So Clear, I even watch commercials
This TV is absolutely amazing. I did my due dilligence on this one. I shopped over 6 months before I pulled the trigger. Panny was nice, bit overpriced. Same with Sony. Looked at the lower cost Vizio, but I just couldn't get past the name. Also, they did not have a 58" model. Got the Samsung and have zero regrets. Also, I was a little nervous about buying something this large on line especially given the mixed reviews about Ceva as a shipping company. All I can say is everything worked out perfectly. Ceva was one day early and communicated well. TV was set up in my living room. They even offered to take away the box if I wanted. I was skeptical of this whole thing going in, but as you can probably gather, I am a true believer. By the way, this is my first review as I usually don't take the time to compliment. However, this one deserves it.

Amazing!
This tv is amazing. The picture quality is very good. When we turned the tv on we were blown away. We have our own mini movie theater now! :)Blu ray makes a big difference. We've had no problems with it being too hot or having any problems with glare.

Terrible Terrible Terrible Experience - READ THIS!!
Please beware - it is NOT amazon that is selling this TV, it is OneCall, they DO NOT have white glove delivery as Amazon claims to have! Also, they have a return policy that states that they cannot take return of TVs over 20 inches. So they drop it off literally on the curb and claim you damaged it getting it in the house and they will not take returns! I am still fighting this one with my bank; they tried to warn me (apparently they have had numerous complaints about OneCall). Amazon is becoming like eBay, with unscrupulous merchants who they claim no responsibility for. I never got to see what this TV was like I spent $2,400 for nothing and it has not been returned yet.

Review of Delivery and Initial Impression
We just had this TV delivered today so I can't give the all important review on longevity, but we are so pleased with Amazon and CEVA that I had to write an initial review for anyone shopping for the holidays. Like us you may have doubts about ordering something this big online and having it delivered. Trust me, this was easier (and cheaper) than dealing with the sales people in the stores and then trying to load it in your car or paying to have it delivered. Note: This was sold by Amazon, not a 3rd party.
We ordered late Thursday night and it was delivered early Tuesday morning by CEVA. I did use the tracking information that was sent to me and as soon as I saw on Monday that it had arrived in Dallas I called CEVA to set up a delivery. They are supposed to call, but with Thanksgiving this week I didn't want to wait even a day. They said they could come the next day and gave me a time frame.
The White Glove delivery was perfect and 10 minutes after they left we were watching a gorgeous picture complete with the cable, TIVO and sound system set up. They don't connect all that, but the TV is that easy. We've had the TV on all day and can't get over how much better the picture is than our[...] 52" Mit DLP. I'll try to remember to update this review in a few months with more info on the actual TV.

Very happy with this TV
I'm very happy with this 58" plasma tv. After 3 months of researching, I am glad so say this is a great plasma tv for the price. The colors and the tv itself look great. I was worried about the glare on the tv, since I've read some negative responses with glare and plasma tv's. I have not had any glare issues at this point, as long as the blinds are closed. The HD channels look incredible, so does the blue ray movies. I highly recommend this anyone looking for a plasma tv. I also got $150 credited after I bought the tv, because the price went down. I was also worried about the delivery of the tv. The whole delivery was good.
