Hi Armond,

I'm not having any luck on looking up the 5362 model. Could this be a typo?

I was looking seriously at the HP-R5072 but decided against it for two reasons. One, you cannot defeat the DNIe processing which causes crushing of the blacks and two, it's resolution is not 1920x1080 which causes the HD signal to be down-res'd.

I messed up. I gave the wrong model number. It's the Samsung HPS-4253....

I agree with Tex Meek on Samsung's DNle feature. It does crush blacks. But on my Samsung flatpanel lcd you can disable DNle. Perhaps this feature is also on HPS 4253 plasma model you are interested in. I would definitely check it out first before buying.

George,

FYI, I could not refuse not to buy this model. They gave me such a good deal on it. After reading the manual, it turns out that you CAN turn of the DNIe. So folks....If you are looking for a Plasma...this is it. At this price range,no one can come close. Not even Pioneer or Panny's. The pictures and colors are sharp and true to life. I'm very satisfied. :T

Oh, now that is sweet! :T I'm going to have to see if that capability has been retrofitted to the HP-R5072.

Good Luck! I hope so too.
