  Pro’s:br /This was my best purchased on-line so far. I’ve researched this TV for several months. I believe I did almost a year of researching before I decide to buy this TV. Since I didn’t need to replace my current set I took my time and did my investigation for the best fit for me and my family. I love the colors and the sharpness of the picture. Consumer Reports gave the 50″ model high praise and mention that they didn’t review the 58″ but determine that the results shouldn’t be any different. So I went for the 58″. Oh baby did it pay off! Since the prices of movie tickets went up I decided that a 58″ would be better for watching DVD’s and it would feel more like a movie theater. Just like being at the movies. I haven’t even tried the High Definition yet and I’m still blown away. Watching the March Madness on this TV is nothing short of spectacular. The blacks are as good or even better than reported. The fast motion is not jittery or boxy like you would get with a LCD’s at that size. Going thru Amazon was also a great experience. The truck drivers that delivered the set said “Oh, you got this from Amazon, so you get the grade A delivery service”. They helped me unwrap the box. Had me closely inspect it and we turned it on to confirmed it was working. They would have taken the box but they recommended that I keep the box just in case I had to return it within the 30 days. br /br /Cons:br /The only thing I can say is that I don’t like the mute button feature. When you mute the sound you get a speaker display that won’t disappear and scrolls up and down the side of the screen. It is totally annoying. The remote is cool but I am not too crazy about it. Too big and not that smartly designed but if those are the only complaint’s I really can’t complain.br /br /Conclusion:br /I’ve been to several big name stores and was able to see this TV up close. The best price was $2,800.00. Eat your heart out retailers, I got this great system for as little as $1,920.00 total. That includes shipping and taxes.br /br /Samsung PN58A650 58-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV with RED Touch of Color

  The Television is awsome. I also purchased the hdmi cables (6 foot at $9.50 each) and the tilt wall mount for $89.00 that holds up to 200 lbs.br /The white glove delivery was great. They brought it down to my basement, unpacked the TV hooked it up, made sure it was working, and took away the big box. I had originally purchase the 50″ but returned it for the 58″. Amazon had the guys pick up the 50″ when they delivered the 58″. I only had to pay $79 for the delivery for the 50″ back to Amazon and of course the additional cost of the 58″. Ive had the new 58″ for a month and love it.

  We love our new Samsung Plasma HDTV. The color and clarity is fantastic! We like it so much better than the LCD’s. You can see it clearly from all angles, and fast motion sports and movies are no problem. We ordered it through Amazon and it was delivered on the date we were quoted in great condition. If you are considering this TV, it is totally worth every penny.

  All in all this is an excellent television. Blu-ray movies are absolutely beautiful, and standard DVDs upscaled by my PS3 don’t look bad either. HDMI cables provide a noticeably better picture than any other input. The only thing that doesn’t look so good on this TV are SD TV channels. These tend to be very grainy. In terms of calibration, you really don’t need to spend $400 to have someone calibrate the TV to make it look good. Just play around with the settings until you get it the way you want it. br /br /As mentioned in the title, burn-in is problematic on this television. Do not leave any menu screen on the television for more than a couple minutes. Make sure that if you do get artifacts on the screen that you use the scrolling anti burn-in tool. This has saved me a couple of times already. Also, make sure to utilize the pixel shift function, and remember to turn the brightness and contrast down if you ever play video games where you have a still image in the corner of the screen. br /br /My only other complaint is that the speakers that are built into the TV aren’t very good. You will need a home theatre system to go with this TV. Even an inexpensive system will greatly improve the sound quality. The home theatre is a must have with this TV.br /br /All in all this TV is a great value. It has some small problems, but no TV is perfect.

  I really am glad I purchased this TV. I read reports about it heating up at the corners but I have had no such experience with it. I like the picture and sound quality for normal TV and its not bad for movies either. I did hook up a receiver for 7:1 though. Its a great TV, sleek and I didn’t realize for a month that I could touch the edges to control sound, power. Nice feature, The touch of red thing really isnt a big deal. I suppose there is a slight aesthetic appeal but not a buying consideration. Nice inputs/outputs and even a direct network input port - although I haven’t used that feature.

  We bought the TH-65PZ750U both because an independent/non-profit consumer magazine rated its little brother, the TH-58PZ750U, as the top-performing TV in its size class, and because Panasonic TVs in general were rated as having the least-frequent / smallest number of problems/repairs. In my own experience, one can’t take for granted getting both high performance and reliability in one product. So with a credible source saying that Panasonic nailed both, we figured we can’t go wrong.br /br /We’ve been using this TV for about 4 months and are very pleased. The picture looked awesome right out of the box. The only adjustment we’ve made since then is to back off the “Picture” setting because we found it to be very bright; not a flaw, just preference. I am particularly fussy about picture quality, and until now preferred smaller screens because the big ones just didn’t look good to me. But the TH-65PZ750U changed that. The HDTV picture is incredible. The colors are vivid but not embellished, the level of detail is stunning, and the edges are nice and crisp. In fact, with a good HD source, the TH-65PZ750U is able to give the illusion of looking out a window or “being right there”. But it also excels with regular non-HD sources as well.br /br /On top of all that, the TV itself has a nice gloss-black frame that looks really sharp. Obviously a matter of taste, but some of the gray-plastic frames on other TVs make them look cheezy and could be of detriment to the “wife-approval factor”. Ours is being used as a monitor connected to a home theater system, so I am unable to comment on the TV’s built-in tuner or sound quality.br /br /So if you want top-shelf picture quality from a company with a good track record for reliability, the Panasonic TH-65PZ750U is definitely worth putting at the top of your short list.

  I compared zillion different TV sets before I ran into this monster plasma. It has clearest and best defined image. Colors are crisp and vibrant, the entire image is 3-dimensional! There is lot of talk about what is superior, but just walk to a decent store and watch this thing and it will speak for itself. The Blu-Ray movie looks like a dream on this set. I watched some animation movies and the whole experience is blowing mind!

  I’ve been struggling with what TV to buy for our home theater system. I narrowed it down to this TV, the Pioneer 60″ KURO, or the Samsung 57″ LN-T5781F. We really liked the Samsung, the 500,000:1 contrast ratio really makes that TV pop; however it was a bit more than I wanted to spend. We finally settled on this TV from Best Buy after Best Buy price matched Amazon and threw in some extras. The TV is a pain to get home if you’re not using Best Buy home delivery. It wouldn’t fit in our Tahoe so we had to get a trailer to drive it home. Once we got home, I had to get help to move it since its a bit heavy (it weighs 180 pounds and the box is awkward to carry). I paired this TV with a Denon AVR-2308CI receiver and watched a couple movies to test it out. The TV looks absolutely fantastic in our home theater area.
