Ok so after a long battle to get my old tv returned I finally got my plasma. It is the new Samsung htp4264. Overall great picture quality even on non hd channels. But out of the box I have had 2 problems. My HDMI 1 port is not working no matter what I plug in there it isnt working. Second I noticed that when on HD channels some of the channels would cut audio in and out. Only 2 hrs old and I have to call service. Not happy about this but once this is fixed I will be happy. Overall great tv. If anyone has any recomendations for me please let me know,
Thanks
Martin

Hey, Martin. Have you seen this thread?

A couple other owners of the new Samsung plasmas have had the same hdmi audio problem. No resolution yet, as far as I know.

Thanks I did see that after I wrote this post, I am so mad because this set is amazing my biggest issue is one of the HDMI ports do not work and I cannot return to the store....So now I have to deal with customer service.
