Samsung HPT4264 42" Plasma HDTV

Samsung has been building quite a reputation for its popular and well-reviewed line-up of LCD HDTVs, but it's also been putting out plasmas that hold their own in comparison vs. the likes of Sharp, Sony, Toshiba and other leading manufacturers.

The 42" model HPT4264 from the 64 Series of plasma televisions is a fine example why Samsung should be in serious consideration on anyone's list. It features an impressive list of technologies to heighten your home viewing experience.

Keep reading for a quick review of the HPT4264's key features.


The HPT4264's resolution compatibility maxes out at 720p, but don't let that knock this set out of contention. To the average person's eye, the difference between 720p and 1080p on a set of this size is negligable. So why pay extra for added resolution you may not even notice?

The HPT4264 boasts a contrast ratio of 15,000:1 which helps ensure you'll see nuance and detail even in the darkest scenes of your favorite movies, television, and next-gen videogames.



When appreciating the crisp, vivid pictures of HDTVs like the HPT4264, it's sometimes easy to forget the sound. But the HPT4264 shines in the audio department as well, benefiting from Samsung's Dynamic SRS TruSurround XT system to help give you movie theatre quality sound in the comfort of your home.

Have several components to connect to the HPT4264? No problem, as the set gives you a number of connection options: 3 HDMI, 2 S-Video, 2 Component, 2 Composite, and 1 PC input.

You can read all the reviews you want, but your homework won't be complete until you find out what actual buyers of the HPT4264 think about it. Read user reviews here.
