5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV!, July 28, 2008
By
D. Jenkins "Yacht Sales" (Bradenton,FL)

I bought this TV to replace a 55" Mitsubishi HDTV that I have had for 8 years. I have researched the purchase to death for 2 years. I did not want to go down in size, (I considered the 52" LCD), as the placement would add 2 feet distance, but could not afford the larger LCD. The plasma screen is fabulous. Lots of great features. I bought the Avia II calibration DVD, but the Samsung was spot on in the standard mode. No adjustments needed. We already have a 32" Samsung LCD in the bedroom and have been very happy with it. This was my first major purchase from Amazon and it could not have gone better. The TV arrived 2 days early and the White Glove service was exactly that. The driver helped unpack and set up the TV. We inspected it and powered it up. No problem. I saved around $1,000. over the big box stores.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one AWESOME TV!!, July 22, 2008
By
Larry Bradley (Spanish Fort, AL USA)

This is the TV to buy! Absolute perfect screen, displys HD broadcasts and movies, etc with perfection. Best choice I ever made. Amazon has such an amazing price that you cannot go wrong buying this TV from Amazon. Local electronics stores want a thousand dollars more for this product. It came in ahead of promised date in perfect condition. Amazon's white glove shipping service is a great selling point. They bring it inside your house, unpack it, and plug it in to make sure it works before you sign for it. Take my word for it... BUY IT!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding TV With An Amazing Picture, September 5, 2008
By
M Roberts "M Roberts" (Sacramento, CA)

I spent the good portion of 2 years researching and waffling back and forth on a high def TV. Was 42" plasma big enough? Was LCD better? What would make more sense for the PS3 and Xbox 360? All of these things held me back until finally this TV grabbed my attention. Samsung has created an amazing product. The touch of color adds style and class and this TV has it all. 4 HDMI ports, a PC input, a USB port to load music and photos. The options are endless. The picture is absolutely stunning and out of the box it was amazingly user friendly. This TV has the size and specs to meet all your needs. Gaming on it is awesome with no lag effects like some LCD's have experienced and if you like football then you will love this TV. And a blu ray movie on this set is simply lifelike The white glove service was my only issue. They deliver it and bring it inside, but other than turning it on that is all they do, so take your time examining the TV. Other than that the experience with Amazon was great and they credited my account within one day when the price dropped so I cannot complain. This is a must have for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent TV, April 15, 2009
By
Ronald A. Anderson


I really am glad I purchased this TV. I read reports about it heating up at the corners but I have had no such experience with it. I like the picture and sound quality for normal TV and its not bad for movies either. I did hook up a receiver for 7:1 though. Its a great TV, sleek and I didn't realize for a month that I could touch the edges to control sound, power. Nice feature, The touch of red thing really isnt a big deal. I suppose there is a slight aesthetic appeal but not a buying consideration. Nice inputs/outputs and even a direct network input port - although I haven't used that feature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Samsung 58 Plasma, April 3, 2009
By
Michael A. Dean (Rock Hill, SC United States)

Pro's: This was my best purchased on-line so far. I've researched this TV for several months. I believe I did almost a year of researching before I decide to buy this TV. Since I didn't need to replace my current set I took my time and did my investigation for the best fit for me and my family. I love the colors and the sharpness of the picture. Consumer Reports gave the 50" model high praise and mention that they didn't review the 58" but determine that the results shouldn't be any different. So I went for the 58". Oh baby did it pay off! Since the prices of movie tickets went up I decided that a 58" would be better for watching DVD's and it would feel more like a movie theater. Just like being at the movies. I haven't even tried the High Definition yet and I'm still blown away. Watching the March Madness on this TV is nothing short of spectacular. The blacks are as good or even better than reported. The fast motion is not jittery or boxy like you would get with a LCD's at that size. Going thru Amazon was also a great experience. The truck drivers that delivered the set said "Oh, you got this from Amazon, so you get the grade A delivery service". They helped me unwrap the box. Had me closely inspect it and we turned it on to confirmed it was working. They would have taken the box but they recommended that I keep the box just in case I had to return it within the 30 days.

Cons: The only thing I can say is that I don't like the mute button feature. When you mute the sound you get a speaker display that won't disappear and scrolls up and down the side of the screen. It is totally annoying. The remote is cool but I am not too crazy about it. Too big and not that smartly designed but if those are the only complaint's I really can't complain.

Conclusion: I've been to several big name stores and was able to see this TV up close. The best price was $2,800.00. Eat your heart out retailers, I got this great system for as little as $1,920.00 total. That includes shipping and taxes.
