First, the product itself:
The FP-T6374 is a 63" 1080p plasma display panel from Samsung. At this size, the 2 million plus pixels provided by the 1080p resolution can truly be appreciated. Color reproduction is extraordinary, the factory provided "Movie" mode and "Warm 1" color tone provide cinema style color reproduction without too much "monkey"-ing with the settings, but if you do wish to "monkey" with the settings, Samsung has included a plethora of picture and color settings to allow anyone to tweak the display settings to their satisfaction. The set even accepts 1080p/24hz input (though how it then displays it is a matter up for debate.) The blacks may not be as deeps as the Pioneer Kuro but, in my estimation, they are deeper than it's Panasonic competitor. Regardless, the blacks are true enough to please the most discriminating eye in all but the darkest rooms. Aesthetically, the high gloss black bezel is very attractive and fitting for a display of this price point. Unfortunately,

I purchased this TV and had it delivered on a Thursday. I was so excited when it arrived... I unpacked it, tested it out and everything looked great! By Saturday it was on the wall and looking good. I will say the picture was fantastic. I hooked up the PS3 and watched some BD material and could not have been happier. That is until I noticed a weird glitch. Sometimes when I turned it on, it would cycle power once or twice (You can hear the power relay clicking on then off) Well now it is Tuesday, and that is all the TV will do when you attempt to turn it on. It will continuously cycle between on and off. This only happened occasionally at first. By today, Tuesday, you never get a picture. It basically does not work. Today I called Samsung, and was told that repair personnel will call me within one to two days. I think that sucks when I just paid $4000+ for TV. IT IS ONLY 5 DAYS OLD!! I am without a TV until then. What happens if this happens again once I am out of warranty?

I would give this no stars if I could. I have had nothing but problems with this television and Samsung in general. I am on my 3rd round of replacement parts with this. It started shutting itself off and on by itself 3 days after I bought it. The repair lasted about 6 months, then the problem just recently started again. I just had the plasma panel replaced...everything except for the housing. And it is still screwed up. Now I have a 4"x10" vertical line with a laser-like line up the middle of it. Yeesh, this thing sucks! I would say I just had a bad apple, but I also bought the Hp-4252 for my home and 4 for work. In just over a year, they all had problems with laser lines and black sections. Those were just out of warranty of course. STAY AWAY FROM SAMSUNG PLASMA DISPLAYS. Buy any other brand.

I've been researching this TV for about 4 months now and I was torn between this 58" plasma and the 52" lcd Samsung 71 series. I play a lot of video games and burn was a major concern, so I was leaning towards the lcd. But I ultimately decided to go with the 58" because face it, bigger is better. Let me tell you that I couldn't have been more right. This TV is amazing. The picture is nothing short of spectacular. This is my 3rd HDTV. My last one was a Hitachi CRT. I didn't think the picture would improve too much over the Hitachi, but boy was I wrong. Setup was easy as cake. I set all of the settings to my liking and then watched the Suns-Warriors game..... it looked like I could've reached out and touched Shaq. I've also been playing Call of Duty 4 on my XBox 360 for hours straight and guess what.... NO BURN IN!! If you're considering getting this TV, trust me, it's well worth it. The only cons are that the sound could be a little better, and the TV does get hot. But the manual says that

bought this TV with the Peerless wall mount package deal- both were great purchases. The television is mounted on a wall above a fireplace, and installation and hook-up was very easy. The TV comes on a stand, which can be easily disconnected for wall mounting.
Had this set for a couple of weeks before getting the HD digital cable box- don't expect this set to perform up to its standards by inputting a pour signal. The HD channels look great, and DVD's are even better (Denon DVD player, with upconvert feature to 1080i- getting 1080p soon). Picture settings can be found all over the internet, but they obviously depend on your room, viewing angle and distance, etc. The 'dynamic' setting works great for sports, but I use 'standard' for most other programs.
The TV itself looks really good with the sleek black outline. The speakers are on the side of the unit, and for my small townhome living room, they work fine. I use a Denon home theater system for most movie viewings, but the standard

I'm no expert on TVs, but I feel I owe this to others on the fence between plasma and LCD. I have been on the fence now for about 4 months and read many reviews, reports, and visual comparisons on differences between the two. After much turmoil between them, I have decided on the Samsung 5084. This plasma is replacing my 36" JVC family room TV.
How I made my choice was:
First off, you can't go wrong with either choice. LCD's seem to cost much more in the 50" or larger size. In my case, the 52" Sharp LCD I was looking at cost $600 more then I paid for my plasma. It seems there is not much of a difference in picture quality. The sales people in Best Buy and Circuit City want to sell you the LCDs for some reason. I'm not saying you shouldn't listen to them, but, they couldn't give me a good enough reason to swing me. They tell you go for the LCD because of the dull finish to reduce light glare. I didn't see much glare on the Samsung to sway me. Even under the bright lights

