional movie. I run the Burn In Protection once a month to make sure there is no burn in.

  I bought this a few years ago and it still looks fantastic. Works perfect. No problems, no worries, just a great unit!

  I got a great deal on this TV, and do think it was worth it. I love the size, and the HD picture is fantastic. I did not have any trouble with buzzing, and I just have the TV plugged into a regular power strip. The standard channels are quite a bit grainy. But I have no real comparison for this. I assume most LCD and Plasma sets have this issue? Anyway, the set is spectacular looking, and versatile. Great features, and great HD picture. If that is what you are looking for, it is worth it.

  I picked this set up online for $800. I bought a Panamax power conditioner to prevent some of the things I heard about buzzing. Picked up the conditioner for 20 bucks online and had it read for the tv. Plugged the tv in and it worked perfectly!br /br /HD looks great and I hear absolutely nothing at all. Connected this to my XBOX360, digital camera, and media pc. Have had a flawless performance with all 3 thus far!br /br /Very happy with this set and would definitely recommend it to others.

  I’ve had this TV for one week. The setup was a breeze. It was too heavy for me to hang alone, but my wife and I lifted it onto the mount with little trouble. The picture in HD is super. Standard def looks grainy, but it is not too distracting. The antiglare treatment works well. The sound is good, but too small for a TV this grand. I hooked it up to my receiver w/ bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer. Ahhh, much better now. I was nervous about the buzzing complaint, so I purchased a Monster Power Clean power strip (used for under $50) on Amazon. This little accessory is nice, and I can hear the difference in my soundsystem, which I also connected to it. I found a slight scratch in the glossy cabinet after two days in my living room. I don’t think that it happened during setup. My guess is that it happened before it was placed into the box. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied considering that I paid $899 for this TV. It has lots of cool extras (cable card slot, USB port, media card slots, etc.) that make it a more versatile choice than any other in it’s class.

  Well I brought this plasma about a month ago, I’d definately give it five star rating!!! I didn’t get it for a steal of a deall @ the $800.00 bucks like someone else did anyway, At first didn’t make any buzzing noise with the regular cable box so opted to get the hd cable box thats the first thing I notice buzzing just like other complained about, instead of calling the store I called Samsung directly ran a test still got buzzing,So samsung wanted to set me up with in house service, I then called the store that I puchased it spoke to the man that sold it to me he said if it wasn’t making the buzzing with the regular box itwasn’t the tv, he explained to the wires that the cable co. gives you were poor quality couldv’e been creating the buzzing so he suggested in buying the HDMI cable a good one monster cable preferably, so I went bought one 4ft runs about $100.00 8ft is about $119.00, Iwent with the 8 footer it ran me $128.00 change, Any hooked up “BINGO” that what it was, once I turned it on the pictures clarity sound was “EXCEPTIONAL” If I can give anyone advice go the better cables especialy when dealing such a nice plasma, “BEING CHEAP CAN ONLY GIVE YOU CHEAP RESULTS”

  They claim this product to be less than two inches from the wall. After mounting it, we discovered it’s nearly three inches and looks silly having our plasma sticking out so far. We will be getting a replacement.

  This mount would definatly be sold for 200$ at any big box store. It is sturdy and solid with plenty of bolts, washers, spacers, etc. Easy to instal, total confidence in placing big 50″ plasma. One of the main reasons that I chose this one was all the mounting holes on the base plate. This ensured that I could mount the tv in the middle of the wall even if the studs were not on center.
