BUZZZZZ
on November 26, 2010

I'm on my second pn50c680 in two weeks. Both have had a loud buzzing sound that is audible even with the volume at a comfortable level. While watching a show with mostly dialog or a movie with a quiet scene the buzzing is all you'll be paying attention to.
In addition to the buzzing, image retention seems to be a big deal with this TV. This is my first plasma but it seems to me like pausing on a screen for 15 seconds should not lead to image retention that takes 5 minutes to go away.
The picture is good, the speakers leave much to be desired and the 3d glasses (SSG-2100AB) constantly go out of sync which makes the 3d effect disappear unless you put tape over the sensor on the glasses. There is much promise to this TV but several annoying symptoms I'm not sure I can live with.
Pros: Inexpensive, good 3d picture when it works
Cons: buzzing, 3d losses sync, image retention
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought a panasonic viera tv 7 months ago it was a 42 in, great pic but wanted something a little bigger and with 3d so far this tv has exceeded my expectations, the pic is great, i game a lot so i mostly bought this tv for that, 3d gaming looks amazing as well as 3d blu rays, ive experienced minimal ghosting but disappears quickly, i have nothing negative about this tv and pricing is great. highly recommended
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

Don't let the LAN port fool you!

The LAN port on this TV is for decoration. Ok, maybe not just for decoration, but it might as well be. It is only for downloading firmware and connecting to your PC to import pictures. It is NOT for streaming apps like Netflix or HULU. It is an easy thing to put into the system and Samsung was ill advised not to. I will never buy another Samsung TV.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations, no streaming apps
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Really love this television. Has a great picture... but I should have purchased the one with apps. Recently I got the Bluray with apps and now I have the best of both worlds.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good TV for the price.
on October 19, 2010
Posted by: C680
Visually this TV looks great. I haven't tried the 3d and don't really care to. The colors are very accurate with a little tuning out of the box. It allows you to make expert changes as well which I quite like. Does a great job of handling faster pictures and gaming. The sound on it is really quite poor (I had a 40" LCD from Samsung that blew this one away.) It is easy to use, looks great and reasonably priced. The ability to link it to DNLA compliant products is always a nice touch but it is slightly annoying that this TV has no internet connectivity whatsoever, I can't even check the weather. Overall a great TV that I am happy to recommend to friends and family.
Pros: Realistic color, dnla compliant.
Cons: terrible sound., no internet connectivity.
I would recommend this to a friend!
