[@Ren-ci5pn]

Woooo! Most recent comment. I found this tv on marketplace for free. I’d call it a win

[@EastAngliaUK]

Hi purl24's, Thanks for adding in your opinion and censoring your colorful language ;). We always like to hear from users about their experience with the product under review. Thanks for watching!

I bought one for christmas. Picture looks absolutely as good as any I've seen. Have had no problems and could not possibly be happier about my purchase. I got the tv and a sony suround sound system for just over a 1000 bucks.

[@bstewart63]

Ive had this TV for a year and a half and the picture quality is outstanding. The sound is a little weak but I dont use the internal speakers. At the store they had a Samsung 1080P 50 right next to this one. At 4 feet I could tell a difference in resolution but at 8 feet there was no discernable difference between the 1080 and 720 that I could see. The blacks are dark with a native 30000:1 contrast ratio. With 4 kids this TV is on more than its off and has held up fine so far.

[@fike301]

This guy is nuts, only a "trained eye" could tell the difference side by side with this 50" set. I have had this set for 3yrs, no complaints other than the speakers if turned up. Myself needed surround sound....happy. Very good picture

[@bricetheman2006]

I just brought this tv and the samsung surround sound at conn all for 2000. This is a very great tv!!!!

[@ceelos1020]

i watch alot of sports with my dad on his 720p and its an awsome picture!! nothing to be dissapointed about

[@purp24s]

Sorry for the language but I currently own one and it's amazing, especially when your watching football in HD

[@fike301]

This Samsung plasma is a great buy, if you can still find one...under a grand. Only cons is the sound/speakers(weak?)...which most people will use a surround system anyway. For those if you who need all the bells and gadgets, need to spend at least 5grand on a TV, and fell the need to know you have got 1080p which most could not pick out of a line up at over 5ft away....dont buy this model. Sorry I think its a great buy and like it give it 8/10

[@Quasifonix]

It's a great tv for the price with an outstanding picture. It's not the best compared to the pricier models but a massive step up from an SDTV. There is some bad ghosting of images but it is very temporary. Also beware of burn in! I listened to the Best Buy clown that told me that burn in doesn't happen anymore with plasmas and have gotten some permanent burn in from letterboxed movies and videogames. Make sure you adjust your picture settings to lessen this. I found out too late.

[@duggiebadd2804]

Had this exact model now for 2 years in my bedroom. The only problem ive ever had was moving it around cause its really heavy. Other than that great tv. Msrp was 1,600 I believe? Bought it for 200 bucks fairly new condition.

[@therealsarahmarshall]

I got this free and cannot figure out where the power button is the remote is not turning it on.. Help!

[@fike301]

Maybe its just me, watching standard HD on the Samsung compared next to a 1080p set sorry couldnt tell one from the other, guess it takes a trained eye.........? I also have read many reviews giving the Samsung better PQ ratings even over Panny entry level plasmas? Im still shopping but this is my likely pick, being the picture looks great even compared to some of the high dollar sets asking 4x the price.

[@fike301]

your exaclty right, standard HD is 720p and for the most part only a trained eye can pickout the 1080 at a distance over 5' with screens under 50" anyway. Seems to me an untrained eye would be able to see the motion blur, and inferior PQ in the LCD sets compared to any plasma?

[@fike301]

I challenge you to compare any lcd even a 120hz set next to an entry level plasma.... the plasma is the better picture always, not to mention lcd's blur effect, and glowing skin tone.

[@scolarship]

I have had this t.v. for over a year. Got it at a killer price. The guy doing the review from digital trends is very critical of this t.v. If you watch a great deal of over the air channels or non hd cable or have non hd sources, the t.v. struggles to show a sharp picture. I have and xbox 360 and the games look awsome. I also have an hd dvd ad on the the hd movies look awsome. This t.v. does 720p but will run at 1080p thru an xbox 360. Netflix hd also looks awsome!

[@Merl-co2nd]

Take this model from the dump two days ago. Needs to caps to repair the PSU board. I hope it's okay for 8€. :)

[@goonizumi6571]

found this tv on the side of the road with no cables just wanted to know how bad or good the tv was, and i think i got my answer its mediocre at best in that tier list of tv's.

[@goonizumi6571]

@L T nice

[@eerfan58]

on the 1080i vs. 720p vs. 1080p, no one seems to point out that none of the major networks broadcast in 1080p. So unless you are talking blu ray or some gaming systems 1080p is wasted.

[@GamerGuy51]

actually it was the pn50a510 which is missing the side inputs...saves me 400 dollars i dont care. best buy was selling it for 1199.99 minus 100 bucks off for install promo. so really it was 1100.00 plus tax...the day before the superbowl it was 1299.99...funny how that works

[@fike301]

To start with Samsung makes it very clear, only someone who cant read would miss that burn in is not covered under the waranty. Sorry not buying your motion blur set LCD. This plasma TV is very good buy, can find it for under 900 bucks, also has very good ratings by cnet, and my own eyes find the picture very good, even compared side by side to much higher priced plasmas......there is much reading on the net comparing plasma vs lcd - lcd screens have motion blur period, some worse than others.

[@snivellingjasonex]

where is the software update?

[@TreyPeyroux]

hey bro kids cracked the Plasma screen, now no picture, wussup wif dat, only had it one mth. Wat to do dude?

[@xsiddlex]

I am also looking for a big tv for gaming and I realy want this tv because of the price What dose ghost meen? plz

[@GamerGuy51]

haha i paid 950 plus tax a best buy for the 1080p version aka pn50a550!

[@yorksta86]

Still got one.

[@therealsarahmarshall]

I cannot for the life of me find the physical power button on this tv. The small icons on the front right do not depress and all I see is a red power light on front. Help Please!

[@christybarnby8741]

Mine is on the lower right hand side of the screen. Not buttons, but it's like a touch screen kinda.... should be the top button.

[@christybarnby8741]

Not on the screen but the plastic surrounding it

[@parrayasif3872]

@mogul1265 You actually begin to notice a difference as you get farther away!!

[@purp24s]

He's talking crap, I have this tv it's fu@king amazing. I LOVE IT

[@TangoCharlieAlpha]

Ok.....where's the "middle finger" emoji? This review was a joke.

[@flexor212000]

Why do people even talk about the audio from the TV? People who don't have a home theatre system of some kind (even a stereo speaker is better) don't give 2 craps about audio anyway.

[@maxbaby22]

How do you get internet with this TV ??😂😂😂 And how do you set up a firebox for the TV😂😂😂 ... How do you watch TV with the TV 😂😂😂😂😂

[@bubblesqc420]

That's wat i got a LCD better for games normal TV and all that. Doesn't cause a burn-in.

[@rrumlow]

I know this is an old review but this guy has this bassakwards... The sound is trash. but as far as picture goes this set is amazing. all of my friends that have hd sets even 1080 are amazed when they see this set. this is a super bargain especially now that you can get it around 8-900
