The Bottom Line While CNET has not reviewed the Samsung HP-T4254, we have reviewed the similar Samsung HP-T5064. The picture quality of the Samsung HP-T5064 places it among the top tier of 50-inch plasma HDTVs. With deep black levels and generally excellent picture quality, the more eco-friendly Panasonic TC-PS1 series of plasma TVs strikes an appealing price/performance balance.
