  The TV arrived in good condition and we are thoroughly enjoying the picture and programs watched. It was easy to set up and ready to view in a short time.

  The picture is amazing, even with standard definition telivision. Blu-Ray looks breathtaking. Another nice feature is being able to connect to your home network watch picture, movies, listen to music all without a media center extender. Amazon shipped the item very quickly it arrived at the delvery hub by VESA. VESA, on the other hand, held on to the item for about two weeks without calling to set up a date to deliver. I had to call Amazon ask why they were not delivering, needless to say it was delivered the next day. Other than the contractor amazon uses, it was a great experience.

  This was a great experience all around. Not only does the 50″ Samsung plasma have a beautiful picture, it also has enough inputs for a number of peripherals, ie, Wii, karaoke, BluRay, DVR, and older DVD/VCR player. I had a hard time locating this particular model but Amazon had one via VANN’s. My only complaint is that none of the TVs I looked at mentioned that you need extra cables to connect the various peripherals. The quick-connect instructions accompanying the TV gives a list of several different cables available, and lists these in “good, better, best” format for picture quality.

  I was originally going to buy a Kuro 50 inch plasma after looking at all the online reviews from many different sites. The Samsung 650 was also ranked very high, but there were some small negatives about the tv (some glare issues primarily) that had me holding off for the Kuro. Amazon originally had the Kuro for about 2k, but I didn’t pull the trigger quick enough, and then it went away, and I couldn’t find it anywhere for under $2,500. br /br /I wasn’t sure if I was going to go ahead and buy the 650 when I looked on Amazon one day and saw the new 50 inch 760 on sale for $1,599.00. After reading some professional reviews on this product (there wasn’t a whole lot due to how new it was), I decided that this was an upgrade from the slightly older model, and decided to pull the trigger. Best decision I could have made! Not sure if experts still rank the Kuro higher than this television, but if they do, the Kuro must be out of this world, because this Samsung is UNBELIEVABLE. This is my first plasma tv purchase, and I was used to watching television on a 36″ Panasonic traditional tv, but after seeing the picture on the Samung, I was blown away. Watching sports on tv makes you feel as if you are at the event. The color is amazing, the tv looks nice, and the swivel on the stand allows me to turn the tv to face me when my wife isn’t around. It even makes bad movies good (think Spiderman 3), awful movie, but awesome special effects in high def! I think the sound was decent as well, but it didn’t have enough booming bass for me, so with the money I saved over the Kuro, I purchased a Denon soundbar to go along with the plasma to add better surround sound and booming bass. Now wherever I am seated in the room, I can turn my components to face me and enjoy a pretty good surround sound system. If you don’t want to add a surround sound system, this tv handled sound well, but as I say I was really looking for more booming bass when I watched movies. It would have been great if there was a way to add a subwoofer directly to this television, something the Kuro has, but not the Samsung.br /br /There is a teeny glare on the OUTSIDE edge of the television on the part that is not actually the screen(not sure why Samsung made it almost a mirror like edge), but nothing that is too distracting, and I got used to it pretty quickly. I have this in my living room which gets very little light when the shades are closed, but even with lights on, or during the day, the glare issue on this tv is not noticeable. I was a little leary given past Samsung reviews, but I can tell you that if possible glare is holding you back from buying this tv, don’t think twice about it…not an issue. Also, you can watch this tv from anywhere in the room and see it clearly. The controls on the remote are extremely functionable, and everything is VERY easy to setup and tweak.br /br /The other part of this purchase that is EXTREMELY important, and should be emphasized, is the process of buying DIRECTLY through Amazon.com. As long it is directly through Amazon.com (and not through an affiliate), shipping is included in the price, and the company handling the deliveries is TOP NOTCH. When I initially looked around for purchase possibilities, the thing that bothered me was that most companies had a policy where they would deliver the plasma to your front door only. You had to open the box, make sure that it worked, and then sign for it. If there was any type of problem, some would tell you to refuse delivery, and others would tell you that you had to get it fixed through the warranty process! The last thing I wanted to do was to get a defective set, and then have to get someone here to fix it! When I went with Amazon.com, the company delivering for them brought the plasma into my house, took it out of the box, put it on the open table, hooked it up, put batteries in the remote, setup the initial configuration, and made sure that it was working fine BEFORE I signed for it. This piece of mind often called “white glove service” elsewhere costing anywhere from $100 - $150 additional dollars was ABSOLUTELY free with Amazon.com. I can’t stress enough how important this was. I had read about this service beforehand, and it was a primary reason (along with cost) as to why I was pretty much holding off until I found the right television on Amazon. This service alone made my purchase through Amazon.com worth the price over other services, but the price was also also at the lower range of ANYWHERE else. A friend of mine owns an electronics store, and told me point blank that he doesn’t understand how Amazon.com can price merchandise the way they do it, but he had heard good things about them, and although it would hurt him by recommending Amazon.com, he told me to buy from them if the price was right.br /br /I highly recommend this television as well as purchasing from Amazon.com. The final way you know how happy I am with this purchase is to keep the following in mind….I RARELY spend the time to enter reviews after purchases, but I was so happy with this purchase, that I couldn’t wait to share my experience with everyone on Amazon.com

