Samsung HP-R4262

Form and function -- these words are apt representations of the 42-inch (106.7 cm) Samsung HP-R4262 high-definition plasma television.  Its electronic chassis design and state-of-the-art plasma technology are characteristic of the fifth-generation PDP models introduced by Samsung for everyone's viewing pleasure.

One of the outstanding features of this digital flat panel TV is the proprietary Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) system, which optimizes video inputs (NTSC and wideband) to deliver a crisp and clear picture, as well as provide better contrast and improve white levels.  Lower-quality video is remedied by the digital noise reduction feature, while colors are true-to-life because of this Samsung TV's 13-bit processing capability.  Progressive scan technology makes for smoother-flowing action on the screen and is a big part in the seamless viewing experience promised by this plasma display.

User-friendliness is ensured by the AnyNet system.  Through the use of a single remote control will allow you on-screen access and manipulation of audio-video devices that are connected to the TV.  SRS TruSurround XT technology is delivered by two stereo speakers: not only do they enable the playing of 5.1 multi-channel content over two speakers, but they also provide the surround-sound quality necessary for a cinema-like experience.
