CNET Review
The Good: Four independent picture memories for each input; decent color decoding; PC input.
The Bad: Improper gamma and floating black levels negatively impact darker scenes; poor color resolution; only one HDMI input.
The Bottom Line: Although slickly styled and competitively priced, the Samsung HP-R4252 plasma falls well short of its competitors' picture quality.
