SAMSUNG PS42A456P

+ My first forey into Plasma and I am very pleasantly supprised at the quality. The picture is first class and the sound well above average. Loads of little extras and great specifications made this the best value for money I could find anywhere.

- I have to share the remote control with the wife!

+ Fantastic 42" plasma for the money, well recommend it!

- The beautiful shiney black base attracts dust very quickly.

- The sound quality is not good, when you turn the volume up a little, to listen to music. Expected better sound quality from a TV like this.

+ a stylish looking tv which is easy to set up

- a short delay when switching on

+ design, weight, features and picture quality

- sound quality is not good

+ The picture is good. Having all the different ports and connections is excellent,

- The TV I puchased seems to have an electrical fault which causes a lot of electrical noise and causes my broadband to diconnect while the TV is switched on.

+ It looks very modern and i love the black glossy finish.

- It is very static when new and attracts dust (hard to keep clean!)

+ Great Picture, Looks great, lots of inputs (3 x HDMI slots, 2 x Scart, PC input etc), Very decent product for a decent price.

- Sound can get a bit distorted when on very high, other than that its fab

+ It looks nice and the picture and sound is very good.

- there are none so far

+ easy set-up, overall very good product

- none yet

+ Excellent value for money with stylish design. Quality picture and sound with different sound setting to match what your watching i.e. movie sound which gives a deep sound for watching movies.

- Large remote.

+ Looks modern and stylish. Easy to set up and get working. Picture quality is excellent with no pixelation. Easy to use sound out at the back of the TV to put through HiFi speakers. Sorts out bad point below. Good for Wii and Playstation too.

- Sound through TV speakers causes vibrations at relatively low setting. The black... Watching films where it is shot in the dark the TV struggles with the black colours. Watched 'I am Legend' and I really noticed it. Not sure if I can adjust settings to help with this.

+ Picture and sound quality better than we thought we would get .

- You have to leave the tv on standby mode .... not something i like to do .

+ Excellent picture & sound quality at a bargain price

- To be supercritical, the Length of power cable could be a bit longer but otherwise nothing.

+ Generally a great product and very happy with my purchase in this first month. Looks very good and performs well.

- Basic sound quality is poor enough - which I expected. As I always intended to add good speakers anyway this was not an issue for me.

+ Good Sleek design and looks modern

- 1) Only standby option...no proper on/off swtich off button..therefore NO POWER SAVING! 2) switiching between channels takes too long

+ Picture quality and build is very good.

- Stand is a little wobbly.

+ it looks great!!!

- none

+ Price

- There are issues sometimes with the sound but these could be resolved by having surround sound.

+ Stylish looks, ease of use. Looks and acts the business

- None

+ stylish with excellant picture quality

- no HDMI cable supplied

+ Good slick design, very good for watchin movies. Sound quality is good. No problems yet..

- Not very good for watching football, maybe i need a HD compatible Box?? But champions league away games are terrible, u can just about make the players who are on the pitch... maybe i need a HD box??

+ good out of the box picture and easy setup procedure.

- none

+ nice design...good menu well thought out and easy to use...nice remote control...plenty of connectivity..picture quality after running in is superb even in standard definition

- sound quality is well below average for a T.V. this size...glossy black casing gets very dusty very quickly but they do supply you with a cloth to clean it with !!!

+ Very bright colour and detailed, easy to follow instructions.

- It took to have 3 tv's delivered to get to one that worked and not damage. So we were without a tv for 2 weeks?

+ sleek looks. glossy black colour. stylish.

+ fantastic picture and reasonble sound

- it doesn;t display football at longer camera range well

+ Over all its a great tv for the money that we paid for it. One that i woud be very happy to recommened.

- only bad point i can find is the low sound. Sound was made better by use use of surround sound. Its now great.

- cant find any real bad points.

+ It looks good in my front room

- none

+ very good value

- None

+ good design,excellent picture,sound could be better

- sound quality poor,on screen menu poor

+ This tv is a great all- rounder!

- none so far........

+ style, user friendly. swivel base,

- poor speakers but appaently the norm for these type of tvs due to the dimensions of the unit, ie its thin so u get thinner speakers, oh and it is a dust magnet lol.

+ looks good, looks modern, good picture

- sound is clear but it all comes from the back of the TV which means you need to turn up the volume maybe more than needed

+ value for money and it's HUGE

- too heavy to wall mount on our paper thin Walls :(

+ Good selection of inputs, links up well with computer and console; great picture quality.

- Screen and back can get VERY hot. Not ideal for smaller room; lesser quality video not advisable.

+ It has a nice clear picture and the sound is good, overall it is a good tv.

- The only negative thing I can say about this product is the picture size. Each time I turn the tv off at the mains the picture changes (wide screen, auto wide, etc.)

