"This TV has a stunning picture and is just plain awesome. The only slight drawbacks are that it does not have a lot of features (to be expected with this level of TV) and the speakers are not that great."

Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color

The only (and I mean ONLY) drawback to the tv is the speakers. I will definately be adding a sound bar or surround sound, which I planned on doing anyway."

"We've had this TV for about a month now and are very pleased with it. The picture was excellent right out of the box. I don't share others disdain for the built in speakers, they sound fine and are plenty loud enough. While it doesn't have the Samsung apps, the Samsung Bluray player I purchased does have them which makes that a moot point. The only drawback is the reflectivity of the screen in daylight but that can be controlled with blinds on the windows so it's not a big problem. Overall a great TV for a great price!"

"Looked around for probably a year for what was the best value on a 50" or larger. Everything I read indicates plasmas perform the best so I really wanted to go this route. Our room has many windows so a plasma seemed out of the question.

After a lot of fence sitting I found this tv at great price.

WOW! Awesome picture - even during the day! The colors are realistic and clear, even with most settings turned down during the "break in period". From my experience plasma works even in bright rooms.

I'm not experiencing any of the "buzz" others have complained about. What an absolute great purchase, everything is awesome!"

"I recently bought this HDTV during the holiday season, and I must say it was an excellent choice for the price. This 58'' delivers exceptional HD video and sound. Although it can use some additional features such as apps and more HDMI ports, this HDTV exceeds the expectations of most T.V. buyers. The design is also a great feature, but that is expected as almost any Samsung product has an exceptional design."

"I have had this TV for a little over a year.Have had to have the plasma display replaced twice, due to the Red and Green Pixels through out the display,three times have had to have the voltage adjusted.I fact the next service call they have to replace the entire TV.

Defective design

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

"I am now having this unit fixed for the 3rd time for the exact same issue. On any light shaded background the picture will have a bluish or magenta bleeding effect that spreads from upper right hand of the screen to the middle. Any other background it's fine. Unfortunately, you'll realize how many ads and shows have a light shaded background (ie: snow, clouds, solid shades, etc). Other than that it's a decent tv."

Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive

Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations

has audio but no video

"I bought this TV last year 11/25/10 and placed it in our guest room. I'm gonna say this TV has been used less than 20 times since the purchased date. I was happy with this TV until, well, this year on the Thanksgiving day 11/25/11. The TV made a pop noise and its display went blank/black while watching a movie with some friends & guests. I can still hear the audio but can't see any picture. I tried to test with other devices & cables but no luck. It can't even display the menu/volume indicator, etc. I am disappointed about this TV. I have 5 Samsung TVs in my house & most of them are older than this TV and they are still in the great condition (the oldest one is 7+ yrs). Maybe mine was a lemon one..... but c'mon, the TV is not even a year old and already has the problem???"

Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight

Cons: Poor quality

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
