Samsung PN60E550

 

Panasonic and Samsung plasma TVs have run very close in our comparisons this year, with a slight advantage in picture quality going to team Panasonic, and a slight features advantage to camp Samsung. That's again the case in the midrange category,...

The Samsung PNE550 plasma TV is an excellent value for this level of performance and features. Its picture quality is anchored by solid black levels, accurate color, and perfect off-angle viewing and uniformity. It boasts the industry's most capable...

The image of the Samsung PNE550 washes out significantly in normal room lighting. It can't match the black-level performance of the best like-priced plasmas. Its 3D performance is mediocre and the glasses feel cheap. The PNE550 also uses significantly...

While not quite the best in its class, the Samsung PNE550 plasma still merits a look with its very good picture quality, sophisticated Smart TV platform, and attractive price.

"Great TV, Awesome Value"

 

I replaced a 5 year old 40" Samsung LCD 720p which, at the time, was viewed as a very good set and had a price to match. I researched extensively for months and decided to go with plasma this time, because I can control the lighting in my family room...

Poor Quality no Service

 

Display looks good when it works

I have a 67" Samsung DLP TV that cost $2500. After warranty expired ( a very short 1 year) the TV developed white spots due to the failure of the DLP chip. Despite an overwhelming number of customers with the same problem Samsung refuses to address the...

Great but not perfect

 

This TV was a major up-grade from our old 34", none HD picture tube. Mostly we are very pleased with it. The picture is sharp, clear, and stunning. A superb picture. Unfortunately, the sound quality is between average and good. I really expected higher...

Picture quality, 3-D, Easy to work remote

Sound quality is harsh at times. Especially on the higher frequencies. It also needs more RCA/analog inputs

Great TV could not ask for much more

 

I got this TV and loved it straight out the box. It replaced a 42” HD DLP Samsung so this was quite the step up. The 3D movies are cool on it and the picture quality is superb. I know the picture will only get better as I calibrate it a little more but...

The size and features at this price

Nothing that I can really point out

Coming out of the box the picture, without any extra setting or calibration, looks good. Black tones are awesome. Do not expect a miracle from tv speakers so if you want to enjoy HD sound or surround you have to invest some extra money to buy a...

Great picture, excellent features and easy set up. Good sound for a tv

Can't complain
