Customer Reviews

Outstanding TV, excellent delivery from Amazon: After looking at various Plasma sets over the past few months, and unable to make a decision, the latest Consumer Reports review of various sets made my mind up. This model was ranked a CR best buy, and is it ever!

I have also owned previous Samsung models FP-T5084 (2007 model)plasma 1080P [I provided a review for this on Amazon as well], HP-5053 (2006 model) plasma 720P. and the LN-S4095 (2006 model) 1080P LCD. So yes I would consider myself a Samsung Fanboy. So I bought this model twice for a reason I will explain later in the review.

I found the Samsung PN50A550 had among the best video, unless you want to spend several grand more on higher… More reviews
