Nice TV....bad internal malfunction!

I have had this tv for over a year now and lately I had noticed that is has been getting extremely hot. I figured that was maybe what plasma's do. Then about a month ago I go to turn on my tv and it makes its usual jingle when it turns on the then a loud POP! came from inside the tv. The screen went black and no sound. I turn it off and turn it back on and all i get is a black screen and still no sound. So I go to check over the tv and I then notice a nice size crack on the internal screen of my tv. Was not there until the loud POP noise came. Now I hope we can get it replaced! GOOD LUCK!
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: tv internal malfunction
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What a Great Picture

A little dubious about getting a plasma, but I am so happy i did. the picture has great depth to the colors, it sounds amazing, and when you watch blu ray movies with it, it is amazing.
The only thing I don't like is the image burn, but it is not that bad and fixes itself fairly quickly. People told me that the reflective glare would be bad, but it is not much worse than a led tv
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great TV

This is the plasma that got me hooked. This TV has all the features needed and then some. The design looks great on the wall and is very easy to use. Add a Samsung Blu-Ray and you are ready to go. It switches between sources easily. Add the BDD-6500 from Samsung and they communicate perfect and you get the wireless feature of the BDD-6500. One remote controls both and the cool factor of them both being touch activated is great
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, pair with the samsung bdd6500 blu-ray perfect
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Happy

I did my research and decided to go Plasma when I purchased this TV a year ago. This TV gets light to moderate use watching movies and sports. I didn't want the lag associated with LED/LCD TVs.
I didn't need an ultra thin TV.
I didn't need a "smart" tv capable of accessing the internet.....I use my blu-ray player for that. Its easier and cheaper to upgrade a blu-ray player every few years than to upgrade a quality TV.
I paired this TV up with a Samsung Blu-Ray c5500 and Samsung AVR c560s. One remote controls all three devices thanks to Anynet+....great for my wife and kids.
This TV does have a faint buzz when you stand next it and the volume is muted.....seems to be common with Plasmas.
Images are crisp and the colors are deep!
Pros: great picture. no lag
Cons: faint buzz
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pros: Bright display
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Two Years and still going strong

Love everything about this TV with the exception of 3 things. The contrast and brightness range is so high that darks are VERY dark and brights and VERY bright, but that can be a good thing. Wish it would have had a built in wifi adapter but thats an extra feature i didn't pursue at the time. While the TV is rated for 110-240v and 50/60hz, if the Video system would support multiple standards (NTSC, PAL, ect.) would make this a great TV nothing really to loose a star over. Great TV over all i would highly recommend this to anyone just be sure to follow the break in period since it's a plasma.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, gaming mode is supurb
I would recommend this to a friend!
