5.0 out of 5 stars PS42A457P1DXXU - GREAT TV, 16 Oct 2008
I have just purchased the samsung PS42A457P1DXXU and what a great tv. This is the first plasma ive bought and I had a normal tv before. The picture is great,tinkered about with the settings and in the end settled on the original settings but changed it to the movie mode and WOW..... a clear picture for watching anything from emmerdale to england footy. It was the price that swayed me to buy this but i'm not at all dissapointed. Lovely looking tv, adjustable screen angle and massive screen. Would reccomend to anybody wishing to spend 500 quid on a tv.

5.0 out of 5 stars Samsung PS42A457P1DXXU 42"plasma TV, 16 Feb 2009
By Leia AEM (Timperley, Altrincham, Cheshire, UK) - See all my reviews
Brilliant Plasma TV! Lots of different settings for Picture and sound. Good blacks, very bright and vibrant nice colours. I've seen a few LCDs and I'm glad we got this plasma! The viewing angle is superb and you can still see it from any angle, even at the side or below lying down on the sofa. Ours is wall mounted (bought a bracket for around £30) and its quite a heavy TV, so it needed two of us to lift it on. We all think it looks much better on the wall and you soon get used to the size and position. The SRS truesound seems good to me, but I think if you want cinema like sound, you should buy a separate surround sound system, or connect extra speakers in the sockets provided. We've got our Xbox 360,(HD AV plugin leads), Virgin Cablebox,(AV), Wii, old video (both SCART) and Laptop (VDU D pin and S Video connector)connected. We're going to buy a HDMI DVD player or Bluray to use up 1 of the 3 available HDMI slots. The Samsung PS42A457P1DXXU for us, is very good all rounder and we're very pleased with our new shiny black TV! Great price, great TV.

5.0 out of 5 stars Samsung TV, 10 Feb 2009
This TV is great, brilliant picture, easy to use and looks really, really expensive althouth it was a great price. It was Xmas pressie for my Hubby and it was very much liked. I would definately recommend plasma over LCD which was the one debate I had, I did panic about the ghosting but have had no problems yet, touch wood and have played wii on it.

A great product. Sound from the TV itself is not the best, but when used with a Home Cinema System, it is fine. Picture quality is excellent.
