Great Picture...loud buzz.
This is a great TV that has fantastic picture quality. However, there is a moderately loud buzz that comes from the power units behind the panel. At first it didn't bother me that much. But over time it became increasingly noticeable and annoying. I called Amazon and told them that I'd like to return it. Before I could, they asked if I would have Samsung take a look at it. Not only did Samsung look it...they actually replaced the entire plasma panel (which includes the power units). Unfor...

Best Buy
I just got the Samsung PN58B550. I've had the TV now for about 3 days and so far I am very pleased with my purchase. Blacks levels are very good. Remote and menu is fairly easy to use. There's no professional reviews out there right now only because the set was released in January of this year. As a result I was a little concerned about buying this set. I'm hoping the reviews will be favorable. How different could this unit be compared to the top rated PN58A550?
The only negative is ...

Just not as good as expected BUT
Hi well I do have some good things to say, but I don't have a lot of good things to say.....yet First let me say this is my third big screen purchase, and my second Samsung (none this big, 50 inch lcd for my father was tops). I am certainly no expert as seen on cnet, but I do consider myself somewhat knowledgable, and pretty much a self taught guy.
Delivery was terrific, I cannot say enough. I bought this from Onecall(2099) on a Monday Morning and was told 7-10 days (free delivery)th...

Looks Great!
At first I was a little concerned when my reds and greens were too strong. I calibrated my screen and kept the black level off, and it cleared everything up. The HD channels look incredible and the 480i analog channels look great too.
The 58" size is the perfect size for our basement, not too big or too small. I can't imagine having a tv bigger than this.
This is an awesome tv and a great value.

What's great about it: Easy to set up, lowest price for this size of plasma
What's not so great: Still trying to find something
"After going through all the huge Christmas sales and not pulling the trigger on a TV I thought for sure I wouldn't find another great deal until the next holiday sale. Thank god Samsung came out at such a great price point on this television. I bought it on sale for $1999. LCDs don't come in the 58" plus variety anywhere near this price. I ...

Samsung PN58B540
I orginally went to Sams and purchased the A610, 52" LCD, brought is home and it was just to small after I had a 55" Sony for the last 4 years. Went back and traded up for this one. The price was terrific at 1,898.00 for 58" of pure plasma joy. The is my first plasma, I just upgraded from a 55" Sony LCD that had an optical block go bad. Anyway back to the review. brought it home and plugged it in to my directtv (no HD package), and the picture is good. I went out and bought an HDTV antenna f...

Amazing TV, Amazing Value
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: TV arrived in perfect, new condition with not so much of a scratch on the box. Ordered Wednesday, received Friday..a week ahead of NewEgg's estimate. The picture quality is amazing. Very hard for the trained eye and nearly impossible for the untrained eye to see a difference in quality between this Series 5 Samsung and its more expensive Series 7 and 8 counter ...

What's great about it: Gorgeous picture, easy to set up, easy access to inputs
What's not so great: Sound is so-so
"After years of waiting and watching the price of flat-panel TV's go down, and much online research, I finally purchased my first flat-panel television. Before making my purchase, I first had to figure out which way to go, plasma or LCD. I had heard that plasmas had a short life-span and were extremely delicate which made mounting them or moving them dif...

Awesome picture, but very loud buzz: will return
Previously, I had purchased a 52" Samsung LCD (the 650 model), but ended up returning that because - even though everything else rocked - fast motion on the set was unacceptably bad and SD programming looked *really* bad, so much so that I was able to make a good case for the TV being defective.
After a bit of research, I found out that I'd made a mistake purchasing an LCD at all: for a given picture size and a normally-illuminated room, a plasma TV will deliver a better picture for a...

Love it!
Hands down, this is the best for your money. I spent several months and many trips to Best Buy and other electronics stores to preview different selections. I've had a lot of luck with my previous Samsung purchases (42" LCD, washer and dryer). I read the Consumer Reports review, which gave it the top review for it's category. After putting on The Dark Knight and was blown away. For the price, there is nothing better.
