The best 50 inch plasma at the best price I sent a month reading reviews and in circuit city and best buy looking at plasmas. The samsung had the best picture and best setup. Amazon had the best price--shipping included and no sales tax--beat CC by $800. Ordered on a Wend and had it in one week. Shipping service was phenomenal. Not one problem. Had the set set-up and on in an hour and haven't left the couch since. Samsung and Amazon both get 5 stars!

Bang for the buck is definitely with this one I bought this model in June from a local appliance store. I did lots of shopping... well over 4 weeks of going to stores and playing with the settings in a lot of them; and there are a couple of issues to be aware of. One is that when you are using the 4:3 mode on the TV to view 4:3 content the sidebars are silver... which is annoying and cant be changed... HOWEVER, if you use an HD-upconverter type DVD player with HDMI that goes away since aspect is changed by the DVD player. The other issue...

The best plasma! Just make sure you have all the right stuff Excellent TV! After doing a lot of research and comparison I decided to go with Samsung 5053 model and I'm really happy with my decision.
No buzzing sound of any kind. My TV was made on 10/2006 on Mexico. I think the major mistake people do is not buying extra stuff that are really necessary.
First, if you spend $2000+ on TV, please invest a little more into HDMI cable (can be bought for $15, and there is no need for Monster HDMI brand that cost $90+).
I compared them (Monster ...

Superior Picture Quality at an Amazing Value!! After spending much time reading reviews and spending hours at the local Magnolia home theater center seeing the displays for myself and playing with the different picture settings and functions, I finally decided on the Samsung HP-S5053 over the Pioneer PDP-5070HD and Panasonic TH-50PX600u. My decision was based primarily on Picture Quality and overall value of the display.
Picture quality on the s5030 is simply amazing and in my opinion better than the Panasonic 50px600u and the P...

Very good plasma TV for the money After shopping for several months I finally took the plunge and purchased this TV from a national chain. I finally decided plasma over DLP because of the vertical fading effect I saw with all the DLP sets. I took two of my own DVDs in to the store with me and made the staff there hook up a player so I could see both the fast action of The Matrix and the beautiful scenery of Spring, Summmer, Fall, Winter, Spring. The picture on the Samsung HP-S5053 was the second best of the many plasmas that I...

Be aware of the BUZZ problem Have read all the reviews on avs forum and amazon about the buzz problem on this set, I still decided that I was gonna take the odds. It has been 3 months since the problem was first reported and I thought Samsung should have come aware of it and fixed the problem.
Well, SO I THOUGHT. There is NO luck on my part! The set buzzes out of the box. You can hear the buzz sound over 10 ft away when there is no dialog or you put the TV on mute. The set was manufatured Nov in Mexico so even the ...

Another defective unit-replace after multiple calls I rolled a dice and ordered one few weeks ago. I was hoping I won't get a defective unit reported here and at avsforum. Well, I had no such luck. I immediatelly noticed a buzzing sound coming from the back of the unit last week when it was delivered. I called Samsung right away and was put on hold for second level support. The second level tech (Chris) asked to put the phone over it so he could hear it himself. Then he proceed to tell me he could not hear anything therefore there is nothin...

Defective, right out of the box I turned it on right after the delivery guy unpacked it. Loud buzzing noise comes from the back when I switch the power on. Amazon directed me to call Samsung first. I called them and they proceeded to tell me that the noise was normal but i would not take any of that. I had them send out a repair person who dismantled the television and told me that I will be getting a replacement unit. He said that the unit is irrepairable because defect is in the way the plasma panel is bound to the aluminum ...

Don't buy large TV from Amazon Received HP-S5053 TV yesterday, turned on last night. A very loud buzzing noise came out from the back of TV, I can hear from every corner in the house. The character on the screen seems vibrate with the noise. I called Amazon, "No return or exchange, call Samsung". I guess Amazon lower its price to attract buyer and at the same time getting a lower cost from Samsung by shipping a defect TV to buyer. What a business practice from Amazon. *&#*
