Television Reviews

I purchased the Akai PDP4294 Plasma TV from a local B&M store and just love it. It had all of the features I was looking for: built in speakers, table stand, PIP, Split screen, lots of input connections and a very nice picture. PQ using DVD’s and HD or Digital cable box is breathtaking. SD PQ is fine, sure blacks could be blacker and there is some pixalation but the plasma is just showing what it is getting; poor transmition. I watch this tv from 3-4 feet away and love it. Screen door effect does not seem to be a problem and there is no buzzing sound due to a fanless system. For the price, this set can not be beat!

Akai PDP4294 Plasma TV Descriptions:

Description
The 42-inch Akai PDP4294 widescreen flat-panel plasma EDTV features a built-in dual tuner (PAL/NTSC), progressive-scan picture quality, an incredible 1,200:1 contrast ratio with 700 cd/m2 (candelas per square meter) brightness rating, and an extra-wide 160-degree viewing angle.

The digital comb filter separates colors and eliminates distortion to give you a razor-sharp picture with outstanding clarity. Movie special effects will sound even more powerful with the 14-watt built-in stereo amplifier.

It weighs a relatively light 70.5 pounds and is wall-mountable. It features composite A/V, component-video, and S-video inputs, as well as a computer monitor input (VGA/WXGA).

Tech Info:

• Progressive scan: Also called sequential scanning, a progressive-scan system displays the entire image–providing all the horizontal lines per frame, rather than every other line–once every 60th of a second. This method reduces flicker and increases stability. Progressive-scan viewing requires a compatible digital TV.
• Component video: Unlike a single video input, component video maintains the video signal as three separate signals through three jacks. This connection provides optimum quality. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the Y, Pb, and Pr connections.
