Great Value - Very Attractive

Note: My Samsung is actually the 42" version of this model.
Like many other reviewers of HD products, I spent many hours researching products and "test driving" them in stores. I found the Panasonic to have a slightly better picture than the Samsung but the Samsung is far more attractive and less expensive. The connections are plentiful and readily accessable. I agree with others that they could have added 1 more HDMI port. The Samsung picture in HD is spectacular and DVDs are excellent. The on screen menu is very easy to access and use. A user manual is included and easy to use with very good explanations of all features. As soon as I registered my product, Samsung replied and thanked me with a 3 month extension on the warranty.

If you are about to buy any HD product you should be aware of a few things. 1) resist the urge to save money with an online purchase. Pay the extra money for the ability to easily return yout TV. Most stores will give you 30 days to use your TV. 2) You absolutely have to use component or HDMI cables. Spend some time examing the benefits of each, but use one or the other. And 3) remember that your picture is only as good as the source. Do not expect a DVD of a 10 year old movie to be as good as a more recent movie. It's only been recently that DVDs are produced with attention given to HD/Large screen viewers. Also, not all networks broadcast in like quality. I noticed during football season that ABC and ESPN had far better quality than CBS for example. The same holds true for movie channels: HBO's movies are better than Encore's. That is not a function of the TV you are watching.

I would certainly reccommend the Samsung HP-R4272/HP-R5072 to anybody shopping for an HD plasma TV.
