Samsung PN50A550
Highly accurate primary colors and color temperature ; clean, less-noisy picture ; above-average video processing ; oodles of picture controls and settings ; friendly, intuitive menu design ; handsome look
Subpar antireflective screen ; black levels not quite as deep as those of the best plasmas ; confusing picture mode arrangement
Accurate color and a clean image define the excellent picture quality of the Samsung PN50A550 50-inch plasma HDTV.
The mid-price 50-inch Samsung PN50A550 reviewed here provides a typical example of what plasma can do right. Home theater sticklers seeking the darkest black levels available will probably want to look at another plasma model, but for those whose...

Although CNET did not review the 58-inch Samsung PN58A550, we did review the 50-inch Samsung PN50A550. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Samsung plasma HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size, so we expect the picture quality of the ...

UltimateAVmag.com: Samsung PN50A550 Plasma TV
The Samsung PN50A550 is my favorite kind of product. This 50-inch, 1080p plasma TV sits one notch below the company's flagship model (the PN50A650), which means it has all the most important high-end features without a high-end price tag. Think of ...
Excellent blacks and shadow detail, Natural colors, Excellent video processing, Practically no solarization, Excellent value
Component input exhibits lots less horizontal detail than HDMI, Only one, side-mounted composite input
At the top of this review, I called the PN50A550 the flat-panel equivalent of a Honda Accord. Can you buy a better-performing vehicle? Of course, but you'd best be prepared to spend a whole lot more if you insist on owning the flat-panel equivalent of ...
