720p plasma can … 720p plasma can look better than 1080p lcd on alot of sets in this price range. plus the sound on this set isnt good, it does have better picture quality than most in its price range sorry but this guy must have spent 5 minuets with the tv then read his review off a dry erase board behind the camera. I gave it 1 star, sorry but you have now clue what your talking about
I know this is an … I know this is an old review but this guy has this bassakwards… The sound is trash. but as far as picture goes this set is amazing. all of my friends that have hd sets even 1080 are amazed when they see this set. this is a super bargain especially now that you can get it around 8-900
i have this tv. but … i have this tv. but i am now converting to a 42inch lg lcd , basicly i went for the 50″ plasma as i was just lookin for a big tv and this was suprisingly cheap. but i found out later on that when playin games ect for no longer than two hours it would ghost. this is why i feel lcd is better. so if your into gaming and dont want to worry about maps ect and get the best out of your console go with lcd. if your just buying a tv for films and tv id go with plasma.
Hi eraser777,
Sorry … Hi eraser777,
Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy our review more but thanks for leaving your user insight for our other viewers! It’s great to have user feedback!
i have this tv, and after properly adjusting the settings from avsforum the black levels are amazing. the speakers on the other hand, suck. you get plenty of vibration from them when the volume is loud. this guy couldn’t have gotten it more mixed up.
It’s a great tv for … It’s a great tv for the price with an outstanding picture. It’s not the best compared to the pricier models but a massive step up from an SDTV. There is some bad ghosting of images but it is very temporary.
Also beware of burn in! I listened to the Best Buy clown that told me that burn in doesn’t happen anymore with plasmas and have gotten some permanent burn in from letterboxed movies and videogames. Make sure you adjust your picture settings to lessen this. I found out too late.
Just bought one … Just bought one last month for 900 out the door. love it ,720 hd looks great. I could see the diff between 1080, but it saved me 600 bucks, I dont watch blue rays or play video games, so why spend the money? just hope it lasts the 11 years. Samsung says 11 years panel life. LOL
This Samsung plasma … This Samsung plasma is a great buy, if you can still find one…under a grand. Only cons is the sound/speakers(weak?)…which most people will use a surround system anyway. For those if you who need all the bells and gadgets, need to spend at least 5grand on a TV, and fell the need to know you have got 1080p which most could not pick out of a line up at over 5ft away….dont buy this model. Sorry I think its a great buy and like it give it 8/10
… HAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahah>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LOL YA ER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought one for … I bought one for christmas. Picture looks absolutely as good as any I’ve seen. Have had no problems and could not possibly be happier about my purchase. I got the tv and a sony suround sound system for just over a 1000 bucks.
Hey I agree , it … Hey I agree , it does give one of a picture. You can not see the difference compared to the higher end model. And yes I read the manual over and over again. Page 3 tells you all about how burn ins are not covered. My TV is set 16:9, my HD box is set 16:9 1080I,4:3 over ride is off. I bought this TV , to watch TV, and that is it!!!!!!!!!! And Im sorry did I say I bought another plasma, LG LCD. ITS a good buy for a reason, THEY ARE JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
your exaclty right, … your exaclty right, standard HD is 720p and for the most part only a trained eye can pickout the 1080 at a distance over 5′ with screens under 50″ anyway. Seems to me an untrained eye would be able to see the motion blur, and inferior PQ in the LCD sets compared to any plasma?
To start with … To start with Samsung makes it very clear, only someone who cant read would miss that burn in is not covered under the waranty. Sorry not buying your motion blur set LCD. This plasma TV is very good buy, can find it for under 900 bucks, also has very good ratings by cnet, and my own eyes find the picture very good, even compared side by side to much higher priced plasmas……there is much reading on the net comparing plasma vs lcd - lcd screens have motion blur period, some worse than others.
Take it for whats … Take it for whats it’s worth! My advise is free. I payed $1,300 for mine,and to repair it was $1,600 for the panel, and $ 450 for labour. D o the math on that. Unless you have to throw away, which you probably do not because if you did you would not be looking at this TV. But hey its your money.
My TV was white washed and scrolled so much it burned the TV out……!! And guess what not cover under warranty…..
Now I bought a real TV LG scarlet………. two thumbs up !!!!!!
This t.v. has … This t.v. has burn-in resist, and anti-glare. There really is no visable difference between this, and a 1080p, the 1080p version just has darker darks.
I challenge you to … I challenge you to compare any lcd even a 120hz set next to an entry level plasma…. the plasma is the better picture always, not to mention lcd’s blur effect, and glowing skin tone.
Maybe its just me, … Maybe its just me, watching standard HD on the Samsung compared next to a 1080p set sorry couldnt tell one from the other, guess it takes a trained eye………? I also have read many reviews giving the Samsung better PQ ratings even over Panny entry level plasmas? Im still shopping but this is my likely pick, being the picture looks great even compared to some of the high dollar sets asking 4x the price.
actually it was the … actually it was the pn50a510 which is missing the side inputs…saves me 400 dollars i dont care. best buy was selling it for 1199.99 minus 100 bucks off for install promo. so really it was 1100.00 plus tax…the day before the superbowl it was 1299.99…funny how that works
The Samsung PN50A450 is a 50-inch
