Samsung 42-inch plasma TV Feb 03, 2010
Great TV! Arrived quickly. Looks great, wonderful picture (720p is eye-popping), adequate sound from the built-in speakers, swivels generously on the included stand. Like other plasma TVs, it does generate a fair amount of heat, but in the cold Northeast this time of year, that's a bonus.

Great TV, I love it! Dec 21, 2009
I did all sorts of research on the internet for weeks before I purchased this TV. I have had this TV since 2007 and I couldn't have made a better choice for me. The colors are stunning and the audio is great. The only thing that I didn't take into consideration was the possibility of burn ins. I once left a DVD menu on and fell asleep. 8 hours later I woke up and was freaking out. I ran the wipe out mode while I was at work for 8 1/2 hours and when I came back, there was no burn in. Occasionally if you have a channel on the logo might appear on the screen slightly when you turn off the tv, but it's nothing to worry about, it goes away, trust me, I watch A TON of tv shows and movies. I also have HDMI out from my computer to my TV and it looks awesome, never had a problem with burn ins in that area either. Overall, I'd recommend this TV to anyone, honestly. Don't freak out about burn ins if that is your main worry, the picture quality is so much better than DLP and LCD in my opinion, it's totally worth it.

Went off exactly after one year Nov 29, 2008
I bought this TV last August from Best Buy and two days before it went off. I hear a click sound when I turn on, but nothing comes up. I even use a surge protector power supply.
I used to have TVs lasting more than 20 years, but I am surprised to see this Big Brand TV going off in just one year. Unfortunately, I didnt buy the extended warranty. The charges towards fixing this issue seems to be around 40% of TV cost. I called up Samsung also if they can help with my problem. They told the same story what Best Buy told me, that fix up an appointment with technical engineer and I need to bear the whole cost, as I am out of Warranty. But they keep their mouth shout, when I ask why did this fault happen.

So Beware of this problem, before buying this TV. I am totally disappointed with purchasing this TV.

Absolutely Beautiful Oct 14, 2008
I've owned this set for about 10 months now, and it never ceases to amaze me with its picture and ease of use. Simply put, it's an outstanding HDTV, especially for the price.

The color is what strikes me first. It's drastically better than almost every LCD set I've come across that's been below $3,000. In general, plasma tv's produce better color output than LCD's, so that in and of itself isn't really surprising. What IS surprising, though, is just how much more vivid a picture this set has than almost all LCD's and plasmas anywhere remotely in and out of its price range. My dad paid twice as much for his 40" LCD 1080p, and all he does is comment on how pretty my tv looks everytime he comes over. Same with a close friend of mine who also owns an LCD that cost more than twice as much. I never realized how beautiful reds, yellows, blues, and greens were until I got this set. Yellow has become my new favorite color, strangely enough, because it looks so bloody brilliant on this set. Bumblebee from Transformers blows my mind every time I watch it. It's absolutely beautiful.

In terms of clarity, it's again a stunning product. Blu-Rays shine on this set, and I'm constantly showing off Transformers and Planet Earth to the delight of my friends. Also, the contrast on this plasma outshines any and all LCD screens I've tried out, too.

I can't comment on the sound because I use my surround sound set-up at all times, but the three or four times I've utilized the factory speakers, they've been fine.

My only major gripe is that the factory remote doesn't have preset buttons for each of the input selections. There's only one button, and you have to cycle through the input types until you reach your desired destination. I ended up purchasing the Harmony One remote which already has those inputs programmed in. Sweet!

The only other concern I have had is screen burn-in, which has happened on occasion. I'm fairly mindful of it and whatever burn-in my tv has received has always worn off after an hour or so, but I imagine if you play video games with HUDs on them for many many hours at a time, this could become an issue. I haven't had any problems with my games (all three of the "next gen" systems look and play great on this thing), but I am not as hardcore a gamer as I used to be.

Overall, this set is dynamically beautiful, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic picture that will wow you and your friends and family for years to come.

Love it Jul 20, 2008
After reviewing many TVs, I decided to go with this one. I've had it for 4 months now and love it.

One bit of advice for those about to break into the HD world. When we first plugged in the TV, I thought I did something wrong because the picture didn't take up the entire screen area. What I found out later is that non-HD channels only display in a portion of the screen. I wish there were more HD channels to display on this great TV.
