Tech Talk
EDTV: Abbreviation for enhanced-definition television, which is a subset of the new digital TV specification. This format produces 480 lines of progressive-scan resolution (or 480p). Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio refers to the shape of the video image. Standard television has a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is almost square in appearance. Digital television will have either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio, which is widescreen and appears rectangular, looking more like a movie screen and filling more of the viewer's field of vision for a more lifelike viewing experience.

Scanning method: Frames of video are made up of many lines of video that are scanned onto a television screen so closely they appear to be a solid picture. The scanning method can be either interlaced or progressive. Interlaced scanning (also used in today's analog TV), indicated by an "i" in the video format, fills in the odd number lines (1,3,5,7...) and then fills in the even number lines (2,4,6,8...) until the frame is complete. Progressive scanning, "p," fills in each line consecutively until the frame is complete, like a computer display.

What's in the Box
DP42SM 42-inch TV, remote control, 2 AAA batteries, 1 AC power cord, 1 15-pin PC cable, 1 audio cable, 1 A/V cable, and printed operating instructions.

Customer Reviews:

great picture, very good service.......2005-12-23

Dec 23, 2005
I purchased the daewoo dp42sm plasma, had a small blue line through the picture. called the mfg...they issued a pick up authorization. Then I read the horror stories that this column wrote, got scared that I would be treated the same way.

I experienced none of the problems listed in this review of comments. They replaced my unit with a new unit as they said they would. I was finished with the process just under 2.5 weeks. I don't know what made the difference, but the experience was not as bad as I was made to believe.

A happy customer --- with my plasma tv back in the great room!

Buyer Beware.......2005-05-16

Although I bought this plasma because I liked the very sharp and clear picture, it has a common problem that I didn't discover until recently.
There was a "pop" sound then the picture went black. I have spent the last 30 days with Best Buy and the Daewoo trying to get a new television. I have had the plasma for one year and did purchase the extended warranty. The service tech says that it cannot be repaired but the manufacturer will not respond and Best Buy does not want to give up a new set until they hear from Daewoo. Nice tv, lousy service from Best Buy and Daewoo.

Most bang for your buck.......2005-04-15

The Daewoo tv is spectacular and is more than I could have dreamed for the price. You won't be sorry if you get one of these. Now I've seen the price at about 1,500 I paid 1,999 a year ago and am very pleased as you can probaly tell.

DO NOT BUY WITHOUT SERVICE PLAN!!!.......2005-02-03

I bought a 42" Daewoo from Best Buy a little over a year ago
and today as we were watching it there was a loud pop and the
picure just went black---nothing. Thanks God I bought the 4 year
extended service contract but right now I wish they offered more
like a 10 year contract. Never had a television go out after only one year, makes me wonder what else is in store.

Great TV.......2004-06-26

We purchased the TV back in February and had it for about 8 weeks. In late April we started to get red lines from top to bottom about every inch on the screen. We purchased the extended service plan from Best Buy and called them. They sent their service person out and he determined the TV could not be fixed. Best Buy wanted us to deal with Daewoo because of the manfacturers warranty. DO NOT DEAL WITH DAEWOO DIRECTLY, Daewoo will not give you a new replacement unit it is reconditioned.
When I informed Best Buy of Daewoo's replacement policy they picked up the broken TV and replaced it with a new one.
Even though we had this little problem the TV is fantastic and highly recomended. We are very happy with it and you will be too I'm sure......

As far as the sound is concerned, Philips has provided this television with Incredible Surround and dbx hi-fi stereo sound for full-impact home entertainment!

Amazon.com Product Description

Sporting a wall-like 60-inch screen, the Philips 60P8341 projection TV truly brings the theater into your home.

Video Features
This analog projection television features Multipoint Digital Convergence for ideal color reproduction and crisply defined edges. The CRT also features an enhanced green phosphor for richer, natural colors, and image flicker reduction. On top of that, the set's Progressive Scan Doubler eliminates horizontal scan lines seen in conventional television images. Its picture-in-picture feature is actually a split screen, so the two simultaneously playing programs are shown at full height. This feature also works with multiple video sources, such as the Internet, a videotape, DVD, video game, and, of course, conventional television programs. Finally, it features a digital comb filter, which enhances resolution by removing the blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl.

It also features Video and dbx sound processing. Connections include a side and rear component A/V input, two side jack S-video inputs, one composite A/V output, and a headphone jack

Other Features
This set includes a lighted universal remote.

Customer Reviews:

Super wide viewing angle!.......2004-09-24

I have the 64" version of this TV. This is the best projection TV I've ever seen. It blows away all those that you see at sprts bars. The viewing angle is wide which allows a lot of people to watch at the same time without having to crowd directly in front of the screen. Also, the built-in speakers sound great, the picture is vivid and crisp, and the set has every connection you could possibly want.

Big Screen TV with great picture!.......2001-06-19

This is the first big screen TV that I have seen with such a rich picture. It blows all other big screens away. Philips has definitely improved their technology in TVs. I recommed this to anyone who is waiting for a perfect big screen picture!

Amazon.com Product Description

Customer Reviews:

High expectations exceeded........2003-03-24

Firstly, the missing specs: <[local website]P>I finally replaced my NEC 21" CRT after 8 years and three CPU's. It still worked, but CRT resolutions at 1280, even at 21", are fuzzy. At least in comparison to an LCD.

Brand loyalty, 1600x1200 20", black frame, no stupid speakers (I *hate* built in speakers), and no embossed, saturated color logo (*yuck*), led me to the single choice of 2080UX-BK. My high expectations were exceeded.

This monitor is top quality and it's all about screen. The thin, black frame does not creak when adjusted. Beyond the pixel contrast that I expect from a quality lcd, I was most impressed with the 'lazy susan' swivel in the base. The swivel avoids force for the most common left-right adjustment.

My advice: Put your money into the monitor. It's the only component that really lasts.
