 Amazing Amazon -Amazing Samsung !!! January 8, 2010

We bought this TV after 3 months of research and analytics. In the end in our analysis Plasma won over LCD and Samsung won over Panasonic.We were decided on the Panasonic G10 but made a switch at the last minute with this deal to save some extra $$. We may also have a Sammy bias as we have owned 3 Samsung TVs so far and are very happy with their performance and service.
First on Amazing Amazon - This was our first big electronics deal on Amazon. No sales tax + free dly = no brainer ! Amazon gives you the best deal - period. We chose standard delivery and were lucky to get the TV delivered at home in 3 days !! Very professional and courteous folks from CEVA brought the big package one level up the stairs, unpacked and hooked it up for us. Very smooth! This beats site to store/pick up from any big box retailer.
Now on the Amazing Samsung TV - amazing colors and contrast - our other TV is a Sammy LCD hdtv and we feel Plasma picture quality is way superior than LCD. LED LCDs are comparble/better but almost $1k more expensive at same size.
Having watched CRT most of our growing years we are tolerant to a bit of glare and chose not to shell out extra money to avoid it completely. This TV reduces glare to a large extent but you still get some if light source is in direct reflection path. a non issue for us. Also while we worry about the image retention /burn in issue we have not seen any so far even though we watch all the regular news channels and logo channels as before. Again possibly we are not looking for it so do not notice when it does happen for a while and then it gets corrected automatically in a few minutes. We mainly watch Cable TV and on weekends watch a few DVDs. The TV is in its 2nd week now and we are taking precautions like making the picture larger to fit screen or in wide mode. The in built pixel shift process for preventing image retention is also in the ON mode and working I guess. Will update after the break in period is over.
We have no issue with the sound on this TV - we use direct sound from TV as well as have it wired to a 5.1 Sammy Home Theater system which we use only switch to for the movies or special progrmas.
Size was another factor we had trouble deciding. From 46 to 55 inch we finally decided it had to be 50. 46 is aso a decent if you are upgrading from a 32 or 37 and 50/52 is as good as 55 if you want a bigger look. The difference is more noticable in showrooms with TVs side by side - otherwise even after months of looking at TVs we get fooled into thinking a lone 46 on the wall is a 52 or that a 50 is a 54- to us they all look equally big in isolation.
Overall we are very happy with this purchase and recommend it strongly to anyone looking for a good TV with a great picture and at a great price.
A great TV January 10, 2010

We checked out Consumer Reports before plunging into the confusing and confounding task of choosing a new TV. My husband was dead set against plasma at first due to the initial problems plasma TV's were known for- burn in, reflection, and energy consumption. Boy are we both glad he gave this TV a chance. The picture quality is absolutely amazing. To achieve maximum useage out of the 1080p, 600hz capability, definitely invest in a blu ray player and upgrade to hd TV with your cable or digital TV provider. Seriously, once you see an HD image on this baby, you'll never want to watch anything else. My husband plays video games and if you like to game, you have to go plasma. Now lets talk price. Our old LCD Samsung that we replaced with this TV cost us about $500 more and was 8 inches smaller. We bought it here, on amazon, on sale with no sales tax and free shipping with our amazon prime trial for a grand total of $1139. How bout them apples?! The blu ray images are so amazing it is almost like you could walk right into the picture. Some have almost a 3D quality. No jaggies, blurring, or any of the traditional LCD problems. This TV is energy star rated, we haven't seen any burn in. I'll be honest and say that I'm still getting used to seeing a bit of reflection after having an LCD for so long. We have it in a pretty bright room, so sometimes we need to shut the curtains so we're not distracted by the reflection. A small small price to pay for such an amazing picture and a great price. One last thing- we also looked at the 850 model of this TV. The ONLY difference between the two is the thickness of the unit, and the price. So, unless having a TV that is an inch and a half thick versus 2 and a half to 3 inches thick for about 500 bucks more is super important to you- stick with this one.
GREAT TV February 17, 2010

If you're concerned at all about buying a plasma, concern yourself no longer. I did a ton of research through CNET, Consumer Reports (even the editor's blogs), biased sales reps and, yes, even user reviews at Amazon. There is no buzzing. There is no burn-in. There is no glare (well, just a little more than an LCD). And the sound is pretty good, to boot. The TV produces a great picture from even the sharpest of angles and there is almost no motion blur. I was worried about my 5-year-old kids creating burn-in with their average of about 4 hours of Wii playing time each day, but there's no problem (even with them forgetting to turn off the TV when they pause on menu screens for several minutes). This is CR's highest-rated TV (bar none) for a reason. If you want to get all techy, go to another review. All I can say is that sports look great (I'm not a basketball fan, but that sport looks especially good, as does golf) and HD movies through ATT's U-verse also look amazing.

My first plasma; comparison is Samsumg 40A750 LCD. This plasma is awesome. There are some windows right near the TV that brings in some good afternoon sun and no glare/great picture. Picture looks stunning in HD mode and on the PS3 (call of duty,..) Colors are beautiful, blacks are black. NO BUZZING. Hard to compare to my LCD except that the plasma seems brighter during day time...though it may not be a fair comparison as the LCD is in a great room with tons of windows while the plasma is in the basement which only has 4 windows. The picture of both TV is amazing and I am glad I stuck with Samsung.
Amazon (CEVA) brough the TV to house, unpacked it, hooked everything and turned it on before leaving - GREAT service again (as was with my LCD I bought last year).
