Comments about Samsung PN58C550 58" Plasma TV ATSC - NTSC - 16:9 - 1920 x 1080 - Surround:

Only complaint was it came with a base on it, which is great but no instructions on how to take the base off for wall mounting. After a little tinkering I was able to figure it out though.
Also depending upon the lighting in your room you will want to play around a little with the picture modes to find the right one for your taste.

very nice. give it a 4.5, no problems

Comments about Samsung PN58C550 58" Plasma TV ATSC - NTSC - 16:9 - 1920 x 1080 - Surround:

This product has been working very well so far. The audio is good but not optimal, but I guess that is standard with flat screen TVs. I've been annoyed that I cannot connect my windows laptop to the TV with a simple S-video cord as it does not have a slot, so I will have to buy a few things to connect my 13" macbook pro (mini display port to hdmi adapter, hdmi cable, and a toslink/optical audio cable).

Comments about Samsung PN58C550 58" Plasma TV ATSC - NTSC - 16:9 - 1920 x 1080 - Surround:

LCD-LED technology may get there soon, but right now, this is the way to go. There is not a single thing wrong with this TV. Great picture, no glare in direct sunlight, no blurring in fast action scenes, the image looks good and it doesn't have the 'soap opera' appearance of a lot of the 240 Hz LED TV's. Oh, and it's about 1/2 the price of a 55" LED!

Comments about Samsung PN58C550 58" Plasma TV ATSC - NTSC - 16:9 - 1920 x 1080 - Surround:

The picture quality is fabulous. I read many of the reviews on Plasma HD but could not believe how vivid the colors really are. You can tell the difference in picture quality from the digital stations as compared to the HD stations. But even the digital stations come in better than our previous Projection TV. We also love the size of the TV. If you have an older DVD player, cable box or home theater system, you may need to upgrade due to the connections may not work. We had to upgrade our cable box to an HD box and our home theater system was connected into our stereo receiver, which we will need to replace because the connections won't work with it.

I would buy this Plasma again
