HP PL4200N Review
The good: Deep blacks result in excellent contrast ratio; solid video processing with 2:3 pull-down; comprehensive feature package.
The bad: Poor color decoding; somewhat limited connectivity; can't change aspect ratio with HD sources.
The bottom line: Despite some trade-offs in color fidelity, the HP PL4200N delivers a surprisingly solid picture with excellent blacks and plenty of punch.
