Samsung PN50A650

 

The 50-inch Samsung PN50A650 plasma delivers a pleasing 1080p picture at a good price.

Excellent HD video processing. Solid picture contrast. Swivel base stand.

Film mode not enabled by default. Plasmas consume more energy than their LCD counterparts.

PN50A650 Plasma TV. The new Series 6 Samsung PN50A650 with its Touch of the Color design is going to change your outlook towards the look of HDTV's. Added with a rich red hue into the otherwise standard black color, this huge 50” screen Plasma HDTV...

Samsung PN50A650 50" Plasma HDTV Review

 

Plasma technology is similar to old tube CRTs of the past, being that they need to charge “elements” that are within. With the LCD needing to have an external light source in the form of a fluorescent bulb in order to light up the liquid crystals, the...

Spectacular picture quality; Tons of picture quality options to tweak; Beautiful Touch of Color; ATSC tuner is great; Anti-reflective coating is good; Good amount of features like WiseLink and Info-Link; Swiveling stand; Independent picture settings...

Audio is decent; Switching video sources needs improving; Channel list shouldn’t be erased after scanning, just add new channels onto existing; Component video input; Anti-reflective coating doesn’t fully eliminate reflections in bright conditions; PIP...

There’s not much more I can say. The Samsung PN50A650 is something I would definitely purchase if I were on the market.

Samsung PN50A650 Review

 

In this review we are going to take a look at Samsung PN50A650 plasma TV. In terms of overall quality, Samsung PN50A650 is somewhere between Panasonic PZ800U/PZ850U series and PZ80U/PZ85U series (also from Panasonic). It is a plasma TV that doesn?t...

Great color accuracy ; Good value for money ; Plenty of picture controls. Useful only if you want to change the picture to suit your taste, since it offers very good quality out of the box (no need for calibration) ; Very good black levels. Not a match...

Not to great anti-glare screen. You get reflections if you have a bright room. Panasonic and Pioneer have much better anti-reflective screens ; Black levels inferior to Panasonic and Pioneer models (though better than the rest) ; The “red touch of...

Normally, I don’t consider the looks of a HDTV important enough to mention in a review. However, in the case of this model I must point out a few things. Samsung PN50A650, as well as all the models in A650 line, comes with a very distinctive design...

Totally Satisfied

 

I was in the electronics business for many years and can tell you I do alot of research before I make a final decision. I am totally satisfied.

TV features and picture quality are incredible. I have not seen a better price on this unit combined with 0% for a full year anywhere. My wife, who purchased the TV for me, was not sure that it would be woth the investment at first but now I cant pry...

Menu takes a little getting used to but eventually becomes user friendly

Newegg does it again!

 

If you get this TV delivered in the cold months and it has been sitting outside, make sure you let it warm up to room temp before starting it up. This was a little tip the dilivery guy shared with me.

This TV is great. The picture is really nice and the Toc is a neat touch. It is advised that you break this TV for 100Hrs. It is tough keeping the contrast around 50% because the picture becomes a little dark. Still worth the great deal from Newegg.

Great TV

 

This is a plasma. Make sure you break it in properly for the first 100 hours. At a minimum, keep the contrast below 50 and keep the picture mode off "Dynamic" for the first 100 hours. It is a little darker than you might like, but it really makes these...

Great looking picture, Blu-Ray looks insane on this TV. I'm using a Panasonic DMP-BD35 Blu-Ray player on it, and even upconverted DVDs look good. The "Touch of Color" looks very nice, almost like a piece of art, even though it might look cheesy on...

It's not a Pioneer. But in comparison, the main difference I really saw between the two was black levels and bragging rights. The Kuros just plain have the the darkest black levels of any TV.

SAMSUNG 50" 1080p Plasma TV PN50A650

 

This is an amazing TV. My first plasma - I already have an LCD. Excellent, vivid color in HD - even the digital channels come in looking very clear. No issues with a lighter room. I have been extremely happy with this TV. I didn't buy it thru Newegg as...

None so far.

Great tv! Except for shipping...

 

Shipping took a bit longer than I had expected, and when it did finally arrive, I had to bring the TV into my house by myself... Luckily, as I said earlier, its a very light television! Newegg's customer service was absolutely great and kept me posted...

The TV is amazing! Very light (about 130 pounds fully packed up, made it easy to move into the house, more on that later...), the color is better than I imagined, and the swivel base is a great feature which I use far more than I thought I would. The...

It is a fingerprint magnet! Speakers were a bit of a letdown, but I knew that from reading other Newegg reviews. Picture-in-picture doesnt allow you to use sources other than cable (coaxial) or over-the-air signals (who uses those anymore?). I was...
