Samsung 4 Series (2008)
$442.39
Released March, 2008
The Pros:Matte screen reduces reflections. Picture in picture capability. High contrast ratio.
The Cons:720p native resolution. 3 HDMI inputs instead of 4. The scalling process actually takes a 4x3 cut of the 16x9 signal the stretches it out to give an artificial 16x9 aspect ratio. People appear short and squat and you miss some available screen images. Spend the extra on a 1080 set.
