 Great TV October 3, 2008

After doing a lot of research and consulting with others who are videophiles, I landed on a couple of different choices:
1. This one (Samsung PN58A650)
2. Older version (Samsung PN58A550)
3. LCD version (Samsung LN52A650)
After reviewing all of these, I decided that I wanted a plasma because the picture just seemed to pop more, plus it is 58" vs 52".
And as for why I didn't get the older version, there was no real reason other than that it didn't cost too much more plus I like that Red Touch of Color!
Either way, they are all great buys but I particularly love mine
Performance for the price is incredible October 2, 2008

The flexiblity of the picture is incredible- the amount and quality of the adjustments you can make is truly staggering. I can't say enough about the quality of the picture once it's dialed in a bit, so much that I'll spend about 8% of the purchase price to get an ISF cal done once it's got a few hundred hours on it. What a vast improvement over my old HD RPTV.
There isn't much at all on the market that will give you this performance for the price. Check out AVSForum for more on that.
There are plenty of inputs, the USB allows firmware updates, supports 1080p60, and plenty of brightness. The TOC frame looks very slick, colored or no.
This was easily programmed via a Harmony 890 universal.
Excellent Picture and a great value September 16, 2008

Before purchasing Samsung PN58A650, I had checked out comparable models from Panasonic and Pioneer. Overall, Samsung had better features and a lower price. Picture quality was comparable to the best. I had also looked at 120Hz LCD. Overall, Plasma had far superior picture compared to LCD (Better contrast, vibrant colors and unlike LCD there was no pixeling)
I ordered the Samsung on Amazon. The price was good. It was at least $600 lower than the best price I could have got from a local retailer. Later, Amazon also matched the price drop on their website (within 1 month of shipping) and refunded the difference. I only had to send them an e-mail request and within 1 hour, the difference was credited back. Can't expect this from a big box retailer!
The only complaint I have is that- at the time of placing the order, Amazon confirmed that TV was in stock, but they did not ship it out for 5 days. Next, the shipper did not bother to call us to schedule delivery for another 3-4 days while the TV was received in their warehouse. Finally, I had to contact them through Amazon to arrange delivery. Apart from that, the white glove delivery was great as promised.
It took a few hours to get familiar with the menus and setup procedure. Samsung could have made the process easier by including the manual on a DVD. The picture quality is excellent. The TV looks very attractive with the touch of red bezel. Our TV is located right across from a large window. The reflection is not as bad. The TV can be swiveled on the stand to optimize the viewing angle. Overall, it is a great TV at a good price.
 Samsung 58 Plasma Touch of Red September 16, 2008

I am happy with the TV, Great picture and attrative set. Compared to other manufacturers, Samsung has the best picture in this price range and size. I bought the Samsung 52 inch LCD 120 hrtz Touch of Red and I was blown away by picture but had a problem with set in menu mode so I decided to jump up to 58 inch. A down side is plasma heat and power consumption, second the picture does blur alittle time to time trying keep up with poor analog TV signal. Garbage in Garbage out. With digital TV and or good DVD this set is just as good as 52 inch, Great Picture. I would give it 5 stars but all Samsung sets have so called PIP or PAP where you must go into menu to get PIP and you can not swap picture and must go into menu again for PIP sound, A real pain!!!!So as for useable PIP (Football Sunday) forgit it. It is a good idea to have power conditioner like panamax for this plasma set as well, it is sensative to power changes, makes the tube flash a bit. You will like this TV for the price on Amazon.
 BEWARE of Amazon Customer Service September 12, 2008

This is a great TV. I bought this TV from Amazon as they were offering a $200 rebate over Labor Day Weekend. I received an email from Amazon stating that Amazon had made a mistake in listing the rebate as cash. The actual rebate was for $200 in sports memoribillia. Amazon would not honor the cash rebate even though it was their mistake. If you buy from Amazon beware that they will not honor their own mistake.
