Samsung PN50A550 Review 1
“Let me start of by making some of you feel a little better about buying a major purchase online. I was very skeptical about having this delivered safe and on-time, but the $400+ I was saving from BB, CC & other local retailers was enough to swing me. I bought my PN50A550 from Amazon.
The Samsung TV finally hooked up and the picture quality is MIND BLOWING! Spent hours watching Discovery and Animal planet. Can’t wait to get ps3, although I can’t imagine being much happier.
Plenty of settings available if you are in to tweaking the pq. Blacks are exactly what I was looking for. No IR, loud noises or extreme heat. The sound is good enough that you don’t notice they are TV speakers.
Using the CNet settings, although movie mode is pretty close out of the box. Honestly, the only complaint I have is that I waited as long as I did to decide on this one.”
PN50A550 Review 2
“Overall, I highly recommend this Plasma television. Great in a big room where it’s kiddie-cornered for viewing from a large L-shaped couch as the picture is perfect from most any angle. No glare issues either! I also highly recommend going through Amazon directly.
I’ve had the Samsung PN50A550 for about a month now and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I checked Consumer Reports again and see how the Samsung PN50A550 ranked.
I was dumbfounded when I saw that the PN50A550 was rated the best overall score and picture quality tested by Consumer Reports for plasmas in the 50-inch category. The next step was the price…the cheapest I was able to find at the CC’s, BB’s and other more regional showrooms was in the $1600 – $1700 range, before taxes and shipping. Amazon by far had the best price when I ordered, $1550, no tax and “white glove” shipping was included.
Let me tell you, Amazon went through CEVA for delivery and they were great! It was all worth the extra $50 to avoid the aggravation and have some peace of mind. ”
Samsung PN50A550 Plasma TV Review 3
“This TV is my first large HDTV (I have a 24″ Samsung 720p LCD), and after reading some reviews I was concerned about the black level and the reflectiveness of the screen, but after getting the set all of my concerns were laid to rest.
The TV picture is absolutely mesmerizing. I feed in Verizon FIOS HD, and an XBOX 360 (HDMI) and the results are absolutely incredible! The colors are fantastic, and with minimal adjustment the contrast and colors are great. I also had some concerns about the sound on the set, however it is actually much better than I had figured it would be.
I also had questions about lag, which I really can’t find any appreciable amount of, thankfully, even with video games and TV out (through a DVI-HDMI cable) from my computer. Also, I found the black levels were great after minor adjustment, and, for me, the reflectivity of the screen is not an issue, even with sunlight bouncing off of the wall behind me.
For me this TV really has changed they way I watch TV, and I think its a great thing. bucks.”
