Amazon.com Product Description
Offering a rich feature set and exceptional quality for its price, Samsung HPT4254 50-inch 720p plasma TV uses the company's latest DNIe enhancement circuitry to deliver outstanding brightness, contrast, and image clarity. Use it for home theater and use it for your PC--it's perfect for both. In addition to a standard-broadcast NTSC tuner, it also features an integrated ATSC tuner that can capture over-the-air digital broadcasts from local network affiliates (the set will still require a set-top tuner for receiving non-terrestrial HD broadcasts from channels like HBO or Discovery). Other noteworthy features include a 60,000 hour panel life, Samsung's unique auto pixel-shifting technology to prevent burn-in, a gaming mode, cinema progressive film mode, and 3 HDMI connections. This model is also compatible with an Auto wall-mount Samsung will release this year that is controllable in 3-dimensions via the HTDV's own remote control. While the HP-T5054 Samsung's entry level 50-inch 720p plasma for 2007, it differs from the step-up HP-T5064 only in the cosmetic design, and the lack of a USB2.0 connection. Both models offer the same high level of digital image processing, 15,000:1 contrast ratio, and HDMI connectivity. If you want a USB connction for playing photo files or MP3s, check out the HPT4264. The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. Thanks to the new 13-bit processing capability of DNIe, the HP-S4253 can produce over 549 billion colors (compared to the one billion colors that TVs with 10-bit processing can produce. Single-tuner Picture in Picture
This HDTV has a picture-in-picture feature, but it only has a single tuner which does not allow POP to function n the same mode. For example, you can't watch one TV channel in the main screen and another channel in the PIP screen. You can watch a tv channel in one screen and view contnet from your computer or a DVD in another. This tends to be the functional limitation of PIP in most HDTVs currently available. Connections: - HDMI connections: 3 (1 side 2 rear)
- S-Video Inputs: 3 (1 side 2 rear)
- Component Video A/V Input: 2 (rear)
- PC (RGB) input: 1 (rear)
- Composite video input: 1 (side)

Product Description
Whether you are in a dark room or in broad daylight, the picture remains amazingly crisp and vibrant, thanks to Samsung's FilterBright anti reflection technology. Even in moonlit scenes, the HP-T5054's 15,000:1 contrast ratio and 18-bit technology let you see every shadowy detail and natural, rich color. Samsung also introduces an innovative auto-pixel-shift technology that makes picture "burn-in" a thing of the past. Control all your CED-compliant digital devices through the one HP-T5054 remote.

Excellent for all these months December 13, 2008
We bought this set in April of this year and it has not had any problems. I have kept the settings low and only if it is a very dark picture do we see the green flashies. I can overlook this. We have a PS3 and the Blurays are excellent even though it is not 1080P. All in all it was a very good buy. Would buy a Samsung again.
 Horrible Image Retention November 18, 2008
I've had this tv for under a year. The image retention (IR) is progressively getting worse. At this point, if there is a static graphic on the screen for as short as 3-5minutes, I'll have IR for several minutes after. And yes, I have all the settings that are supposed to deter this problem. Note on page 3 of the manual at the bottom it states that burn-in and IR are NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY!!! Despite not being covered, when I called about the problem, I was referred to the local warranty repair shop and they attempted to fix the problem by replacing the pc boards (not sure exactly which ones). That didn't help at all. Then they took the tv to their shop. After which they informed me that the problem wasn't covered. If it isn't covered why did they even try to fix it to begin with???
I am extremely disappointed with this product.
 Excellent tv for the price!!! August 18, 2008
I've owned this tv for 6 months now,and I'm very satisfied with the picture
quality and options.The sound could be better but is fine when using Onkyo
reciever.Picture quality for video games and dvd playback is excellent.My HD Direct TV picture looks awesome on this unit.There is some glare from
lighting in the house or the sun, but its not as bothersome as some other tv's.I have had no problems with this tv.Everything works as it should.
I would highly recomend this tv to anyone looking for the best picture,biggest size,and best price.After all,thats why I bought it!
 simply sucks July 8, 2008

it`s not even 2 years since I bought this tv and it already started crapping out on me, I have been seeing blue patches, pixels moving back and forth on the side of the screen (not a burn in. the patches are moving) definitely killing all the fun and enjoyment. now samsung would charge me $100 bucks just to come and take a look at it, and the technician over the phone said he thinks it could be a defective Plasma screen and would probably be have to replaced with a new one which would cost me a hefty $$$ of course the piece of crap tv is out of warranty and although it`s a defected screen Samsung will do absolutely nothing about the situation unless I pay for it. I have seen a lot of complains over the internet about the same issue on Samsung Plasma`s so I would recommend you to buy LCD, if you set your mind on Plasma then definitely go with some other brand since this Samsung is a huge piece of crap.
Read this review if you play video games June 17, 2008

I bought this TV in January and loved it. Eventually I noticed a flickering problem where the screen brightness would flicker up and down. Read about it on the AVS forums and got it fixed through Samsung support. Then I noticed the image retention. If you play any xbox 360 games or watch tv in 4:3 with sidebars it will show up. You can run the screen burn in program that will eventually wipe it off but it always comes back next time you play. Ever play GTA4? See that radar in the bottom left? That is always going to be on your TV after you are done playing. The longer you go without wiping it with the cleaner the longer it will stay on there. If you play video games do yourself a favor and don't buy this set. I sold mine and am saving for another set preferably LCD. I just wanted to warn people trying to decide which set to buy. Avoid this set.
