Summary: DON'T BUY!! DON'T BUY!!
Comment: This Samsung model HPR4252 will work only 2 years. After 2 years it will start giving black shadow on sides which is not repairable and to replace plasma panel for this it will cost almost the new TV price.DON'T BUY!! DON'T BUY!!!

Customer Rating:
Summary: It'll work fine for TWO YEARS
Comment: I'm writing this after a little over two years' normal, moderate use, with plenty of ventilation and no jostling around. The set has been developing the problem - and it's getting worse - of the bottom half of the screen going black. Google "samsung plasma 4252" and you'll find that people have been complaining about this since this model was introduced in 2001, and it's common to other Samsung models! After two years! I would judge from this that Samsung is pretty unreliable. The merits of picture quality are not an issue. Don't do Samsung.

Summary: wouldnt buy it again!
Comment: well, many of the customers seem to rate it pretty good. some aspects are - HD channels show awesome. tv when not turned on looks pretty attractive... I had first problem around 8 months later.. I wasnt too satisfied with the samsung customer service as it took more than 1.5 months to get the problem fixed (it wasnt turning on!).
now after my factory warranty is expired, it has a problem again... the side of the screen is blank. we can watch the tv in 4:3 mode but not in the wide screen.. pretty weird.. right?? shoot! i still regret my decision of not sticking to sony. but i remember there was around $800 difference for the same size tv.. but after this experience, i will pay that extra.

Summary: warning! very dissapointed in this product
Comment: Please be cautious buying this model or at the very least get an extended warranty. My Samsung plasma HP R4252 has essentially died after only TWO year--colored horizontal lines suddenly appeared across the front of the entire screen, ruining the picture. The Samsung service center has quoted repairs at between $600-$1,500 to replace the failed board. Samsung has so far been unwilling to extend my warrant or help with repairs. I will never buy another Samsung. A product should survive more than two years without such significant failure.
