The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. Because everyone sees colors differently, Samsung's DNIe My Color Control allows you to adjust the individual colors of your set without distorting other colors. The range of color adjustment includes Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Red and White. 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.
The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time, to reduce dramatically edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. The HP-R4252 also offers a 1024 x 768-pixel resolution, 1300 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and amazing 10,000:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) Picture-in-picture (PiP) with side-by-side split screen enables convenient simultaneous viewing of TV programs and video or PC sources. Other adjustable video features include color tone, picture mode, aspect ratio, and sound mode.
Other features include a fanless cooling design for low noise operation, VESA wall mount compatibility, and discrete IR codes for use with a macro/programmable remote for creating your own functions. Control all your Samsung A/V components through a single TV remote with Samsung's Anynet system, a network control solution for operating a wide variety of Samsung devices.
The 30-watt stereo audio system (two 15-watt speakers) delivers ample sound for sports and movies. It can provide SRS TruSurround XT virtual surround sound, which solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over the TV's two speakers.

After much research in early 2006, I bought the Samsung HP-4252 HD plasma TV for $2200. After almost 4 years of light use mine also exhibited the red & blue lines with color blotchiness on the screen. The estimated repair bill for mine is similar to others of about $800+. It seems I have now joined an ever growing group of Samsung consumers who have paid about $500+ a year to own this TV.
I really like this TV except is short life span. However I don't want to sink another $800 to $900 into this TV wondering what else might go wrong with it. I also previously owned a Samsung DVD player used with this TV. That DVD player quit after 3 months of use too. I think I'll steer clear of Samsung products in the future and suggest consumers think twice before making a high cost Samsung purchase.

I bought the Samsung HP-4252 HD plasma tv for 2499.00. After 3 years it broke. I am yet another victim of this product. I also got the display issue and now I am looking at a $800.00+ repair. Samsung needs to step up and do something to help us out. So Samsung!, if you are reading this, extend all our warranty's so we can continue to enjoy our Samsung TV's. If not,You will lose me and a lot of other people from buying any Samsung products in the future.

Bought this TV from Circuit City in Dec. 2005. I loved this tv and had no complaints, until this past weekend. The TV started to display the red and blue lines on the screen that distorted the picture. It seems like the same issue as many of the prior posts on this site. Also, after I purchased this TV, I recomended it to my friend who bought the same exact TV a month after I did. His TV went bad one day before mine with the display issue.
I called Samsung's product support explaining the issue with mine and the fact that my friend's TV went 24 hours before mine suggesting that there has to be defect with this model TV, but to no avail, I got the usual "we are investigating the issue" BS..
So, basically I bought a plasma TV for $2400.00 that is only good for less then 4 years. Great investment!!
I am not giving up, I will fight Samsung on this and I hope everyone who is in the same boat will do so as well. Don't let Samsung get away with selling us a defective product..

I have an HPR4252X/XAA 42 inch Samsung Plasma, it is my first plasma, purchased at CircuitCity on a Thanksgiving day.
just like some other users reported, today it suddenly showed distorted picture (red, blue thin lines developed in parts of the screen). I average less than 10 hours usage of this TV, it is situated in a fairly large family room. Very disappointed.

Worked fine for 2 years and now it's dead. Stay away from Samsung or you'll waste your money like me.
