Looks great... but same buzzing problem
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I'm extremely disappointed. After reading every review I could find on this TV (and others) I finally settled on the PN50B860 here. I was aware some people were experiencing a buzzing noise, but read many more reviews of people who loved their TVs with no such problem. The TV arrived literally 2 hours ago, plugged it in, turned it on with the delivery guys here and it looked great. Th...

Incredible Picture!
I did a lot of research before I purchased a Samsung PN50B860. And I am totally pleased with the purchase! The picture is out of this world. I kept debating between the crisp picture of a quality LCD or the motion handling of a plasma. Because I like sports and action movies, I had pretty much decided on the PN50B550 when I saw the right price. But I went into the store and saw the PN50B860 right next to it, and could obviously see the difference. The picture was so crisp, but it had all t...

Samsung PN50B860 50" Plasma...Awesome
Well, I did not buy this TV from Amazon but found an authorized online retailer that had a fantastic price with free shipping. Let me tell you, I researched televisions for about three months straight. I had been debating between the Samsung LN52B750 LCD, which had a razor sharp picture and at the time was priced right. Aesthetically, it was a beautiful television in just about every way. My biggest hang up was that certain movies and shows looked too realistic (distracting) and not movie li...

This TV is a "buzz" kill
The good:
The new 2009 Samsung plasmas look incredible, have tons of features and options, handle 24p content properly and even have decent sounding speakers and the styling is top notch. However, they have one fatal flaw which brings us to...
The bad:
This TV buzzes constantly! It buzzes even when the volume is muted and connected to just the power outlet and nothing else. I own a PN50B860 and I can't even watch it anymore because the buzzing noises it emits ...

About the buzzing.
This review is simply to clear up the "buzzing" some people are experiencing. I do not own this TV but in my line of work I see the 850 version everyday. So I can at least attest to the picture quality, & it is amazing. Both the 850 & 860 have the exact same specs and features except for two things. The 860 has the Cinema Smooth feature, which the 850 does not, as well as a cooling fan. This cooling fan is the buzzing many have been mentioning. The fan only kicks in when the TV begins to heat up...

Great tv....if only it was silent!
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I'm not going to go into full detail on what I think of this tv, I'll just say that what most people say about the set as far as picture quality and the nice sleek, thin look are completely accurate. Its a great tv, it just happens that I got one of the buzzing sets.
Someone posted and will try to tell you that the buzz is normal plasma buzz, and that is completely false. Do a ...

I also have the buzzing issue... :(
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I received this TV last week and have a buzzing sound issue like other reviewers are experiencing. It's coming from the screen itself not the speakers. I removed all inputs (HDMI, ethernet, etc.) still has buzzing sound. Updated the firmware, still no luck. Looks like quite a few owners are experiencing this. Look in [...] for other buzzing reports. I'm getting a replacement from Ama...

Great TV.
This TV is utterly beautiful.... that really is all I need to say but I will continue.
First off, if you want a large TV to hang on a wall, this is a great choice as it is only 55 pounds or so for a plasma and only about an inch thick. However, going past that, the picture quality is beautiful, with rich colors and high contrast. It is very bright but with no washout. I bought this at a best buy and was blown away at the comparison between this tv and Samsung LEDs and the 240hz LCDs, ...

Great Picture, Mediocre Quality, Mixed Feelings
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) Let me start off my review by addressing the buzzing that is associated with this (and all 2009 "B" series) Samsung plasmas. Amazon currently (10/13/09) has this item under review, and is not shipping any new units because of multiple customer complaints. The notice claims that there may be a problem with their inventory, but I believe Amazon will discover the problem is not limited to ...

Great Plasma, Very Slight Buzzing
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I looked for over a year for a flat screen television and kept up on all posts and reviews. I ended up with the PN50B860 after looking at Panasonic Plasmas and Samsung Plasmas, LCD's and the new LED's. I finally choose this one for its thinness and picture quality, as I needed good off angle viewing. The LCD wasn't quite there with off angle and the new LED's were awful.
