Reviews by CNET:
Unlike Sony or Pioneer, who declare their allegiance to one side or the other in the LCD vs. plasma conflict, Samsung plays on both sides of the border. The 42-inch Samsung HP-S4253 plasma stands as a good counterpoint to big-screen LCDs, such as the Samsung LN-S4051D we recently reviewed, and sells for a few hundred dollars less. The HP-S4253 plasma boasts a glossy black exterior and hidden speakers, and its feature set is anchored by excellent connectivity. Its image quality doesn’t measure up to that of the best plasmas, however, and it costs a bit too much to compete against the most aggressively priced bargain models. Read the full review here

Fans of Samsung televisions won’t be disappointed by the company’s latest 42-inch plasma, the HP-S4253. It has a shiny piano-black finish, and it earned fairly good marks for image quality in our tests. Though prices on plasmas have been falling dramatically, this set’s $1999 price (as of September 8, 2006) makes it higher than several competing units we tested at the same time.
The HP-S4253 performed fairly well in our tests, with jurors awarding it particularly high scores on our DVD test. Colors and skin tones in scenes from our test movies, Seabiscuit and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King looked bright and accurate. The plasma also fared well with high-definition content, though some jurors found that the HP-S4253 did better in darker scenes than in brighter ones. Standard-definition pictures, on the other hand, looked pixelated, and skin tones acquired a greenish hue.
