Nightmare product. Got it defective on 10/20 still waiting for Samsung to fix it through a local tech. Its almost a month later and it still has a white line running through the middle of it. The tech came twice already and said it was a "rare" defect. I got my model from mexico and there has been alot of chatter about defective units from there. I guess I was one of the unlucky one...I wish I bought the Panasonic plasma instead.

From lots of research on plasma TVS, the Pioneer TVs look to be the best followed by high end Panasonic TVs and then Samsung TVs. The Pioneer TVs were extremely expensive. So, I looked at the Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ800U but it was consistently $600 to $700 more than the Samsung PN50A550. I ended up deciding that in my case the $600 to $700 more wasn't worth it and bought the Samsung.The TV was easy to set up. The picture quality is very good especially once I added my DirecTV HD tuner and Blu-Ray player. Going from a SD to HD picture is truly amazing.The one con is that the sound quality isn't very good especially at higher volumes. However, sound quality tends to be lacking in larger TVs. I will be looking into speakers in the future.

After watching the unit for a week I must say it is best picture I have seen, did a lot of research and it came down to two products , Panasonic or Samsung. Feature I liked about Samsung was it offered USB port for picture input, Panasonic only offered SD input, with USB input can use SD or CF through the used of USB port. GReat service from BuyDig.com and certainly would buy again. Shipping of item was perfect as they use a great company to ship items.

I researched for a long period of time and researched Plasma and LCD. Came to the Samsung PN50A550. Checked out Consumers reports and found that the TV had an excellent rating across the board. Went to all the stores and checked out the picture for myself and it was great. This set also has advanced anti-burn technology plus I do not play allot of games.

We had this for days now, the picture itself was first not as impressive, but after playing with some of the adjustment, we got it to what we think it should look. Dont have HD, so can comments on that part, but w/ a Samsung Upconvert DVD player, we can tell a big different.
