Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - TV burned out in 4 years
Adding to the long list of commentary, this was a top-rated value in 2005 so I along with many others did buy it. Great picture right up to the day the screen went black in the middle of watching. Had a few red/blue pixels and then absolutely black screen. This is the first TV I ever owned that died. There is clearly an issue of quality with this Samsung product. $500/year of TV viewing makes for a ridiculously poor value. Stay away from Samsung unless they do something in the future to show that they actually stand by their products. And post to broader websites (rather than to just a model review here) so that Samsung feels the consumer backlash and other folks don't end up being suckers like we were.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Mine stopped working at under four (4) years of use
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.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't buy Samsung!
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.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Waring! TV with a 3 year life span!
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..



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not working after under 4 years of light use
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.
