satisfied with tv thus far. However, all of a sudden a small bubble (which looks like an air bubble) is at the top of the screen. I will contact them for service. But the features are great, 3-D is ok so far. Need to review some more content. No other flaws at this time. Satisfied as of now
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing quality and value

I am loving my new 59" 3d plasma. The picture quality is amazing and the 3D is excellent. The black levels are great on this set. I would have appreciated an additional slot for component cables so I wouldn't have to switch it out back and forth between my dvr and cable box. The web search is also a bit clunky. These are minor gripes when considering how amazing blu rays look on this tv.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, great 3d visuals
Cons: only one component video input.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this TV!

I bought this to replace a 32" tube set, even though the old one was hi-def. The Samsung is so much better viewing. I'm still learning how to use all the apps, and recently also bought a Samsung home theater system with its own app set-up, but that's coming along. All of that stuff could be little more user-friendly. The 3-D on this set is terrific, even though I don't watch a lot of 3-D stuff. I mostly wanted the 3-D feature for visiting grandkids. There is a slight buzzing when you sit exactly in the center-- kind of annoying, but still avoidable with just a 5-degree offset with your seating. A little expensive, but worth it. Overall, a great TV!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: mediocre speakers

Huge improvement over the last model

This is way better than the c8000 from last year. The picture is better and the 3D with bluetooth connected glasses puts the c8000 and its infrared glasses to shame. I just wish this model had a headphone jack and amazon video. other than that, its awesome!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good not great

Great picture and style. The online features are slow and hard to navigate. 3d is cool for the first five minutes. One pair of glasses have broke after 3 weeks(on/off switch). Tv has a tremendous buzz at volume levels as high as 15. Service has been scheduled. I took a chance with plasma and if a new unit without the buzzing works I will be more than satisfied. If not I am going back to lcd or led.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, incredible picture, appears larger than a 59"
Cons: tv buzzes louder than spoken word

Making the switch to PDP

Expertise:Expert
My previous set was an 8-series 2010 55" LED(LOVED IT), decided to make the switch to plasma in order to see what the hype was all about. I'm not unhappy with that decision as the plasma sets seem to have better color production and 3D depth.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, video-file compatibility, accepts external storage for pics/video/music, allshare software for pc makes sharing easy
Cons: options menu/smarthub nav is a bit slow
I would recommend this to a friend!
