REVIEW: Samsung PN50A550 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV

Great Choice for HDTV!! #1 Best Buy!!
I purchased this TV without even seeing it in person!! Here's why:
1.) I've done oodles of reserch over the years
2.) #1 rating Consumer Reports best buy
3.) Great reviews from owners
4.) Great deal on the Amazon website
5.) Samsung name

I was fortunate to purchase this TV at the end of November when it came with free shipping, free white glove delivery, and 0 off the Samsung BD-P1500 blu-ray player (which at the time was 9).
What a deal!! I have yet to see a better one...but keep looking it may come again.
The TV is just as advertised fabulous BD, DVD, & HD pictures...you can't go wrong with this purchase.

Excellent plasma!
I bought this tv in early November and have been totally floored by it! The color is perfect and the picture can be adjusted from really deep blacks to exceptionally high contrast and brightness. Locally broadcast HD channels look awesome. Even standard dvds look great on this set. Even watching movies you've seen before is like actually watching them for the very first time on this tv. The only thing I've found not to like on this tv is the picture-in picture function. When using the PIP you can only get an analog signal, not a digital one. Which will make the feature pretty much useless after the change over. That being said, it's a pretty small con when compared to the great HD reception, and overall excellent picture quality no matter what medium it's being displayed on. I give it 5 out of 5 stars!

looking for a real good tv please dont pick this one. before the tv shut down the picture isnt real good compared to lcd
I have received a broken Samsung PN50A550 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV . I would like my money back very fast. Thanks for nothing Electronic Expo , I have the hardest time getting in touch with the manager Ara he never calls me back .I called him ten times . The customer service guys told my i have to call a repair man on a new tv. I only had the Tv for ten minutes until i had to call it in broken. The guys that delivered my tv did not even let me open and check the tv's condition . I am going to bring you to court. You should be hearing from the better business bureau soon Electronic Expo

plasma rocks
The Samsung lioves up to everything it promises: Clear, vivid picture and excellent angle viewing. Base swivel is nearly effortless so it's very easy to "point" the TV to your specific seating. I highly recommend it.

great tv for hd
This was a good buy, I was impressed with Amazon's free and fast delivery, their delivery company brought the TV inside my house unwrapped it, set it up and pluged it in and made shure it worked!
The HD channels through the cable box look excellant, but regular channels
do not look that great, they looked better on my old plasma that is 1024 by 768. One more thing I did not like is that this TV has a built in tuner, which I do not need because I have a cable box, but my kids keep hitting the large TV button on the remote and and the TV input goes to TV which is the tuner and cannot find their favorite cable channels.
The blu ray movies look great on this TV. The TV itself looks great too.
In general I think it was a good buy I would highly recomend this TV.
