Samsung PN58B550 58-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV Review

I am a huge Samsung fan, this is my 3rd one in my house. The price is always competitive, but the quality seems to exceed the other brands I've had. This is an awesome TV. We have it in our living room about 15 feet away, still feels like a movie screen. It's a bit of a shock to get it out of the box and my neighbor had to help me lift it up on a tv stand.

The picture is fantastic, full 1080P and the 600hz refresh (60 hz actual, then dynamically accelerated) is great. No motion blur on sports, nice deep blacks when watching movies. I do not have a received, but with this TV it's not really necessary. 4 HDMI inputs are enough for all my gadgets, and it has digital sound output so I could use it with my stereo easily.

This was the easiest purchase I've made on amazon. TV does not have a very loud buzzing to me. I do hear a hum when it's not engaged on an input, but watching tv at normal level volume is fine, no buzz sound. I think if you place the magnet cores supplied on the cables, this does help. I'm going to get a Monster power conditioner for all my components anyhow, this should help alleviate the noise on the electrical lines.

Happy viewing, this TV is amazing for games, blu-ray, and regular HD TV viewing.
