 Great Picture Jun 24, 2010
I am a huge Samsung fan, this is my 3rd one in my house. The price is always competitive, but the quality seems to exceed the other brands I've had. This is an awesome TV. We have it in our living room about 15 feet away, still feels like a movie screen. It's a bit of a shock to get it out of the box and my neighbor had to help me lift it up on a tv stand.
The picture is fantastic, full 1080P and the 600hz refresh (60 hz actual, then dynamically accelerated) is great. No motion blur on sports, nice deep blacks when watching movies. I do not have a received, but with this TV it's not really necessary. 4 HDMI inputs are enough for all my gadgets, and it has digital sound output so I could use it with my stereo easily.
This was the easiest purchase I've made on amazon. TV does not have a very loud buzzing to me. I do hear a hum when it's not engaged on an input, but watching tv at normal level volume is fine, no buzz sound. I think if you place the magnet cores supplied on the cables, this does help. I'm going to get a Monster power conditioner for all my components anyhow, this should help alleviate the noise on the electrical lines.
Happy viewing, this TV is amazing for games, blu-ray, and regular HD TV viewing.
Plasma Rule's May 14, 2010
Ok everyone needs to understand there is no perfect HD technology, but this one comes close. I have owned all of the different technologies and for picture clarity and refresh rate, Samsung's plasma rules. Yes there is a slight "plasma hum" but if you understand the physics' of plasma you know it is unavoidable without a huge chassis and with any volume above ambient home noise it is negligible. Yes plasma will always use more power than LED, LCD, or projectors, however for pure visual enjoyment these things are unbeatable. Shipping from 6ave was reliable and the contracted shipper was great in our case. Very happy after just a week of ownership!
Sanding TV May 09, 2010
Very very nice for the price..... Best Buy had the same TV for 400 more. With Amazon I got it 400 cheaper and free home delivery.
Samsung Flat Screen Apr 12, 2010
Best set I have ever owned. The 1920 X 1080 resolution feels like I can put my hand right into the screen, and the swivel make viewing from another room extremely convenient. I highly recommend the product.

Very Pleased Mar 31, 2010
We had to replace a Vizio 50 inch plasma. I wanted to step up the size, so I read a lot of reviews for different brands, and for plasma vs LCD/LED sets. I've always been happy with my plasma set, and after seeing lots of LCD sets in stores, the jutter really bothered me, even on the newest sets with the highest refresh rates. So I decided to stick with plasma.
Amazon had a good deal on the Samsung PN58B550 so we pulled the trigger. We were going to be out of town for a few days, so we scheduled delivery in about a week and a half. the delivery was great. Two men brought it in the house, out of the box and set up where we wanted. Hooked it up and plugged it in to make sure everything was working OK.
I had seen some reviews that thought the swivel base on these was weak, but I was impressed with how solid ours was. We hung it on the wall, so aren't using the base, but if it seems weak or loose, first thing I'd do is tighten all the mounting screws on the backside.
We've been running the set for about a month now. The picture is outstanding, pretty much right out of the box. We are on satellite, so we only use the 1080 when we watch Blu-rays, but it's great for all our regular tv viewing. I think the sound on this set is great, I haven't even hooked up the surround sound yet. The remote is nice, but we mostly use the satellite receiver remote. I've run the scrolling feature a couple times, to prevent burn in, and have not noticed any problem with that issue
I give this TV great marks overall for picture, sound, and appearance. Sports and fast action scenes are flawless! And it's a big sucker!

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
