List of Samsung PN42C450 Review Sources:

Samsung.com corporate website offer users to review this plasma tv and the average rating was 4.9/5 rating. Suspiciously high considering it is its own website and thus reviews might be dubious. One review said: “”This is a great looking TV with a fantastic picture. The one thing that is bad is that it is very hard to assemble the TV to the base. The 10 screws that came with the TV seems to be the wrong size and cannot be seated into the holes.”"

Expert Reviewer Home Cinema Choice gave the  Samsung PN42C450 a solid 4/5 Rating.
