If you're looking for a great deal on a high-definition plasma TV, skip the no-name brands and check out the Samsung PN42A400. This may be Samsung's lowest-priced plasma set, but it includes many of the same technologies and features as their higher-end models. And you get all the performance that has made Samsung one of the premier HDTV manufacturers.
Samsung has boosted picture contrast dramatically, so you can enjoy deep black levels and fine shadow detail whether your room lights are on or off. Powerful image processing delivers eye-catching images with true-to-life colors and natural skin tones. And exclusive Samsung technology reduces "false contouring" for smooth transitions between shades of the same color.
The PN42A400's "jack pack" was designed with high-definition in mind. It includes two component video inputs, plus two HDMI inputs for hooking up HD satellite receivers, cable boxes, and other components that use this digital connection. Samsung includes a PC input to let you connect a laptop computer, and protects the screen with advanced anti-burn-in features so you can enjoy a big, bright image without worrying.
