Samsung Plasma Technology

Digital Cable Ready ATSC Tuner
Built-in ATSC Tuner with CableCARD compatiblity lets you enjoy digital cable and HDTV without a set top box! Your Samsung TV's remote controls it all. Simply plug your cable-company-supplied CableCARD into your TV, connect your signal and you're ready to go.

12-bit Processing: 68.7 Billion Colors!
When it comes to reproducing natural images, Samsung plasma TVs are unrivaled. Thanks to the new 12-bit processing capability of DNIe, Samsung plasmas can produce over 68 billion colors and over 4,000 shades of gray—compared to most competitors’ 10-bit processing systems, that produce just one billion colors. From the faint sunlight of dawn to the extreme spotlights of a fashion show, Samsung Plasma TV provides vivid, life-like images that rival reality.

Samsung DNIe Image Enhancement
The HP-R4252 Plasma TV includes Samsung's revolutionary DNIe technology, which offers digital perfection in naturally presented, crystal-clear images that uncover even the most minute detail. Samsung DNIe enhances all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality.

Motion Optimizer
Fast-moving images are optimized to produce more natural-looking motion, thus reducing video noise or blurring.

Contrast Enhancer
Brightness and contrast levels are enhanced for deeper, richer blacks with greater detail and more natural whites.

Color Optimizer
Colors are reproduced with a more lifelike realism, whites are more accurate, and skin tones are given a more natural hue.

Detail Enhancer
DNIe analyzes video signal elements to produce sharper detail, clearer image separation, and more natural edge transition.

My Color Control
Patented "My Color Control" technology from Samsung LCD TV allows you to control specific colors without affecting the whole screen. Because everyone sees colors differently, Samsung provides six color control selections: white, red, pink, yellow, green and blue. It's your picture: you decide. This ensures true-to-life colors such as green grass, blue sky and realistic skin tones. White Tone Enhancement also ensures the purest, brightest whites possible.

10,000:1 Contrast Ratio - 1300 cd/m2 Brightness
Two of the most important factors in overall picture quality, contrast and brightness, achieve new heights in these latest generation plasma panels. Together with the DNIe proprietary circuitry, Samsung’s new plasma TV’s give the most stunning realistic picture quality ever from a flat panel set.

Convenience Features

60,000 Hour Panel Life
Samsung’s new 5th generation panels are made to last longer, so you can be confident that the high picture quality will endure.

New Premium Bezel-less Design
Samsung’s new "floating screen" plasma TV creates an image that looks as if it is suspended in thin air. The new, premium "bezel-less" design means there’s no frame around the TV for a big, beautiful picture without boundaries. Bottom-mounted speakers and a sleek silver and black color scheme are perfect for elegant, modern decors.

PIP with Side-By-Side Split Screen
Enables convenient simultaneous viewing of TV programs and video—even PC sources!

Samsung Anynet System Control
Control all your Samsung A/V components through a single TV remote with Samsung’s Anynet. Anynet is a network control solution for operating Samsung devices, allowing you to control key functions of the A/V devices connected to your TV via on screen menu. Many Samsung home theater components now feature Anynet.

Audio System Features

SRS TruSurround XT
High-quality surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into your Samsung Plasma TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3-D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass.

Dual Acoustic Chamber System
The interior hidden speaker system with DACS (Dual Acoustic Chamber System) simulates dual separate chambers for each speaker to maximize low-range-sound performance and enhance sound clarity. Everything is powered by the built-in 15Wx2 stereo amplifier

Terminals and Connections

Connection Options
HDMI digital A/V input allows for the transmission of both video and audio digital signals through a single connection for higher quality and fewer wires. Connect your DVD and DTV sources with two auto-sensing component video (Y/Pb/Pr) inputs that accept 480i/480p/720p/1080i signals. And using the 15-pin VGA input, your Samsung Plasma Television can also function as a PC monitor.