Short report on my new 5084. Will update as I go along.
1 week.
Overall impression. This TV set rocks. Quality = very happy. Price = Amazon for life. Delivery = Eagle truck came with one man. He apologized profusely for not having 2 men and offered to come later. I offered to help and he was very grateful (thats what I wished for anyway hah). Truck with liftgate, very careful person. Took all the cardboard away. I gave him a tip, he wasn't gona take it "Its me who should give you a a tip for your help". Very satisfied. Delivered in 3 days.
1. PQ is second to none. Colors are amazing. DVDs via Oppo DV-981HD (purchased on Amazon as well) look breathtaking. SD channels are not as bad as some people reporting, even tho I didn't buy this set for SD. HDTV is OMG.
2. No humming or any kind of noise coming from this TV whatsoever. I spent 20 min trying to hear something, even putting my ear to it and... nothing.
3. I am beginning to think that all the talk about break-in 200 hrs, no Dynamic

This tv was delivered about 10 days after I ordered and white glove service was great. A week later it started powering off and on by itself. I called Samsung, and was refered to a technician. He told me he would bring the parts that could be causing the problem. On the day of the appointment he was late, brought no parts or tools, and stayed under 10 minutes. He tried to do a software update even though the tv was new, repeated that about 8 times, then said "I don't have what I need to fix this, we'll call next week" and left. He never called. White glove picked it up today, 48 hours after I called them. Amazon is giving me a full refund since I never want a Samsung product again. Don't be fooled by the initial quality of this tv. It's like a shiny used car that dies 10 minutes after you drive it off the lot, and Samsung acted like a used car salesman. On the upside Amazon has the best customer service I've ever experienced and I'll certainly buy my next tv from them. Just

I don't know why I am writing this, as others with more technical knowledge than me have already done better. I guess I am just excited to have it and I want to share. A couple of points.
1) This is my first wide screen/flat panel/digital/HDTV, so maybe I am naive. But from the minute I turned it on, it has blown me away. Same goes for every member of my family and every friend who has seen it. On a 1080p signal, the picture is unbelievable. The picture is bright and clear from almost any viewing angle and -- despite the fact that the screen is very shiny -- it is very resistant to glare, much more so than my old 27" tube TV. The problem (if there is one) is, the acuity of the visual detail makes it difficult to actually pay attention to either movies or sports. Instead of watching the action, I find myself trying to read the time off a spectators' watch in the stands (which you can almost do), or look at the details in the background of a film scene. I guess I'll get used to

Bought this TV from amazon during Christmas' 07. Had it for about a month now. All I can say is that I am completely satisfy with the TV and the service from Amazon. The PQ of this TV is amazing as others had said. I haven't calibrated the set but I used the default movie mode for watching movie in the dark. I wallmounted this TV using Sanus Visionmount VMPL3-B. Make sure you hit center on 3 studs because this TV is very heavy (~ 150 lbs w/o stand). It took 3 people to mount this. If you are using the low-profile mount of the VMPL3, make sure you connect all the cables before mounting it. The clearance between the wall and the back of the TV once mounted is only 1.5 inch. You can see my setup in the customer image.

I purchased my Samsung FPT5884 plasma from Amazon after Thanksgiving on Monday, November 26. Amazon was out of stock, and my Samsung was shipped by Vanns. I expected to receive White Glove delivery since I purchased through Amazon, but I discovered that Vanns does not provide White Glove delivery like Amazon. This was initially very concerning to me, but all turned out well. I was called by the delivery company on Thursday to set up a delivery time for Monday, December 3 -- 7 days after I placed my order! The delivery company arrived when they said they would and delivered the huge box to my front door. My adult son helped me uncrate the TV and place it on the entertainment center. Beware, it does take two very strong people to handle this monster (or White Glove delivery)!
Within minutes I hooked a HDMI cable to my HDTV cable box, and the monster screen lit up in rich, glorious color. The picture definition and detail were absolutely remarkable. Setup instructions were very easy

I've owned this set now for about a month now. I purchased it to retire an older HDTV rear-projection set that I'd had for about eight years. I am extremely, extremely picky about televisions. The first few weeks I was somewhat disappointed in this set. Apparently plasmas don't have the best black levels -- and this INCLUDES the much-lauded Pioneers. Plasma and LCD just aren't up to CRT levels yet. After accepting this, I can safely say that the Samsung has one of the best pictures I've seen in a television. The colors are absolutely brilliant! The built-in ATSC tuner pulls in every DTV station in my area (much better than my previous 2002-era Samsung ATSC tuner). Watching 1080p/24 material via my Toshiba HD-A20 HD-DVD player is stunning. It's a fabulous TV and is absolutely HUGE!

