Plasma Mega Values — The Samsung PN50B550 50 Inch HDTV Plasma Television
Introduction
Not long ago, I had the privilege of sitting down with the Samsung PN50B550 HDTV 50” Plasma TV, and I had the time of my life with this TV. It is simply too much TV for the price; I just don’t know how Samsung does it. This is one of my favorite plasma TVs: great price, great performance and a great picture – I just like it. Want to know why I like this to TV so much? Read on and find out.
Features / Performance
It has a large viewing screen (now that’s out of the way). The PN50B550 offers all of the usual suspect features of other high quality plasma TV, and another one or two I think you should know about as well. One is its very convenient swivel base; not very sexy – I know, however, it is one feature that you will find very useful. Just wait till the sunlight invades your views room – you’ll wonder how you could survive without it; as with all plasma TVs, sunlight reflection can cause a lot of glare on this TV. Butm the glare was considerably less than I have seen on other plasma TVs.
Another thing I really like about the Samsung PN50B550 is that it doesn’t produce a lot of heat; in case you didn’t know, plasma TVs usually get extremely hot. Using some new ‘Green’ technology that provides for excellent performance – without all of the heat- Samsung has created a plasma TV that is in a class by itself. Other manufacturer’s TVs will definitely have to catch up in this department.
The remote-control unit that ships with this television is simple to use and connects easily to other devices. The remote-control code search capability and will work with nearly all source devices.
Picture quality on the PN50B550 is simply superb. HDTV viewing is crisp and vivid; colors are true and sharp. Blacks, white and grays are displayed to near perfection; you the color reproduction is second to none. Response times and refresh rates for the Samsung PN50B550 are excellent and there is no hint or sign of ghosting or motion blur. I have only witnessed two or three Plasma TVs with better performance – they all cost much more than the Samsung PN50B550.
Conclusion
The Samsung PN50B550 is an outstanding value in a Plasma TV, with a great price and even better picture. If you want a great TV, and don’t want to spend too much – this Plasma TV is an excellent choice.
