 Great bang for the buck! Mar 11, 2010
After having an old Dell 50in plasma (5yrs old) that bombed out on me and , weighing the cost of parts (and the lack thereof)for repair to decreasing prices of flat screen technology,well,decided it was time to go shopping. After a couple of months of research-spec, review and viewing comparisons of various screens( and hemming and haw-ing)-decided to take the leap with the Sammy PN58b550-and have had it for 2 weeks at this writing. Was truly concerned about reviews reading the "riot report" of the nefarious buzz-happy to report here have none such coming from this set(manufacture date 12/09). This may have been a defect in earlier runs( though I do see some posting here who made purchases after 2009 and report a buzz-I'd be curious of set's manufacture date). Also some have attributed this buzz to sets operating at higher altitudes (elevations)-I sit at about 700 ft. and no buzz-how high is TOO high?
About the set-wonderful! Had looked at its higher end brethren (600 & 800 series) but found I didn't need ,nor would fully utilise -all the bells and whistles offered (widgets-wireless connectivity,ect). Have a laptop for that and couldn't justify spending $500 or more for the toys. And unless you're a deep videophile ,doubt you'd notice any discernible difference in pic quality. As previously noted by others here-blacks are deep,colors are vivid,no IR, smooth motion and a very user friendly menu.Also the set itself is visually pleasing,glass-like frame which begs for wall mounting(which mine is). For my family, this set was the best "bang for the buck" out there-recommended......
VALUE Mar 09, 2010
A great product at a great price, (although I see it is now even $100.00 less than when I bought it a month ago Amazon should review there low price policy and reimburse me the difference, within 30 days.) Back to the TV, just buy one at this price you will not find a better value on a 58' Plasma. Great picture but is better without many windows in the room as reflection is still an issue compard to LCD's.
BEST PICTURE EVER Mar 06, 2010
I have several LCD tv's in my home and this PLASMA is by far the best. On the LCD tv's I occasionaly experience small boxes and blurr during fast moving scenes even with the 120hz. The picture on this PN58B550 is incredible, colors are natural and are realistic and there is no blurr or boxes on the screen during fast moving scenes. As for the size its perfect, and its not as heavy as the plasmas use to be. The speakers produce very acceptable sound. All in all this is a fantastic tv. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Outstanding product Mar 04, 2010
After many weeks of research I selected the Samsung based on its technical reviews. I have not been disappointed. I spent time at stores comparing a number of brands and models. I noticed whenever I selected the TV I thought had the best picture quality, it was always a Samsung. As to the size, I thought I would buy a 50 inch. But, when the price dropped on the 58 inch, it was too good to pass up. It's a beautiful set and performs as advertised. The picture quality is incredible.
One of the 3 technical review sites I used while researching was Plasma TV Buying Guide [...]. The nice thing about this site is it had recommended picture settings for this TV. Although the picture looked good right out of the box, I did use their recommendations and the picture quality was even better. Using the setup menu and adjusting the settings was simple. In fact, one of the comments in a few of the reviews was Samsung got high marks for providing a comprehensive level of picture quality control.
The Amazon purchasing process was also excellent - it came with free shippoing; 3 years of no interest financing; arrived as promised; and the delivery guys carried it in, unboxed it and set it up on the TV stand. Later, I added my home theatre system and the connections to the TV were well marked, color coded, and intuitive. Set up was easy. The user manual is very easy to read and understand.
Overall, this was an excellent experience, and we are very pleased with the TV. Thank you Amazon.

Great TV...buzz was explained by best buy Mar 03, 2010
I spent weeks as well looking at this tv, other lcd's and of course the led's. Decided on this tv because the deal is just too good for what you get. LED technology has not been perfected yet and for the price, I figured I could wait several years before purchasing an LED.
Before purchasing the PN58B550, I asked the best buy associate about the reported buzzing noises people have been hearing. She informed me that buzzing can occur in locations at higher elevations, but where I live, there should be no noise. I do not know if the people reporting the buzzing happen to live at higher elevations, but she seemed fairly sincere with her answer. I have not heard any buzzing and it has been several weeks since I purchased the TV.

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.
