Remarkably low price ; gorgeous looks ; connections galore ; generally very good picture quality

Sporadic noise on standard definition pictures ; no 1080p support ; a couple of features actually reduce the image quality

Not very long ago, the only 42-inch plasma TV you could find for under a grand would be something awful from a C-list brand. But the groundbreaking Samsung PS42Q97HDX ushers in a brave new age where we can now expect a model for a little less than ...

Samsung PS50Q97HD

By Ian Morris (cnet.co.uk)

The 50-inch Samsung PS50Q97HD is a massive HD Ready TV that will be a huge feature in any living room. Its quick refresh time makes it ideal for viewing sport and for gaming, and its Freeview picture is excellent for its size

Size ; three HDMI sockets ; Freeview and HD quality

Picture noise ; only HDMI 1.3 ; not 1080p

Samsung's PS50Q97HD is a good buy if you want the maximum visual impact for your money. The picture isn't perfect, but it does redeem itself with better than average Freeview performance

If you like your TV big, then you'll be thrilled by the 50-inch Q97 from...

By (trustedreviews.com)

Fifty inches of decent quality for less than 900! We'd get in there quick!

Samsung's PS50Q97HDX doesn't quite manage to scale the same performance heights as models from current plasma champs Panasonic and, especially, Pioneer. But what it certainly does do is redefine the sort of size and quality you can expect to find for ...

It's simply a 50in plasma model from the Korean brand's current flat TV range...

By jennikitten (dooyoo.co.uk)

This TV is definitely a talking point, and usually the first thing people comment on when they enter my house. It has excellent picture quality, and several useful features even for those who don't know much about TV technology (like me!). For example, yo...

Easy to use and maintain

One design flaw, and is slowly becoming outdated with constant new technology

Is your viewing pleasure with SAMSUNG???

By lea20 (ciao.co.uk)

...over by this 42 inch Samsung model. The TV has tonnes of inputs including VGA and when we connected the PC to it, it displayed clearly but the fact that it was at 1024 x 768 meant that the picture appeared 'squashed'- however adjusting the resolution t...

Good picture, large screen, tonnes of inputs

Could have a bigger refresh rate, slight motion blur