  The Samsung PNA760 50″ plasma television is amazing and Amazon White Glove delivery is top notch.br /br /The White Gloves Delivery man and I unpack the television, placed it atop my entertainment center, plug it end, and turned it on. The picture was incredible without any adjustments. We currently have 4 flat screen televisions in our home, two LCDs and two Plasmas. Although the LCDs are excellent televisions, they pale in comparison to the two plasmas. The primary differences are motion blur and black level. br /br /My only negative comment concerning the PNA760 50″ plasma is reflection glare. Probably would not want to place this Television in a brightly lighted room without heavy curtains to block out ambient light sources while viewing. In a dark room this television is perfect in all aspects. I highly recommend Amazon’s white glove delivery too.br /

  Product is as pictured. Quality is fantastic. The customer service was amazing. We ordered the television at 8:30 PM and had it by 5PM the next day…can’t beat that, especially with free shipping.

  This was one of those sight unseen purchases based upon a glowing review in Consumer Reports. It’s everything it was said to be. Razor sharp images, very nice sound from the two internal speakers (we subsequently purchased a Samsung home theater system “in a box”) and more inputs/outputs than one could possibly need. If it has one “fault” it’s the NYC size telephone directory owners manual and a remote control that I suspect has a feature to beam one aboard the mother ship (still to be confirmed). Highly recommended!

  TV arrived and was set up by delivery service. The picture is perfect. My cats are afraid of it because its monstrous… which is awsome. If you hug it it keeps you warm. (yes I do hug it).

  Overall the picture is great on this television—and plasma is certainly the way to go over LCD. I am very happy with the picture and feature set…although a couple of things about the menu controls are a little screwy, but they are just minor annoyances.

  I’ve shopped for an HDTV for years..seen them all. This is the best, clearest picture I’ve ever seen. Picture rivals $3500 Pioneer I saw for half the price. No motiuon blur, good even with non HD channels!! Initial set up is a breeze. I would recommend this TV bigtime !!!

  I had a total budget of $1,000. I wanted to get the most for my money. It’s easy to get the best TV (when money is no object) but very difficult to find the best value. At the end of the day, I selected this Samsung TV…with money left over to buy a blu-ray player.br /br /The bottom line is that this is a great TV for the price. The fact is, on screen sizes smaller that 50″, 1080p is not a big deal. And although this is a plasma and not an LCD, plasmas have some advantages versus LCD TV’s (the blacks are “blacker”, for instance). Finally, you can get a 40-42″ 1080p LCD TV for less than $1000 but it’s basically junk (at least as of today…but I’m sure that’ll change in time). This is a solid product from a solid manufacturer so you cannot go wrong…and I’ll be enjoying it for years to come.br /br /Football is a whole new experience in HD. This TV is basically idiot proof…it looks good out of the box. Now the blu-ray technology is a bit of a different story.br /br /In all fairness, the other TV to check in this price range–which is a great TV also–is the Panasonic TH-42PX80U. Which ever one you choose, enjoy!

  I bought this plasma after about 6 months of rewviews, research, and shopping. $699.99. Dont be fooled by 1080p. Your eye can’t tell the difference unless you are within 5.5ft. Plasma Tv’s have a faster refresh rate than LCD(even the 120hz LCD’s), 100,000hr life, no burn issue anymore, and most have a better contrast.This TV is really awsome I compared it to the Samsung TOC(touch of color) series. The picture from a blu-ray player were virtually identical! This TV has many many settings that you can really tweak the color, contrast, etc. although you probably wont need them since it looks great out of the box. Sound is great as well, some reviews say different, but really is sounds great. Save you money dont believe the hype and bull about 1080p 120Hz LCD. You CAN get the same beautiful picture at a fraction of the cost. br /br /

  nice tv. great picture. sound is pretty good. only one s-video slot so gamers will have a problem but overall cant beat price for what you get.

  I ordered the tv a few weeks before Christmas and received it a week later. The delivery person set it up and made sure that it worked. Everything was fine. I looked at more expensive products but decided on this one and am very pleased with my purchase.
