 excellent TV July 7, 2010

We are really impressed with this Samsung 50-inch plasma TV. Picture quality is excellent; black colour is solid, and glare from the screen is minimal. Sound quality is good for inbuilt small speakers, but for programs with music you will want to run the audio through a home theatre stereo system, which is what we do, using the TV sound for voice audio only.
We bought this product because it was rated tops by Consumer Reports which I find very reliable for selecting and buying products.
Thrilled! April 17, 2010

Couldn't be happier with this TV: beautiful design, picture, and was delivered promptly and in great condition. Picture is phenomenal and can't believe I went without for so long.

(PN50B560 50" plasma)I bought this TV Oct. 25,2009. 11 days later it started acting up. The red light in front would start flashing and it wouldn't respond to the remote. It wouldn't respond manually either. It would turn off by itself. Then turn on by itself. Samsung took 2 months to get the replacement controller board for it.
It still didn't work properly.
I have to keep it unplugged so that it doesn't turn itself on while i'm at work or sleeping. WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK!!
Finally, after 6 months, they've agreed to give me a refund. They still don't know what's wrong with it! SO I DON"T RECOMMEND THIS MODEL!! They should have replaced it immediately instead of making me 2 months for the first round of repairs!

Nov 29,2009, Ordered a samsung pn50b560 50 inch plasma TV from amazon.com
Dec 7,2009, TV is delivered. Set up in living room, waited 2 hours or so for the TV to come up to temperature. TV moved downstairs and hung on wall. Worked fine from dec7 through dec 9th.
Dec 10, 2009, turned TV on in the morning, no picture, but sound worked fine. Later that afternoon, called Samsung, got a repair ticket (don't have the number handy atm), was told that someone local would call from 24-48 hours later.
Dec 17,2009, called samsung back as no one had ever called back. Got a new ticket #4006032686. Shortly thereafter got a call from a local place, Woods Electronics. As I was out of town at the time, the TV couldn't be picked up until the 26th, but their technician was on vacation from the 25th through the 4th of january. Told them to pick it up on the 4th, but to call ahead of time so I could be sure to be home.
Jan 4th,2010. Waited until 2pm or so before calling Woods, was told it couldn't be picked up until the 11th.
Jan 11th,2010. Tried the TV in the morning, just to see what happened. Lo and behold there was picture. Called Woods and told them that it now worked, no need to come out. 15 minutes later, the picture was gone again. Called Woods again, and explained what happened. TV was picked up later that morning.
Jan 19th,2010. Called Woods. Was told the parts were ordered on the previous thursday, takes 5-10 working days for them to show up.
Jan 28th,2010. Called Woods. Was told TV had been up and running for a while. Earliest delivery date would be the Feb 1st. I arranged with a friend to pick it up the next day, rather than wait.
Jan 29th. Picked TV up before noon, was told to wait a couple hours to let it come up to temperature. Hung TV on wall around noon. About 2:00pm or so, turned TV on.
Nice picture. While attaching permanent mounting screws, the picture goes out again. I call Woods Electronics again, yell at technician. He comes out about an hour later. I apologize for yelling at him over the phone. He thinks it might be my AC power input. He plugs his meter into the outlet, announces he sees 12 volts. I never get a chance to see the meter. I suspect he is just making intermittent contact with the receptacle. He takes the TV back yet again.
A couple of days later, i meter the same plug. Reads 120VAC. I try to stress test the wiring, by plugging in a 12A electric heater and, while monitoring the voltage, turning the heater on and off quickly. I see the voltage drop to 116VAC from 120VAC as the heater is switched on and off.
Still waiting to see how this turns out....
Samsung Plasma rocks January 27, 2010

For the money ,the Samsung 1080p plasma cannot be beat. I did way too much research on this before I purchased,both online and in the retail stores. I first looked at the 720p model ,after reading that there was not much difference,and found a good deal at Best Buy,I lucked out when it was not in stock,so I looked into outer models. The Panasonic had some good reviews,but not for me,the image was not as clear, or bright,the white areas were gray. I decided to give the Panasonic another look at a different store,and make sure, that the setup was done correctly at Best Buy,so I went to Costco, and saw the same results. So now I had it narrowed down to the Samsung brand, and found the best deal at Amazon, with free home delivery,no tax ,and a $100 gift card. I went with the Samsung PN50B560 1080P Plasma and after 1 month of use I could not be happier with the decision,and this was my first purchase with Amazon now I will look at Amazon first,they have excellent communication,quick shipping and very good prices. GET THE SAMSUNG
