bigga says "awasome" about Samsung PN50A550 50 in. Plasma TV

Basically I've had this TV for about 3 weeks already, and wanted to share since when researching this new 2009 Samsung PN50B650 set, there were limited reviews.

the specs and price on this had me at hello...

3,000,000:1 Mega Contrast
0.001ms pixel-response time.
600Hz
Cinema Smooth
4 HDMI ports
Tuners: ATSC / NTSC / QAM
ENERGY STAR qualified
Anynet
DLNA

First off I was always sketchy on Plasma...because of course burn in, and the whole LCD rage taking off.

Basically it was a "burn in" vs "dead pixel" face off.

But burn in is a non issue...sometimes the History channel will leave its logo for a few seconds, but it's not even noticeable unless you try to find it. I play PS3 games on it and it's perfect.

The 4 HDMI ports are priceless....I thought it would be overkill...but add in a TivoHD, PS3, Receiver...and I'm down to 1 side HDMI input left...

The 650 also has the extra internet USB adapter ($75) is very nice as well....connecting to Flickr, your network & Yahoo Weather is very nice....

njchicaa says "We are very happy with this Samsung 50 inch Plasma TV." about Samsung PN50A550 50 in. Plasma TV

When we decided to finish our basement, my husband decided it was the perfect opportunity to buy a ginormous HD plasma TV, upgrade the cable, buy a Blu-Ray player, etc. He chose the Samsung PN50A550 Plasma TV because it was highly rated by Consumer Reports and last year's model so he could pick it up for a nice price online.

I've never been one for super-fancy electronics and didn't have a burning desire for HD TV... until we actually sat down and watched an episode of 24 on this Samsung 50 Inch Plasma. The difference was like night and day and I found myself migrating to the basement each Monday night so I could see Jack Bauer in HD. The picture quality really is incredible and far surpasses what we've seen at local sports bars and even some of our relatives' houses.

When the upstairs TV died and we decided to move the 50" upstairs and buy a 58" for the basement, I was a bit nervous because I had heard that plasmas were better for low-light areas while LCDs were better for brighter...
