Worth the wait? You betcha!

When I told my wife I wanted an HD Plasma she was happy to oblige...the only catch was we had to save up for it so we would have it all paid for when we bought it. What did that mean? We had to save for a YEAR! Was it worth it? You betcha!
It's amazing how much HDTVs improved in just 12 months! Had we bought it a year before we would have gone with a 720p Samsung like my parents have (also a fantastic TV), but that extra year helped prices go down. We paired up the TV with the Blu-Ray Player found in the Sony PS3 and man does it pop! You love sports? You absolutely have to get a Plasma...don't let anyone trick you into getting an LCD. The plasmas refresh their picture four times faster than any LCD. Don't get caught in the blur! Everything about this TV is awesome. Get it! Get it from Amazon! The delivery service is impeccable. There's no tax depending on where you live. You can't find it cheaper anywhere else. This TV is the way to go! You won't regret it. The touch  more

Great TV

I recommend this TV and I recommend Amazon as a vendor. Initially I ordered the 46" LCD Samsung (650), it had intermittent display problems so I sent it back. Meantime my "research" revealed that many authorities prefer the picture quality of plasma to LCD. So I opted for this one, and I'm very happy with it. I'm convinced it offers a better picture than the LCD I started with, though it's difficult to say why. The LCD seemed to have deeper blacks (when viewed head-on, at least) and it was surely brighter. But the picture on this plasma seems less like a big flat computer monitor and more like a CRT. It has more depth of color. It can reproduce action sequences without gimmicky options like 120hz. In terms of screen size, I think 50" is plenty big if you intend to watch both TV shows and movies in a room of moderate size. TV shows (and ads) are designed to grab your attention on a small screen; with a 50" screen, the effect can be overpowering. But if you're looking for a dedicated movie  more

Great product

I just let go of a Sony CRT HDTV to purchase this, which I've had now for three weeks. I was slow to go to flat panel because of their notoriously poor rendition of blacks. I was right to wait, and this was the right product to wait for. I don't know how blacks could get any darker than the way they're displayed on this screen. In addition, what I thought was black on the CRT was often very dark blue, very dark green, etc... this TV delivers blacks but also nicely renders colors very close to black. Cons: I'm glad I don't have this screen in a bright room - there is some glare, though improved over earlier models - and the heat it puts out is surprising. But I think heat is one price you pay for going to plasma. Other nice touches: jpg and mp3 support. Haven't done the sound yet, but for jpg, just plug in a thumb drive, then point to the photos and ask for a slide show. Images, of course, have excellent resolution.

Great TV

This is a great TV. I did ton's of research before I settled on this TV. It was between this and the Panasonic Viera TV with THX certification. The panasonic was more expensive. I went and looked at both side by side and could not tell the difference between the 2. The red "touch of color" is very subtle, and not an issue. This TV is phenominal!

AWESOME picture quality!!!

Picture quality is superb on this plasma TV. The black level is, well, really black... It may not be as good as the Pioneer Kuro series (though I personally can't really see much difference), but definitely better than the Panasonic PZ85U series.

I would highly recommend this TV especially at the price that Amazon is selling at!

This TV is a Must Have for a Videophile

Look, I have had a lot of HDTV's and like other reviewers I veered away from the plasmas because of Burn-In concerns and the like. I have had this TV for about a month and have enjoyed nothing but pleasure from it. The blacks are some of the deepest I have ever witnessed on a TV. I think this TV could truly give the Pioneer Kuro a run for it's money. I looked at the Panny's too and I was unimpressed when I saw the 650 next to it.

If you are in the market for a TV that will be a centerpiece of your AV room and display a picture worthy of the HD signal with which you will power it then look no further. This TV is spectacular.

Plasma much better than LCD

I have used Samsung for years but always the LCD. This is my first Plasma. I stayed away from plasma because of all the bad hype. This was a mistake.. This new Samsung is great. The plasma picture on this, is in another league compared to LCD. My sister has the Panny 85u & I think the pic on the 650 is better than hers....Like always Amazon beats everyone on price and the really strange thing is Plasma is cheaper than LCD and the picture is much better. I still have 3 other LCD TV's and there like watching crt compared to the plasma.

Samsung Plasma 650

I just received my Samsung 650 from Amazon - first, the price was great - Amazon was great about crediting my account when the price went down right after I ordered - thank you Amazon! - The TV is beautiful - the TOC red is hard to see but I know it's there and I love it - the picture quality is outstanding! I have looked at the Panny 800u and was even considering the 750u but this picture to me is much better - I have a very bright room - lots of french doors - there is some reflection at some angles but overall the picture is great - I have Directtv on the way tomorrow to hook up HD so I haven't experienced that PQ yet but even without it - the picture is awesome. I love this TV.

Good, Would Be Better looking In Blue

Good design, slim profile, and works well. The only reservation i have against this clock is the alarm sound, very loud, and annoying (aren't they all). Also if the numbers were in blue this would look very cool, Sharp can you make this, I'd buy one?!