This TV is bright and has fantastic picture quality. It is very easy to setup. My XBOX360, Dish HD, and an upconverting DVD player all looked very nice. I was thrilled with my Christmas purchase until it failed yesterday (yes, less than 3 weeks) with a dark thin horizontal line (about 4mm thick) making a permanent appearance about 2/3rds of the way down. Samsung doesn't cover such a defect claiming it is screen burn-in!!. There is no signal I could put into the system that burns that thin a line (horizontally) at that position on the TV. But Samsung is sticking to its guns saying that is screen burn-in and that it is not covered.
The Samsung customer rep told me that 3 of 5 customers calling with similar problems are Amazon buyers. Given my high satisfaction with other stuff from Amazon, I don't think Amazon is somehow buying seconds. The rep wouldn't assign any reason to explain his statistics despite me pressing him.
I requested a return to Amazon. The process is that someone

I was a bit apprehensive ordering a tv of this size & price on Amazon.com...however it was difficult not to consider the cost savings over local chain stores and other "less reliable" internet providers. I received the tv within a week of ordering it...the cardboard box it came packaged in was incredible - complete with operable tabs to allow removal of the box lid permitting full inspection of the TV without cutting or ripping anything open! The delivery men opened the box for me noting none of the styrafoam securing the corners of the tv was cracked indicating the box was not dropped. The point of being long winded about the delivery is hopefully obvious - this is what I was most concerned about with ordering on the internet. Now to the heart of the matter - the TV is awesome...without question...15,000:1 contrast ratio says it all. A side and rear USB port with a slide-show program built-in to the TV came in handy for our family Christmas gathering...I loaded over 300 digital family

Before I made this purchase Samsung FPT5084 50" 1080p Plasma HDTV I spent many hours researching flat panel displays. I concluded that each technology has it's strengths and weaknesses, therefore, there is no 'perfect' display.
The key is to choose the display that is right for YOU in terms of performance, features and price. My main program material is movies on DVD and sports. Thus, my goal was to minimize the distractions that interfere with these programs - namely 'judder' and other motion artifacts like 'smearing'. Both of these problems, it seems, are of greater concern with LCD flat panels than plasma displays.
STRENGTHS:
The Samsung FPT5084 displays HD movies with effortless accuracy - the faint 'chatter' in slowly panned scenes exactly matches that which is present in the theater. While some may prefer the motion-smoothing features of 120Hz LCD displays, in my opinion those features detract from great cinematography. The ability of this Samsung plasma display to match

This is a fantastic plasma display TV at a very competitive price from Samsung. The picture quality is absolutely amazing and the price is very attractive. Amazon white glove delivery was great and they did a great job delivering it in-home in a very reasonable amount of time. I bought this TV early Nov after shopping around for several Plasma Displays(from Panasonic and Samsung) and LCD displays(from Sony and Samsung). I couldn't be happier with buying this TV.

Now, this is a TV.
63" still commands the respect that 50" plasma screens used to get.
We spent weeks shopping around the local big box retailers and the price on Amazon is almost $1,500 less than the lowest price we found -- plus free shipping and no sales tax! You cannot beat it.
This TV totally PWNS the set that it replaces -- a rear-projection travesty from Sony. Just make sure that you have enough room -- and if you are mounting this on a wall -- get it professionally installed -- no "hercules hooks" for this bad boy!

This is a fantastic set - it's huge so be sure you've got a room large enough to accomodate it. Too small a room and you get vertigo! Delivery was fast and setup was included in the cost. That's a good thing because this set is about 200 pounds and it takes two people to put it into place.
Another thing to watch for is the size as far as a stand or wall mounting - you will need to do some homework as most standard mounts and stands are for smaler sets. We spent more time searching for the right stand than the we did the TV itself.
Pricing locally we saved close to $2,000 compared to Best Buy and Fry's... they wouldn't even touch it on a price match basis.
The picture is crisp and sharp - the only real problems are the internal speakers facing the rear (vs) the front - but they still are outstanding... and it's not an issue as most people buying a set like this are going to channel sound through a home theater setup.

We've had this TV for about 3 weeks, and are absolutely thrilled with the purchase. This is our second Samsung set (the other one LCD), and we are consistently impressed with the quality and stunning picture.
We did a lot of homework on this purchase, and a few points are pretty compelling:
1) Price/Performance: Many people steered us toward the Pioneer Kuro, as the "pros" consistently rate this very high. The Kuro has an extra HDMI port and light sensing, but costs at least $1000 more and gives you 3" less screen. (Not even going to discuss Pioneer 65" sets, because then you are nearly double the cost of this TV, which is just silly.) The Kuro's a nice set, but in our opinion, the Samsung has a brighter, more saturated color than the Kuro, and many regular people I have spoken with agree on that. Amazon's deal is $1000-1500 better than anywhere else.
2) Do you watch sports, news channels, or are you planning on using a video game system? The Samsung has a feature that shifts
