Awesome TV, all of the features work great, only problem I had is my 3d glasses turn off on their own for some reason, even though the emitter is working fine, and it seems the glasses are working fine as well.....
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

this plasma hdtv is truly worth your money. and it's inexpensive compare to led/lcd. ended up going with a samsung over a sony because of the quality of the color. personally my bf and i both think plasma has much more eye smoothing color, and has a much truer black than a led or lcd. minus one star on the feature because the built in samsung app screen actually doesnt use its true 1080p. (you'll know the difference when you use the same apps on samsung tv vs on ps3) i am strictly talking about the interface of the app. (the quality of the video is still true to its quality sd, hd, etc.) I am sure it will have a system update soon.. I hope. when you watch 3d content the glasses will switch from regular to dim lighting. but for some random reason, sometimes it has a glitch and does the dimming when viewing a lighter background scene even though i am still viewing 3d content. it happens on movies and video games quite often but doesnt bother us too much.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color

A great TV

For advanced technology, this TV was easy to set up right out of the box with a purchased HDMI cable. I quickly hooked up the BluerayDVD player that came with the package too. Once the Directv guy came with the new high def reciever, he programmed the remote to operate the TV and the directv box. After a couple of months of changing the height, we mounted to the wall and hooked in the Bose surround sound, VCR, and WII. Awesome!. Only drawback we have noticed is that the sound quality was reduced when we mounted the TV to the wall since the speakers are in the back, but the Bose system elimimates that problem. The 3D glasses are a big improvement over the movie theater kind. However, our package came with two sets, and additional ones are $150 bucks! Not many 3D movies available yet, but I'm sure that will change soon.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, easy to mount on wall with bracket, great picture

Greatest TV for the Price Around the World!

The TV is super thin with great picture quality. Xbox 360 never looked beter and Media Center is perfect, no a single missed frame like other TVs from LCD or LED. I never see a plasma go to service, but I see plenty of TVs from other brands and LCD or LED have picture issues, not with this one. I have hooked up a WiDi Netgear Adapter for wireless laptop support and works better than in the store display with a Sony LED which had picture quality and frames dropping like crazy. Samsung TV has no issues. The Apps are a Great bonus, I wish they make a Windows Media Center app and the All Share Media is excellent DLNA technology that simply works and smoothly. I can't tell you how much I LOVE this TV. I would have bought the 800 series if it had many more features and not just two. The much higher price for the 8000 series does help and the store was sold out for the past 3 months with none available to order. I wish Samsung made the Ultimate Plasma TV and called it the 9500 series. Second wish is for a 32" and 42: plasma versions for the kitchen and second bedroom. This TV ROCKS!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color

Unreal picture, just have to get over the buzz.

Simply said, the picture on this tv is amazing. Picture calibration options are extensive for an entry-level tech geek such as myself.
I play a lot of xbox 360 games and the "game mode" feature works great.
The sound struggles a bit but I expected that to be the case upon purchasing as the TV is paper thin. An affordable 5.1 theater system more than makes up for it.
Also, the fiber-optic out from the tv only processes sound over 2 audio channels. Sorta bummed it can't output a 5.1 signal as my receiver only has 2 digital inputs and I have multiple digital sources. With that being said, my receiver simulates surround pretty well so I can live with it.
My only true complaint is the buzzing sound from the tv. The buzz fluctuates with the picture - when the screen gets brighter, the buzz gets louder. The good news is that I've had the set for a little over a month and it has become barely noticeable. I'm new to plasmas and have been told buzzing is common so I guess it's the trade off for great picture quality.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, design
Cons: buzzing, 2.0 fiber optic output
