Product Review
Amazon.com Product Description
Jump into tomorrow with the 42-inch Akai PDP4294 widescreen flat-panel plasma EDTV. It 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 Talk

  • 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable Value, August 24, 2004
This review is from: Akai PDP4294 42-Inch Plasma Flat Panel EDTV (Electronics)
Having owned a competitors plasma in the past, I must say the AKAI definitely outshines it. I went a local retailer and compared picture quality. The AKAI stood out to a point where I thought it might even be high definition. The picture is extremely bright and clear and I am very happy with my purchase.

This review is from: Akai PDP4294 42-Inch Plasma Flat Panel EDTV (Electronics)
I was a bit reluctant to buy this because of the name. I did find out that it is made by Samsung and that was O.K. for me. I paid 2000.00 for this 5 years ago. Other than the remote being just "FUNKY", I have no complaints. The picture is as bright, clear and beautiful as the day I first powered it up. Even though it is only ED, my family and friends who own HD's can't tell the difference, of couse with a HD signal. Picture quality in standard broadcast is not that good, actually awful. But who would buy a ED or HD tv without having a HD incoming signal? If I can find a new "old stock" of this same unit I would buy it in a heartbeat. Especially for the price you would be able to buy it for today.

This review is from: Akai PDP4294 42-Inch Plasma Flat Panel EDTV (Electronics)
I've had this tv since 2004 and at first I could not figure out why the colors were so washed out. Then I realized that I needed to upgrade the cables to RGB. After that, the picture quality was outstanding. I have never had a problem with the system and with the additional features it has, I have definitely under used it.
