Samsung PN50B650 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV
Better late than never I guess This has turned out to be a really good TeeVee after I had Samsung come to the house 3 times to repair it. Fortunatly their engineer as their repairmen are called got it fixed for good on the third try. First the panel went out got that replaced then some of the other electronics freaked out got several boards replaced then a couple power supply capacitors blew up and sparks flew out of the vents in the top until I unplugged it got that replaced. Luckily for me this all took place in the first year so it was all covered under Samsungs's excellent warranty. Basically I have a new TV since everything installed at the factory has been replaced except the frame. Been going good since about September of 2010 when it was repaired last. Hopefully it won't notice this review since I don't have it connected to the internet may it continue to work as designed.P.S. The stars are for how it acts now I'm over being mad about it.
samsung plasma black line Purchased August 2009 from Amazon. Will not purchase Samsung products again. Admitted problems with product. Amazon is just as bad as a BIGBOX store. Very disappointed with both companies.
Great TV but mute icon is annoying. Bought this TV in January 2010 and have had no problems whatsover. My only quibble is that when mute is activated an icon appears on the screen and remains there until sound is reactivated. At times I listen on wireless headphones so as not to disturb my wife when she's reading and the mute icon dancing around the screen is just plain annoying.
Great tv We really like this tv. It's our first large HD set so our comparison is dramatic but we can't really fault this tv in any way. We've had it for over a year now and the only problem is that it's very difficult to see the controls on the front so you can accidentally change something while dusting it.
A $1110 TV Set Main Board Broken after 16 Months The set has a beautiful picture. The Internet widgets are interesting but download time is SLOW.The problem I purchased the set in February 2010 for $1100. In June 2011 it stopped working altogether. The only sign of life was a clicking sound in the TV every six seconds. I called Samsung my warranty expired and they sent a service guy for $99.
Fantastic TV for the price one year later I have had this TV for a little over a year now and JUST LOVE IT still. There are of course newer models coming online every day but when a person spends $1000+ on a Plasma set you don't normally upgrade every year unless you can afford to. Even if I could afford to I'd stick with this fantastic unit.From the picture quality to the color vibrancy to the ease of setup and use to the depth of images it's got it all in my opinion. Sound is good for TV speakers. The remote is great easy to use. I have a BluRay DVD player which produces stunning images in movies like Avatar. Just stunning. Even friends I had over to watch certain movies are quite impressed.I'm hoping this unit lasts a long time because I'm very pleased with the quality.
Worked great for 18 months Bought this TV in 2009 and was very impressed with it until a thin black horizontal line appeared on the screen one Friday afternoon about two weeks ago. Called Samsung very sorry out of warranty. Called their local service center in Phoenix and they sent a guy out to my house$75. He diagnosed it as a defective Y board and ordered the part. Came back out this week and installed it another $265 but the line remained. Service tech told me it might take a couple of days for the line to disappear ??? but if the new part didn't fix it then the plasma screen was defective and Samsung should replace it. I've been around awhile and I've never seen a piece of electronics heal itself days after a repair it either works or it doesn't. Since Samsung has refused to warranty this product I don't know how I'm going to get another plasma screen out of them. I'm calling the service center next week to see what can be done but I'm not expecting anything. I probably just threw good money out the door and I'm really unhappy with Samsung. This new plasma TV replaced a 17 year old RCA projection system that worked pretty darn well for all those years. I sure wouldn't have purchased this had I know it was going to last less than two years. Shame on you Samsung last one I buy from you.
Love this TV I got this TV last December and I am very impressed. I did a lot of research on different makes models and technologies hadn't bought a TV in 15 years and this stood out for me. I love the USB interface I can play many formats of videos and seamlessly hook up to my Droid to play videos from it. Lots of different interfaces which is nice because I have components I have collected over the years with different interfaces. The picture is great and the sound works well through my receiver. I would definitely recommend this.
Samsung PN50B650 50inch plasma TV I purchased the Samsung PN50B650 over a year ago and have been extremely pleased with its performance. The colors are vivid and the blacks pure. There is no distortion when viewing offaxis. As an additional bonus the stand allows the screen to rotate which I have utilized several times. It's not a necessity but an addition that when used is very convenient.Initially I wanted an LCD however after a great deal of research I settled on this plasma for several reasons1 Consumer Reports gave it some of the highest marks for any flatscreen TV. I trust their reviews and they have yet to steer me wrong with large purchases. This TV was certainly in the category and I can see why it received such high marks.2 Price Last December a similarsized LCD cost a lot more than what I paid for this TV. Granted with the evolution of LED and 3D technology generic LCDs costs have come down but I still find that the majority of plasmas allow for more TV for the same price.3 Size Dovetailing off the price issue I was able to buy a 50inch TV for the same price as 42 and 46 inch LCD competitors. Since this product is located in the living room a larger screen was nice. A bedroom or a small office might be too little space depending on how close you like your screen.4 Quality of Picture LCDs not counted LED and 3D have had some listed issues of view angles. Depending on the product this can be significant or nonexistant. The Samsung PN50650 doesn't suffer view angle issues and the colors and startlingly crisp.
