simply sucks it`s not even 2 years since I bought this tv and it already started crapping out on me, I have been seeing blue patches, pixels moving back and forth on the side of the screen (not a burn in. the patches are moving) definitely killing all the fun and enjoyment. now samsung would charge me $100 bucks just to come and take a look at it, and the technician over the phone said he thinks it could be a defective Plasma screen and would probably be have to replaced with a new one which would cost me a ...

Read this review if you play video games I bought this TV in January and loved it. Eventually I noticed a flickering problem where the screen brightness would flicker up and down. Read about it on the AVS forums and got it fixed through Samsung support. Then I noticed the image retention. If you play any xbox 360 games or watch tv in 4:3 with sidebars it will show up. You can run the screen burn in program that will eventually wipe it off but it always comes back next time you play. Ever play GTA4? See that radar in the bottom l...

A good TV but not very energy efficient This is a good TV--and I am happy with the impressive picture quality and color depiction for this relatively "simple" model in this price range. It is also very nice looking as a piece of furniture. However, I'd like to warn any potential customer that the unit spends a lot of electricity; my power consuption went up quite significantly upon switching from a 42" LCD to this one. For one thing, the unit gets VERY HOT after leaving it on for a few minutes--I suppose heat is a nece...

Great picture until you get screen burn-in I use this TV for my baby to watch Noggin which isn't HD. After a few weeks of use the Noggin channel logo and side black bars burned into the screen. I tried using the burn-in removal feature (Samsung recommends running it for 1+ hour )which only helps about %30. I guess this is one of the biggest draw back of plasma TVs. Totally unacceptable. This was my first plasma and will probably be my last.

satisfied Amazon was a very good company to deal with, no problems and no hassels. The TV has been great, and I am very satisfied with the whole transaction.

Great TV with a few caveats This was my first HDTV purchase. As such I did weeks of research reading every review I could find and poring over forums. In the end I found that this was one of the best picture quality/price combos you can find.
I used a DVE DVD to calibrate the picture (just the basic brightness and contrast, no color calibration yet). Overall I found most of the opinions I read to be right on. Always use the Movie mode with "Warm2". I could see possibly moving up to Warm1 or normal but I trust...

Great TV! Awesome Picture! Occasional HDMI audio drop I've had this TV for a while now and have been very happy. It's great having all of the input options. I have experienced the occasional audio dropout when using HDMI as others have referenced, but I know only use the HDMI for video processing and route the audio through a receiver so problem solved for me!

GREAT TV FOR THE MONEY THIS TV IS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS IN HD. I CAN'T SAY MUCH ABOUT REGULAR DIGITAL TV STATIONS, I DON'T THINK THEY LOOK TOO GREAT. BUT, THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE HD LOOK ALL THE BETTER ON THIS TV. THE MENUS ARE A CINCH TO NAVIGATE AND I LOVE THE SLEEK BLACK CASING THE TV IS IN. THE SOUND ON THE OTHER HAND IS NOTHING TO BRAG ABOUT ALTHOUGH I HAVE MINE HOOKED UP TO SORROUND SOUND, SO NO PROBLEM THERE. GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY

Big and cheap but has image retention I had a Hitachi plasma prior to this that never had burn-in or image retention problems, ever. So needless to say I was not worried about this when buying a plasma. I figured the technolgy would be the same because I bought the Hitachi almost 2 years ago. Know I understand what image retention really is. It retains images pretty quickly, I thought this would go away after the "break-in", but it still does it. If you do the scrolling screen burn in feature it goes away. It is a big TV and ...
