Samsung knows how important picture contrast is Samsung has addressed one of the few drawbacks to plasma TVs: the tendency to reflect a room's ambient light sources. Their FilterBright anti-glare filter reduces reflections noticeably while maintaining ultra-high picture contrast. Afternoon ballgames look crisp and bright, while movies at night feature rich blacks and realistic shadow detail.
Plenty of ways to expand your entertainment options You'll find a total of 7 A/V inputs, with HD-compatible component video and HDMI inputs for your highest-quality sources. Hook up your PC or Mac to this set and the Picture-in-Picture feature can simultaneously display a sitcom and a spreadsheet. Some less-robust plasmas play it safe by leaving out a PC input, but the HP-T4254 includes effective anti-burn-in features.
