 VALUE March 9, 2010
T. Sonday (Madison,Wi.)
A great product at a great price, (although I see it is now even $100.00 less than when I bought it a month ago Amazon should review there low price policy and reimburse me the difference, within 30 days.) Back to the TV, just buy one at this price you will not find a better value on a 58' Plasma. Great picture but is better without many windows in the room as reflection is still an issue compard to LCD's.
BEST PICTURE EVER March 6, 2010
Richie"Bananas" (USA)
I have several LCD tv's in my home and this PLASMA is by far the best. On the LCD tv's I occasionaly experience small boxes and blurr during fast moving scenes even with the 120hz. The picture on this PN58B550 is incredible, colors are natural and are realistic and there is no blurr or boxes on the screen during fast moving scenes. As for the size its perfect, and its not as heavy as the plasmas use to be. The speakers produce very acceptable sound. All in all this is a fantastic tv. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Outstanding product March 4, 2010

After many weeks of research I selected the Samsung based on its technical reviews. I have not been disappointed. I spent time at stores comparing a number of brands and models. I noticed whenever I selected the TV I thought had the best picture quality, it was always a Samsung. As to the size, I thought I would buy a 50 inch. But, when the price dropped on the 58 inch, it was too good to pass up. It's a beautiful set and performs as advertised. The picture quality is incredible.
One of the 3 technical review sites I used while researching was Plasma TV Buying Guide [...]. The nice thing about this site is it had recommended picture settings for this TV. Although the picture looked good right out of the box, I did use their recommendations and the picture quality was even better. Using the setup menu and adjusting the settings was simple. In fact, one of the comments in a few of the reviews was Samsung got high marks for providing a comprehensive level of picture quality control.
The Amazon purchasing process was also excellent - it came with free shippoing; 3 years of no interest financing; arrived as promised; and the delivery guys carried it in, unboxed it and set it up on the TV stand. Later, I added my home theatre system and the connections to the TV were well marked, color coded, and intuitive. Set up was easy. The user manual is very easy to read and understand.
Overall, this was an excellent experience, and we are very pleased with the TV. Thank you Amazon.
Great TV...buzz was explained by best buy March 3, 2010

I spent weeks as well looking at this tv, other lcd's and of course the led's. Decided on this tv because the deal is just too good for what you get. LED technology has not been perfected yet and for the price, I figured I could wait several years before purchasing an LED.
Before purchasing the PN58B550, I asked the best buy associate about the reported buzzing noises people have been hearing. She informed me that buzzing can occur in locations at higher elevations, but where I live, there should be no noise. I do not know if the people reporting the buzzing happen to live at higher elevations, but she seemed fairly sincere with her answer. I have not heard any buzzing and it has been several weeks since I purchased the TV.
 Great Plasma, but with problems March 2, 2010
Martha Haydee Urbina (El Paso, TX)
The TV is great. Everything is as expected with the exception of a noise that it generates when is on. The noise is perceived when you are exactly sitting centered to the TV. People sitting at a 15 or 20 degree angle would not hear it that much. The noise is loud enough to be heard even when the volume is at an average level. I am planning on exchanging the TV hoping that this is just a problem of this particular TV. I hope so because I do love everything else.
