Samsung HP-S4253
Samsung HP-S4253 Review
- Fans of Samsung televisions won't be disappointed by the company's latest 42-inch plasma, the HP-S4253. It has a shiny piano-black finish, and it earned fairly good marks for image quality in our tests. Though prices on plasmas have been falling dramatically, this set's $1999 price (as of September 8, 2006) makes it higher than several competing units we tested at the same time.

Duration of ownership: 1 Year
Strengths:
Weaknesses: The picture quality is very poor especially in dark scenes and fireworks sences. Vey noisy and especially red noises in dark scene will make you suprise! Poor grayscale.
Overall Evaluation: This last year's Samsung TV was the worst I have ever seen. I expect this year's better.

Duration of ownership: 3 Months
Strengths: Nice HD picture. Very clear and vibrant color
Weaknesses: TV could use some more sound input ports for optical cables
Overall Evaluation: Tv was great for about the first 2 months. We then started to get a blue fuzz on the left hand side of the screen. This only shows up after the set has been on for about 1 hour. Tech came out and tried to fix it but did not stay long enough to see if the problem was fixed. Called Samsung back and they set me up with another Tech service guy. He has so far not come out to service the tv because he said " he has another set that is doing the same thing in his shop and so far he nor Samsung can figure out what is wrong". He also said that this is becoming a common occurance with some of the Samsung models. I would hope that Samsung would just buck up and admitt that there is a problem and replace the set. The longer this goes on the worse I feel about the company. Untill Samsung takes some corporate responsibility and the problems are corrected, I would not recomend buying this set.
