I am a college student on a limited budget. After saving up for a new TV for my new apartment, I was AMAZED to see this television priced at around $500. Though I was a bit skeptical because it is only 720p, I rationalized that spending an extra $300 or so was not worth it.
The TV has been set up for about 4 days now. I must say that the picture is incredible (this is after seeing it in Best Buy and not being impressed by the picture at all). All of the HD channels on Comcast look amazing, and it is as sharp and as clear as similar 1080p plasmas I have checked out. This was the biggest surprise to me, because I expected the picture to be good, but not THIS good.
There is one issue, and that is a slight buzzing sound that is emitted from the TV. There is one. It is nearly drowned out from the audio of the TV, my fridge, and the city noise, but it is still there and noticeable when the TV is on mute. This is a bit annoying, but the real only issue with this product.
Setting up this TV was so simple. Some people have commented that screwing in the stand is extremely difficult, however I had no such issue. They are a bit tough, but once you get them going it isn't anything impossible. HDMI cords that I bought on amazon for $1 hooked up flawlessly, and I have an HDMI to DVI cord for my MacBook Pro and it looks great (audio hooked up with a 3.5mm male to male cord into the dvi audio out on the TV and the headphone jack on my laptop that you can buy on amazon or monoprice for $3).
All in all, this TV is a heck of a deal. The picture is breathtaking, the craftsmanship is stellar, and the unit looks very elegant. 5 stars, easy. Can't wait to watch the world cup on this guy!Get more detail about Samsung PN42C450 42-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV (Black).
