The Samsung PN42C450 is a 42-inch plasma HDTV. The Vizio VU42LFHD is a 42-inch LCD HDTV with 1920 x 1080 native resolution. Both models have a 600Hz refresh rate that helps eliminate motion blur.
If you have to choose from one of these models, then the Samsung PN42C450 may be a better choice than the Vizio VU42LFHD. Here are some of the features that sets the Samsung model apart:
- Ultra-clear panel to absorb light and prevent reflections.
- Better gaming support useful if you have a PlayStation 3 or Xbox.
- Three HDMI inputs as opposed to Vizio’s two HDMI inputs
The Samsung is also fitted with an ultra-clear panel. It is designed to absorb light so that it doesn’t reflect off the surface and interfere with your viewing pleasure. The TV also allows you to view the screen at off-angles without seeing any blur. This is very noticeable when there is scrolling text on the screen.
Samsung’s TV is equipped with an integrated digital tuner. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about connecting an external box. Vizio’s offering has a built-in standard and digital HDTV tuner combined.
Many people want their flat-screen TV mounted on the wall for better viewing. The Vizio VU42LFHD is easy to mount on the wall since it measures less than four inches deep. It also has a removable stand. However, the Samsung outshines in this category since it only measures 2.7 inches thin, and is therefore easier to mount on the wall.
The number of HDMI inputs for your TV may also be an important consideration when buying. The VU42LFHD has two HDMI inputs for you to connect devices to. The PN42C450 on the other hand offers three such inputs, so you can connect more devices to it.
Both TVs, like any worthwhile TV on the market nowadays, has one standard USB 2.0 port. You can insert your digital camera or thumb-drive into this port so you can listen to music, watch videos, or view pictures. Both models also have a PC input that allows you to use it as a computer model.
Audio quality is also an important consideration when buying a new TV. There isn’t much difference between the two in this aspect. They both have two 10-watt speakers that provide 20-watts of audio power. There is also support for second audio program, or SAP, as well as surround sound.
The Vizio VU42LFHD provides support for your high-definition gaming systems like the Xbox and PlayStation 3. The Samsung PN42C450 provides support for these systems also. However, it also has a special game mode. With this mode, the TV will enhance its image processing response to increase the picture quality of your game. The sound quality is also enhanced in this special gaming mode.
Watching fast-motion video on older TVs usually caused motion blur. This isn’t a problem with either of these models. The Vizio has an 8ms response time, while the Samsung offers a .001ms response time for watching fast-motion video.

Get a four way splitter for each source (cable, direct tv channel 3 output of box, and antenna). Connect each source to the input of splitters 1, 2 and 3 as shown:
Antenna to input of splitter 1
Cable to input of splitter 2
DirecTV channel 3 output to input of splitter 3
Run cables from the outputs (3 of 4 available) of each splitter to a three way antenna, cable, satellite (might be marked game) switch located behind each tv. Connect as follows:
Output of each switch to antenna input of each TV.
Output from Antenna splitter (1) to antenna input on three way switch.
Output from Cable splitter (2) to cable input on three way switch.
Output from DirecTV Channel 3 splitter (3) to game input (whatever the third input is named on the switch) on three way switch.
Do this for all three TV sets.
Select the source with the switches and change the TV tuning setting between antenna and cable for this setup when channels above 13 are desired. May require auto tuning the set each time.
If the sets have dual antenna inputs for hdtv antenna and tv cable connect the hdtv antenna directly to that input. Use the switch with the cable tv and the direct tv channel 3 output only (as you will not have to retune the tv for channel 3).
If the TV sets have component inputs or HDMI inputs you may want to get separate DirecTV receivers on their four way splitter (different because it splits the satellite signal from the LNB). And then use the HDTV capable DirecTV receivers. The above setup was for standard DirecTV receiver instead of HDTV.
Hi, sorry for the late reply, this one is the VO2, 800*600 native resolution.
