Date: 2008-12-20 WOW Um, This is my first 1080p big screen TV and after researching for 5 months I decided on this model. I am not disappointed. This TV offers me every thing I could possibly image out of a TV...Just waiting to get my new receiver hooked up and my home theater experience will be complete! I highly recommend this TV and for the price of $1,650 no tax and free shipping!?!?!? I feel like I mad a great purchase. Date: 2008-12-20 samsung plasma incredible tv. i had a 30 inch first generation hdtv before i got this one and what a difference. i had been wanting a new tv for a while and couldn't decide. i'm glad i chose this one. Date: 2008-12-15 Wow... Simply Wow. Compared to my old rear projection unit, this is an exceptional unit. It is in a room where the east facing wall is all windows, and with the Samsung on the southern wall the picture is bright and clear in all light conditions, and glare has been a non-issue for me. Another satisfied customer. Date: 2008-12-15 Love It, Love It, Can't watch enough of it! I started my search for my first widescreen TV, the Samsung 50" Plasma, on Amazon.com (because it was the lowest price I could find on the Internet at the time) which heavily influenced my decision on what TV to buy. After reading several reviews, I decided on this TV and every good thing that was written about it was absolutely true. I mounted it over my fireplace which has a rock venire. The Touch of Color couldn't look any sweeter against the rock. I not only connected my Macbook and Wii to it but was pleasantly surprised to find that the HDMI v1.3 interfaces support both video and audio with the one HDMI cable for my upconverting 1080i DVD player. I have an old but durable TV antenna in the attic so I thought it was cool for the TV to have a signal strength meter in the setup menu to help find the best placement of it for optimal HD over the air reception. That works very well also! The picture is outstanding. I didn't have any trouble with it being damaged in transit. The white glove delivery was cool which brought the TV to where I wanted it in my house, unboxed it, and turned it on to make sure it wasn't DOA. The TV arrived in about 5 days from when I purchased it online which included a weekend. The sound wave that plays when you turn it on and off is really cool. The TVs in Korea do that when I was there recently. If I have any regrets at all about the TV, one is that I didn't get the Blu-Ray player when I purchased the TV which offered $200 off the $299 price. The other is that the USB port on the TV plays MP3s from a flash drive but unfortunately doesn't work with the IPOD. Apparently it only works with Windows FAT32 and not anything else. When I was in Korea, the only IPOD Touches I saw were sported by Americans. Too bad. I haven't hooked up the Ethernet port on the TV yet but since I can connect my laptop using the TV as the primary monitor, I didn't care too much about getting RSS feeds on the TV. The manual says that it only supports a Samsung wireless Ethernet adapter if you want to go Wi-Fi. That seems pretty childish. Proprietary devices end up limiting the acceptance of a technology, not helping it. Anyway, of all the widescreen TVs I have seen over the past 5 years, either in a store or in someone's home, this is certainly one of the best for what you pay. At the end of the day, I couldn't be happier with my selection. Date: 2008-12-15 BEYHOND BELIEF I purchased this set a week or so ago and received it one day prior to the big ice storm here in the North East. Amazon white glove delivery is exceptional and the guys stayed around until we got the set mounted on my stand. This took awhile but they hung in there I needed their lifting power. The set was easy to set up and the picture in Dynamic mode makes you think you are in the NFL stadium of your choice. I am currently watching the Steelers and Ravens and have never seen anything like this. My wife watched Garfield a tale of two kitties and could not take her eyes off the set. It blew her away. Attached a Blue Ray DVD with ease and Iron Man was amazing. Attached my wireless head phones and they worked without a hitch. We have been out of power three times but never had a problem with this TV when it came up. The bottom line is Samsung has produced one heck of a product and Amazon delivers as you would expect. Fred
