1Nice Picture, Great Price, Horrible Product  Jun 17, 2010
The picture is great, specially for the price but this TV has broken twice now. All it does it click when it breaks. Do a search, this appears to be a common problem. Each time it beaks, it takes about two weeks to get it fixed. Something about not having the part in stock. I will never buy a Samsung TV again.

5Samsung 50in Plasma TV  May 21, 2010
I found this TV thru Consumer Reports. It was one of the best TV's in my budget and it was highly recommended by this magazine. I couldn't find the TV in stores though. The Samsung website had the TV listed for a much highter price than the magazine listed. Amazon was the only place to find this TV at the price that I was looking for. I've never ordered something this big or expensive thru Amazon so I was pretty scared to order it but I took a chance. I was relieved that when the TV was delivered, there wasn't a scratch on any surface of this beautiful TV. The delivery man set it up for me. The TV has performed as well as the magazine stated. I'm very happy with my Amazon purchase.

5simply superb  May 04, 2010
Considering the design and performance this plasma HD television is so far the best. in order to get a true cinematic experience @ home this hd tv is in one word just superb. what I can say the color, the sound, the true 1080p resolution everything is outstanding. I just loved it.

5Stunning Picture!  May 03, 2010
I am thrilled with the picture and utilization of this 50 inch plasma. I own a Sony 34 in CRT HD, a 37 in Vizeo LED HD, a 24 in Samsung HD Monitor and this 50 in plasma beauty. This is my first plasma purchase and I am not dissapointed in the least. The pictue is stunning and the controls are simple as well as the connections.

5Extremely happy with this Television  May 02, 2010
I did extensive on-line research for over a month before deciding which flat screen to buy. My first dilema was LCD vs. Plasma. This was the easy part of my decision. I like movies and sports, and plasma handles fast motion much better. A few things that made me consider LCD were: burn in, glare, and screen brightness. I haven't had it long enough to comment on burn in (I am still following the break in procedures), but even with all the calibration settings low, brightness & glare are a non issue. I have watched it with all the lights in my family room on with the brightness at 40, & still didn't have a problem seeing it.
The next (and hardest by far) decision was Panasonic vs. Samsung vs. LG. All these brands received good reviews from multiple sources including this site. I finally settled on the Samsung mainly becuase I already own two smaller Samsungs, and have been extremely happy with them. I know Pioneer is supposed to be a step ahead of everyone else, but they also cost twice as much. Any knock you read on this TV is from an extremely picky viewer. Even the sound, which received the most complaints, isn't that bad for TV speakers. I can't imagine not having it hooked up a sourround system anyway. The picture will absolutely knock you socks off. I popped in Avatar on Blu Ray, and it was amazing (even with the break in settings). I can't wait to turn this thing loose and see what it can do. A word on break in. I know Samsung and other brands officially state that you do not need to break in Plasma TV's any more. I read a post by a Samsung tech on their website that stated although it is not absolutely necessary, he would not skip this step on his own personal set. That's good enough for me, I'm doing it. To be honest, I probably would have been happy with the LG, or the Panasonic too. I compared the three side by side in Fry's, and they seemed pretty much equal. They all got great pictures. I will admit that the color was better on the Samsung, but not enough that I would not consider the other brands if they were a couple hundred dollars cheaper. I guess my point is, if you are a normal TV/Movie viewer, and not a hard core videofile, you will be happy with any of these brands. Buy the one you can get at the best price. I'm not saying don't do any research. There are still particular models, even from top manufacturers, that you will want to avoid. What I am saying is that I probably did way too much research to the point that I was almost confused and worried that I may have picked the wrong one. My fears disappeared once I got it sep up and turned on.
A side note on this TV. As I understand it, most TV's come in "demo mode". When I first got it, my set kept setting itself back to the "Dymanic" setting. I knew it was demo mode, but couldn't find how to change it. Here's how: Press the volume button on the fron panel of the TV(up or down, it doesn't matter) and when the volume bar appears on the screen, push and hold the menu button for 7 seconds. A box will appear on the screen telling you it is now in normal mode.

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!

Washington, D.C. (July 2010) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)

The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2009 and June 2010. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its July 2010 issue.)

"
Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."

Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com came closest.