+ slim cabinet, absolutely fantastic picture, sleek black finish, tons of inputs- 3 HDMI 2 SCART and component, etc.

- none really. the sound is better than most TV speakers; our living room is quite large and the sound is clear and balanced no matter where seated.

+ looks stylish,

- collects lots of dust,

+ Great all round quality.

- Have to turn the TV off by the plug

+ Great HD tv for the price. Sharp, clear picture. Don't waste your money on 1080p - it isn't worth it if you don't have an HD DVD player as no one broadcasts any higher than 1080i.

- None.

+ Excellent picture quality and looks to match.

- Sound quality is disappointing and with hindsight i would of bought this set with surround sound.

+ Beautiful looking big tv. Great picture in HD. Recommend using Surround sound to enhance sound quality

- none really

+ It looks good, it makes the images on the screen clearer and the colours are vivid. I enjoy wildlife programmes and this will enhance my entertainment immensely. All my neighbours have been in to have a look too! (Jones are now wanting to keep up with me!!)

- I can only afford one!

+ The looks ofcourse! the sound is not as good as i wanted but i plugged it with my Home Theatre and it worked fabulous. Picture at first looked really strange! considering switch to Samsung seemed strange but then i got use to play with the controls and settings and everything was fine.

- i think it should do better in terms of sound.

+ very good picture quality and superb sound a very stylist television

- none

+ Great colour, great fast moving picture,football games ect; great design, like the option of the swivel stand.

- The sound is okay but if you're a movie buff, you might wan't to invest in surround sound.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- factory setting could be better, you need to play around with them until you get it wright

+ Good styling, easy to set up, especially the dual remote for controlling the DVD. You even get a cleaning cloth for the screen!

+ integrated digital freeview

- freeview does not display current channel information when flicking. I need to go to guide before I know what I am watching

+ Glad we chose Samsung. Stylish finish, excellent value for money and easy to set up.

- None

- sound isnt the best at louder volumes

+ good design

- Reviewer left no comment

+ perfect clear picture

- none so far

+ Excellent picture quality & ease of set up.

- Very heavy !

+ Cheap Great Quality Overall Well Worth The Money But Dont Invest Without Surround Sound You Will Be Dissapointed

- Sound Has No Bass Realy Tinny and if you turn it up the speakers vibrate Needs Surround Sound then its great.Mega Dust Trap Due To Gloss Effect

+ Glass protective screen as opposed to non-plasma tv's

- Sound Quality could be better - I have to use my theater sound most of the time.

+ This is the 4th big flat screen tv we have had and its the best by far. The picture quality is excellent, the sound spot on it has loads of extra features and the overall look is as good as they come.

- As with all big screens its a bit of a dust attractor.

+ easy set up great picture all at bargain price

- none

+ Nice clear picture

+ Excellent picture with vibrant colours and deep blacks, I have a Samsung LCD TV (LE series) as well and to me the plasma is definately a better picture quality. nice unclutterd design, and simple to use menus. Another advantage over the LCD is the glass screen, which looks so much nicer than the plasticky LCD screen.

- The sound quality, although fine, is not as good as some previous TV's I have had. Could use a subwoofer, suppose if you have a home cinema system then it wouldn't matter ;)

+ good value for money for product supplied good clean looking design easy to install

- perhaps being super critical images could be a bit more sharper

+ easy to use, no difficult set up menu's everything straight forward. good vision and sound.

- None, all good, Very happy with it.

- No bad points, yet anyway!

+ All good points. Good sound, quality and picture. Nice looking tv

- None

+ good value for money,picture is also good.set up was as easy as falling off a log.

- sound quailty is not the best,when you want it to get a bit loud it cant really deliver

+ Looks fabulous and picture quality is amazing even without the HD leads.

- Attracts dust!!

+ just what we were looking for. great image, looks good

- hard to see buttons on side of tv if needed to use

+ Great picture and sound easy to install up and running in no time at all.

- None so far.

+ Everything about it is good and at the price I dont think it could be beaten for the screen size. Looks good and hopefully will prove to be reliable as well.

- Being fussy still don't think Plasma copes with Sport and movement particularly well better than LCD still, but a little blurry and lack of detail but it is tolerable. Will just need to get HD now!!

+ looks great, great price compared to high street, great picture

- sounds not great at high volume but you can always buy suround sound

+ good looks and build

- sound quality

+ Image quality.

- Sound is ok but not the best.

+ Wanted a modern tele; and this just fits all of the bill perfectly.

- Can not think of a bad point; but I am still trying to fine one.

+ nice looking tv great picture

- none

+ Nice looking TV that is very easy to set up

- Sound not great, but we always use surround sound anyway
