Question: Atsc Tuner Wow, this hp-s4253 has a built in atsc tuner? Can it do QAM for digital Cable?
Document: Good picture quality & decent built-in audio. I hooked it up to my regular analog cable as I watch more DVD. And I am satisfy with the resolution I get from $19 cable TV. And of course the quality of movie I see.Amazon delivery took about 1.5 week and it was free.
That's the moment when the service tech pulled out a brochure on  Samsung's extended warranty program - what kind of BS is that?I purchased in July of 2006 was very happy with HD image, not too good with standard digital cable though- My 36" flat tube looks a lot better with standard cable. Let's hope the replacement keeps quite. Good luck!Bottom line quality is number one in my book so I can only give it 1 stars and that's only because it had a good picture on HD programming
Over time I'm sure Samsung will make "3" versions of their other sets, so if you need one with a CableCard tuner or something, I'd wait a while. Also I wish this set had more stretch options for dealing with 4:3 inputs. The only options for HD signals are 16:9 or 4:3 with bars, neither of which helps deal with HD signals that are letterboxed AND 4:3 (common for cable boxes that up-convert letterbox SDTV material).
The TV was delivered, un-boxed and checked out by the delivery person.Works great and as I bonus, I found it is great for watching digital pictures from the USB port and listening to music from a USB memory stick.JohnColorado
Use the built in screen burn protection features as they get rid of every burn in issue i have had with the tv so far. I recommend this tv to anyone looking into HDTV as this is my second HDTV. Never going to back to standard tv.
At the time of purchase 1080I sets are about $1200 cheaper than the new 1080P. At the time of this review I have had this unit for 1.5 months and have had no problems yet. This is my first plasma and first digital television. I am very impressed with the picture. The color is amazing. I have noticed some pixilization during live action but for the most part not bad.
HDMI cables are the best and easiest way to hookup any HDTV. They simply plug in and carry both the audio and video signals. Because a digital signal is either on or off, I believe you don't have to have the most expensive HDMI cables for great results. So I have a HDMI hookup from the set top box to HDMI #1 on the TV and a HDMI hookup from the DVD player to HDMI #2 on the TV.
Just got this little puppy and let me tell you, the picture is totally outstanding. And, it's like the tv was built for gaming... I plugged in my XBOX 360 and it was a different experience gaming.Some people are claiming to have problems with the tv's audio, but in this day and age, if you're going ahead and buying a 42" plasma tv for your home theater, you should also be investing in a great surround sound system.
Also they have some built in tools that in the case that you do get "image retention" you can run these utilities and they can correct them.SD broadcast is nice- much better than some tv's I have seen. I recommend being at least 7 feet away from this tv for optimal quality. Honestly, even from 2 feet I didnt see an pixelation.Gaming- There is a game mode that you can turn on for the input you use for games.
By far, the best electronic purchase I made this year. I am thrilled with the Samsung. After months of research, mostly due to display technology, I went with this manufacturer. As for the comparison to HDTV delivered from tube sets', there is no challenge. Often, when I what's new become the norm, I flip between the analog and digital HD version of the same broadcasted event, say a nature program. The difference is outstanding.
Answer: It does not appear to support any type of digital cable.  Samsung has made some models in the past with CableCard slots for digital cable, but this one doesn't have that feature, as far as I can find.
