Samsung PN58B550 Plasma HDTV First Impressions Review - Intro

The PN58B550 is a member of Samsung's 5 series of plasma HDTVs, which are near the bottom end of Samsung's 2009 range of plasmas, both in terms of features and price. Based around the same plasma panel as last year's model, this 58-incher is also...

The PN58B550 is at the bottom of the scale in terms of features, but this is also likely to be reflected in price. We don't have any details on pricing yet, but it is likely to be significantly cheaper than the Series 7 and 8 plasma models that Samsung...

Samsung PN58B550

At around $1999 or $2000 whichever way you look at it, this TV is a superb value! Amazing how that one dollar makes it look so much less expensive. This TV has a top notch picture quality with excellent black levels and contrast. Colors are vibrant and...

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

Broken, Twice

I ordered this television and received it damaged (the screen was completely cracked, top-to-bottom and side-to-side). I filed a claim with Newegg and a replacement was sent the next business day. The replacement arrived broken just like the first. In...

Eggsellent Samsung Plasma

Plasma or LCD? Pretty much sums it up in that simple phrase. The hand-ringing that went into deciding if I should take the plasma plunge or stay with what I knew was very difficult to come to terms with. For all those on the fence between plasma and...

People use the qualifier "for the price" a great picture or good features, but I say nay to the qualifier. This is a hands-down great television with such depth and breadth to its menu options, that it can easily go toe to toe with the 650 or dare I...

None Really (Still Early Though) ; Some people noted a "buzzing" sound when the set is turned on. Yes, this set does have a noise to it... BUT... unless (1) you listen to your tv on volume 3, you will not hear it at all. And if you do not have this...

What are you waiting for...buy it NOW!!

I would only be happier with this TV if it cleaned my house, let my dog out and made my dinner.

Did my homework and decided to go plasma over lcd or led since we're not huge gamers. After looking at some other plasmas and reading some reviews/info I decided to snatch this beauty and I'm glad I did ; Super fast delivery by the egg. TV showed up...

Sound is adequate but you don't by a TV this big without having surround sound, right ; Like many other plasmas there is a slight buzz when the sound is muted or very low but you really can't hear it with normal TV sounds. Not a con to this model but...

Picture is amazing. Tons of features. For the price and size you cannot beat this tv. This is also my PC Monitor and i have images up there for hours at a time and there is zero ghosting or burn in. Everyone should buy this tv
