Samsung PN50B550 Review – 50-inch Plasma HDTV

 

This is indeed a classy TV from Samsung with all the innovative features. It has a very attractive look characterized by the E-panel with Filter Bright antiglare technology. Because of this technology, the glare is much lessened and you can keep it...

There is a WiseLink 2.0 USB port for playing MP3 and displaying JPEG files. The connectivity options are further given a boost by the addition of 4 HDMI. You can connect a host of high definition devices like gaming consoles, camcorders and Blu-ray...

Samsung PN50B550 Plasma 1080p HDTV

 

Today we are taking a look at another HDTV from Samsung, but this time we have a Plasma unit on our bench and in the living room. This is the first Plasma I've looked at from Samsung and I think it will be interesting to see how it compares in terms of...

600 Hz Subfield for smooth fast action ; Good contrast ratio - blacks are black ; Lots of inputs ; Vivid picture

Sound quality not as good as the LN40A650 ; Color boosted to unrealistic levels by default ; Computer connected text is a bit fuzzy

After using the 50" Plasma from Samsung for almost a month, I've got to say that the 50" is a great size. Even my parents came over and watched some TV on this unit and were impressed - so impressed that they went out and purchased one for themselves....

Samsung PN50B550

 

A rare shot from The Fifth Element showing off excellent contrast from the incoming light and yet with great color and flesh tones in the foreground

One slight drawback would be watching dark content in a brightly lit room

Great Picture

 

Shipping was fast and free, and the transaction has been as simple as can be. I never knew that I was missing out on anything by keeping my 27" Trinitron for so long, until I bought an AppleTV and couldn't hook it up to my old (but still perfectly...

Excellent picture. I am so glad I bought this TV, and so glad I stayed away from LCD. The picture quality is better with plasma and the action is absolutely outstanding. I don't know how I ever survived TV/movies/NASCAR without this TV

None. Period

Awesome Plasma!

 

I honestly can't say enough about the quality of the picture you get with this tv. Even with the brightness and contrast turned down(to aid in the longevity of the display) you get a wonderfully crisp picture. While it may not be a top of the line...

Great TV

 

Have had this for about 1 month now and am very happy with it. Arrived with no problems, no dead pixels or anything like that. Picture quality is fantastic. Everything is smooth and I haven't noticed any oddities in the picture during fast action or...

Not the greatest sound quality, but since I don't use the TV's speakers, that doesn't really matter. Worth noting, I don't think I've heard speakers on ANY flat screen TV that I liked. Maybe I'm just too picky about that

Amazing!

 

This is Plasma is amazing, ordered it, came here with no dead pixels. The picture is absolutely amazing and crisp. For about 1k w/ free shipping, your getting a 50' Plasma! Just think about it, even a year ago, these TV's were going for 2K+ easily

That it doesn't cook me breakfast

Samsung

 

Wish it came with a remote you could program other components to. Like a universal remote.

Perfect picture, many settings to fine tune to your version of perfect picture. Attractive appearance. SUPER FAST DELIVERY

Very heavy. Otherwise there is nothing to complain about

SAMSUNG 50" 1080p 600Hz Plasma HDTV PN50B550

 

I have a small child, and the TV not having buttons is VERY nice. Also, everyone complains about the speakers, but they're fine for a regular room. I have this in my living room, and it's my "main TV" and it's perfectly fine. I actually have never had...

VERY nice quality. Solid TV, solid stand, not flimsy at all. I like that there are no buttons on the TV itself. The "buttons" are touch-pad buttons. Beautiful picture, especially with everything on HDMI

Little on the heavy side, but can't really complain
