Haier 42EP14S Plasma TV
With better reputation in manufacturing other electronic products, the American Plasma TV company have tried to have a fair split of the pastry. With mere 4 inches in thickness, this comes among those that can be hung on a wall in any living room. Comparatively with other Plasma TV’s in the market, this Haier 42EP14S is available at a reasonable price with all the identical features, in built. Every input need to connect HDTV, regular DVD etc are perfectly placed with this Haier Plasma model. With silver round edge at the outer and a black lining close to the external frame this Plasma looks lustrous and suits any living room at it best. With EDTV picture quality, this Haier 42EP14S has softer images in comparison to the HDTV version. Costing around 2300$ online this plasma is the least expensive EDTV plasma model among its class.
The Haier 42EP14S has few rows of buttons concealed at the bottom just underneath the silver frame, including a couple of logos and the Haier brand name at the centre. The stand ant the entire frame is finished in silver bright. An optional wall-mount bracket worth 149$ and an optional pair of speakers without which you will have to connect to an external sound source as Haier 42EP14S panel do not have built in speakers. The EDTV picture resolution of 852x480 fails to convey every picture details that’s delivered on most HDTV’s, this as a matter of fact would prove costly to users. In displaying 720p and 1080i HDTV pictures the Plasma TV finds no difficulty. The remote control with the Haier 42EP14S is undersized but fits well in the hand. Innovative freeze option is a cool addition to the remote of this Haier model.
Picture zoom and freeze are few noticeable features with it. Selectable colour-temperature settings give you an option to select the colour palette that pleases you the most. With just one component-video input, one S-Video input, one DVI input, one composite-video input, a set of A/V outputs and one VGA input for PC hook up the connectivity is limited. Considering today’s standards, Haier 42EP14S is one that has too low standards with below-average picture quality. Black performance levels of this plasma are not too good. On the other hand, colour decoding is a first-rate. Bearing in mind the price tag and its features it might suit people with not much of much expectations from Plasma.
