Gorgeous picture unless...

You like watching hockey or anything else with a predominately white screen. The pink shaded glare protections tints everything that is supposed to be white (like ice or snow) pinkish. This is especially evident if I look from my laptop or iphone screen, which just highlight how pink this tv makes anything that's a neutral color look. I'm also seeing some pink banded artifacts across the middle of the screen on some all white or all light grey screens.
Pros: 3d looks awesome; the 2d to 3d feature is very coo
Cons: Did not meet expectations

Great tv, poor marketing

This set has been in my home for one month now. It is a thing of beauty. I still am impressed with the coloring, sharpness, and slick styling. Samsung did not disappoint with this product. What is disappointing though, in a 3D entertainment starved society, is Samsung's decision to parcel out new 3D movies only in "kits" containing 2 sets of glasses with selected movies bundled together. If a Samsung system owner wishes to own a movie sold exclusively by Samsung to new owners, there should be something in place to accommodate them. The market has many choices, and Samsung needs to realize loyalty is earned with exceptional customer service.
Back to the set itself. It clings to the wall similar to an LED set, with the vivid blacks and perfect color saturation plasmas have always been known for. Any broadcast can be viewed in 3D format. When viewing a 3D blu-ray movie, it truly is amazing. It provides the 3D experience we crave and rarely achieve at the theater. For those who leave the movies, tossing your throwaway glasses into the bin thinking the effects could have been better, this will blow your mind. I am addicted. Enjoy....
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, beautiful
I would recommend this to a friend!

This TV is just as everyone else has shared: a great value, excellent features, sweet design, awesome performance and if you own it then I would hope you would have the same feelings. The best thing I like about this TV is how all my friends react when they come over and see it. It is like they are seeing HD for the very first time again.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I cant say enough. I love this TV. I moved from a rear projection 48" to this 58" plasma. I did tons of research and for the price and quality of this product you cant beat it. Even my wife loves this TV and you know how wives could care less about TV's sometimes. I would recommend this product to anyone.
Everything about this TV has been great: - The large screen size - Front of mounted TV is just 2 inches from the wall - Internet aps are great and we watch/listen to them as much as regular TV - The wireless capability allows flexibility in placement - The PC sharing is great for family photos or videos - The 3d has been awesome (ESPN 3D football is something to see for sports fans)
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, variety of viewing options
I would recommend this to a friend!

I finally know what black really is...

I own 6 flat panels which are all LCD's and one SXRD Sony projector. This Samsung plasma produces the deepest blacks I have ever seen. The black bars blend into the blacks of the picture. The shadow detail is phenominal. You can fine tune the picture to exactly the point you prefer given all of the options to finely tweak the picture, grayscale, etc.
My one and only complaint is the hum that the TV makes when it's on but once your volume is at listening level you'll never notice it.
I would recommend this TV to anyone looking for a new set with a beautiful picture and overwhelming black level. I am not a huge 3D fan overall but after watching Shrek in 3D on this set I am hooked! I find the colors very accurate without too much saturation.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color
Cons: humming sound
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great 3D and Excellent Picture Quality Overall

When I bought this TV I opted for the plasma because of the 3D superiority over the LEDs. I also liked the fact that I could buy a much larger TV than I had anticipated due to the lower cost. To my surprise, the regular HD picture was great. I have another Samsung TV which is a 52 inch LCD. It has a great picture too, but this one is even better! The colors are more lifelike than the LCD and I've never seen any motion blur like I've experienced on the LCD. I just hope this TV lasts a long time as I am very satisfied with it.
