Samsung PS-42C7HD Plasma TV
November 5, 2007
Samsung Electronics has dominated the world scenario in is technical competency in the manufacture of a variety of electronics goods. Its television sets are a splendid combination of style and technological excellence, which is why my friend decided to purchase one of its TV sets.
Distinct features
The Samsung PS-42C7HD Plasma TV has lived up to expectations. It is a 42” plasma TV, whose sound effects are astounding compared to many other models. It uses surround sound with special stereo effects by SAP/MTS. It is a chic black piece though I hear there is also a silver one on offer.
It is HDTV ready though it needs a separate receiver for accepting HDTV signals. It has a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. It has the 16:3 image ratio which is the standard for the new generation of home theatre sets. The images produced are extra sharp and clear with a brightness of 1300 cd/m2 and adjustable colour temperature.
It has 1 tuner that uses NTSC, PAL and SECAM standards of video broadcasting. Access to Freeview channels is provided. The broadcast format that is displayed is through 720p (HDTV), 480p (EDTV) and 480i (SDTV). 480p is a progressive scan method used by Enhanced Definition Television or EDTV. EDTV, one of the biggest steps taken in recent times to enhance image sharpness on large screens is closer in quality to the much awaited and hyped HDTV. This TV also supports 1080i (HDTV), 720p (HDTV), 480p (EDTV), 480i (SDTV), 576p and 576i which include requisites of HDTVs.
The powerful audio output is through 2 stereos of 10 watts each. The facility to view multiple channels is available.
As regards connectors, it has 1 HDMI, 2 21pin SCART, 1 DVI, 1 Composite, 1 Audio (RCA) among others, providing ample connectivity. It also has 1 S-Video, 1 Composite and 1 Audio (RCA) front input connectors and 1 DVI and optical digital rear output connectors.
There is a headphone jack and parental control incorporated in it. It is slightly heavy with a weight of 45.9 kg. It has a height of 71.3 cm, a depth of 10.3 cm and a width of 105.5 cm.
I must say the Samsung PS-42C7HD Plasma TV is worth buying because of its impressive audio performance and satisfying visuals.

October 29, 2007

Important features
The Pioneer PDP435FDE Plasma TV has a 43”wide flat screen. It being a digital TV, one can be assured of not getting hassled by white patches on the screen as is seen on analogue TV screens. It has the standard image ratio of 16:9 required for home cinema systems. It is HDTV ready and requires another receiver for receiving HDTV signals. It has an impressive brightness of 1100cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 1200:1. The screen resolution is 1024 x 768 pixels. The comb filter is a digital 3 line one. It also has adjustable colour temperature. The combined effect of these features produces image of average quality.
It has a viewing angle of 1600. It enables multiple channels viewing in inset windows with availability of sound only in the main channel.
The sound effects are tremendous with virtual surround sound and SAP/MTS stereo effects with two speakers of 2×13 watts.
It’s built in tuner uses NTSC/ PAL/ SECAM video broadcast standards. The broadcast format displayed is 720p (HDTV) / 480p (EDTV) / 480i (SDTV) and it supports the broadcast format 1080i (HDTV) / 720p (HDTV). 1080i appears to be of the same resolution of 1080p because of interlacing or progressive scanning, even though it has only half of it. But it has double the frame rate of 1080p. It also has more shake than 1080p.
It is provided with 1 HDMI, 1 RF, 1 component and 3 21pin SCART rear input connectors. Front input connectors are 1 Composite, 1 Audio (RCA), 1 S-Video and 1 D-Sub (RGB PC). 1 Audio (RCA), 1 Composite and 1 S-video rear output connectors are present. They provide easy connectivity.
