December 24th, 2007About The Samsung PS-42Q91H Plasma TV.
 
Love it or hatred it, but plasmas are absolutely not phasing out anytime soon. As a minimum until they commercially let go another technology that can give you plasma like black levels. Besides, what 42″ LCD TV is available at a sub-one lake price? Reasons like these and difficult products like the Samsung PS-42Q91H Plasma TV make me badly believe receiving one of these babies for myself.
Samsung’s preferred piano finish is what makes up the front frame of the TV, as in all other flat panel models of theirs. Unlike the Bordeaux series, this one has a pretty simple and flat frame with no the stylishly curved edges. Not that it looks bad in anyway, but it do look attractive plain. Fortunately inside level panel TV it’s the screen excellence that counts more than the covering about it. The stand be the regular bodily tilt-n’-swivel variety.
As one can wait for, a majority of the connectivity options are at the back of the TV, namely 2 HDMI inputs, two components, one compound one VGA and a RF input for transmitter. There are also two options for outputting audio, using RCA jacks and Line out.
There are a few more connectivity options on the left of the panel for the times when you rapidly need in the direction of plug in a device. There’s a third HDMI input along with s-video, compound and a headphone jack.
All the essential controls of the TV are located on the right hand side, but obviously, you’d be improved off by a remote.
Now I find a couple of things odd about the connectivity options here. I’d personally prefer an S-Video connectivity at the back instead of the side of a panel. Considering that it is (somewhat) superior to the composite input, I’d ideally use it over the latter any day. Secondly most flat panel TVs these days has memory card inputs too.
The PS-42Q91H has a pretty good viewing angle, but also has the problems that can be observe on most plasma like the image reflection on the glass screen when viewed from an great angle or loud image when you see a videocassette up close. I really can’t blame the TV for that though, as it’s more of a disadvantage in the skill
That said, the image quality is nothing short of mind-blowing. Being used to LCD TVs can make single forget the kind of high intensity levels and extreme difference ratios that you can obtain from plasma. A TV like the Samsung PS-42Q91H was just the right reality check we wanted.
Though TV runs at a native of 720p (supports 1080i), which is enough for all practical purposes. Of course 1080p resolution on a 42-inch panel would have been just dandy, but I guess it would have jacked up the price as well. Anyhow, 720p is pretty good on a 42-inch sheet and bearing in mind its a plasma display, the dreaded jaggies that you find in some high-definition games be greatly abridged.
Color output on the Samsung was absolutely brilliant, especially when watching an animated movie, where the colors tend to be a lot louder than a full motion video. The put on show might handle just about the craziest colors we could throw at it, while keeping sober colors as real as likely.
As I said before, that jaggies give the impression greatly reduced on the Samsung plasma, but it wasn’t at the cost of missing out on the sharp and minute details. At no given point did I see a loss of video quality caused by blurring in high motion or any kind of artificial smoothening. Some high account videos have quite a bit of movie grain on it, but that was a trouble with the mastering of the videotape more than the display panel. bearing in mind that it’s a 42 tiptoe display, you need to have a viewing distance of a least 7 feet, to enjoy the strip in all its glory.
I was attractive impressed with the sound on the Samsung plasma. This was one of the rare time where I didn’t feel the necessity to connect the TV to an external sound system, because the sound output of the TV itself was more than satisfactory. Of course it lacks the deep bass so as in the direction of you would get from a CRT, but the speakers would still hold their possess in movies and games similar.
Lastly, at its price of Rs. 95,000 it’s an excellent option for anyone looking for a large display at a price that’s worth it. 1080p resolution would have certainly rocked the show, but I deduction I can’t complain at this price. Highly optional to movie buffs and gamers!
