"My husband and I conducted exhaustive research before deciding on this model. I thought 60" would just be too huge and it turns out, it is great mounted on our wall, almost like being in the movies. We had it mounted a bit higher than the installer recommended; I was hoping to avoid daytime glare. The TV is in a large room surrounded by windows and bright light. It does have some glare in the daytime, but not more than our other TV it replaced. At night, though, it is AWESOME.
We bought it from an on-line retailer, including the wall mounting bracket. It was delivered within a few days, the freight delivery people came in, unboxed it for us, we inspected it and plugged it in and approved it before the freight guys left.
We then hired a professional to install it on our wall. I think this was the least expensive approach, and also the best outcome.
We're still learning about all the features and what it can do. We've had it about 4 months. I'm printing off the large user manual so I can really get everything figured out, like the exercise show options, web browsing, firmware updates, etc.
It's great for watching English premier league soccer (action), the preset color adjustment for movies is nice. It is so clear and precise, I can see all the make-up of CNN pundits, more than I want to see, really.
We were a bit leery about screen burn, but the TV shifts images around all the time, to avoid that. No problem.
We are very happy with this TV and Samsung support, especially their LiveChat where you get someone immediately; they are polite, and competent.
I just came back from some travel and was surprised how good and big the images looked on my return.
Well worth the investment."
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

"Great plasma TV! Picture crisp, sharp and bright. Easy to calibrate, great smart features and apps.
TV speakers not the best- if not set properly they produce a buzz or distort, even at moderate volumes.Sound thin or tinny.
Ultra thin profile for plasma with a classy look. Cheaper than the 8000 series with almost identical performance and without the hoaky motion remote/voice features.

PostedDecember 9, 2012
"We bought this to upgrade from a 50" Samsung 720p plasma that was 4 years old. Based on our experience and consistently high Consumer's Report ratings, we stayed brand loyal. We just watched our first blu-ray 3D movie last night ("Finding Nemo") and it was absolutly fantastic! The 3D was superb and performed flawlessly on our BD-E5900 Samsung player. We had rented Men In Black 3-3D from DirectTv and we noticed some slight jerkiness in certain scenes, which we can only guess is from the recorded streaming video on the DVR, as the Blu-ray performed perfectly. Our TV was purchased from this site, and delivered and set-up in just a few days. It was extremely easy to learn to operate all the features. We did order the optional bluetooth keyboard, as using the onscreen keyboard with the remote control is really tedious. The only complaint I have is that this model has only 3 HDMI connectors and since we have Apple TV as well, we have to use the same connector for it and the blue ray player- a minor inconvenience, but still, I thought it worth mentioning, for those with lots of accessories that need plug-ins. We chose this model after comparing to the 8000 and 6000 series. This model has all the features of the top of the line 8000 series except one less USB port and is about $400-$600 less expensive. To sum up-
Pros: Same features as more expensive 8000 series (minus 1 USB port), flawless beautiful picture, very nice looking package with chrome legged swivel stand, excellent TV for the price.
Cons: Requres optional bluetooth keyboard if you want to use the online features easily. Could use more HDMI connectors.

"We purchased our Samsung 60 inch TV a couple of months ago and have been extremely happy with it. The TV is very slim with true deep blacks which makes for a more natural realistic picture. Plasma is by far the best for watching sports. The actual "smart" aspect of the TV wasn't actually a requirement for me.. but after using it the OTT stuff is awesome and we use it quite often. In closing - the TV is expensive, but well worth it.."
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, great for sports

"The previous TV I owned just did not match up to the quality of a Samsung TV. Everything about the Samsung blows away it's competitors. Connecting to the internet is a breeze and the apps are just to many to count. I was totally amazed at how easy it was to connect my computer to the Allshare function and view my pictures and videos. Not only that but internet browsing is a feature that allows you to go to your favorite web sites without having to go to your computer. You won't be disappointed purchasing a Samsung Smart TV."

"I only have this TV for a few days, but it has been a really great performer, so far. I was a bit leery about getting a plasma model over an LED-LCD type like the rest of my other sets but after reading all I could find I decided to purchase this one and we are really pleased with everything at this point. It replaced a 47" Toshiba LCD and even my wife noticed a big improvement. I will write again after more experience with it."

"I upgraded from an LCD TV LN-T4665F model to this Plasma. I was very skeptical at first because of the notion in burning in the image and the length of life it can have and so forth. Though all the features it has to prevent it from happening were bar none.
I would highly recommend this unit. The picture quality and the sense of you being in the movie or video game is amazing. The 3D that is possible is also excellent. I would like it to have an auto detect perhaps it'll be easier to choke 3D though over all it's amazing."

"The picture and overall and features of this TV are great, although I have not experienced the 3D yet. The speakers would be better if they faced the front of the TV instead of downward, so it sounds a bit muddled and empty. I paired this with an f5900 blur ray player and 450 sound bar with the wireless sub woofer, and they all work great together. Funny, you get a wide viewing angle side to side, but the picture dims when you sit below it."

Best overall plasma HDTV 2012

PostedOctober 25, 2012

"Great picture quality, bright, great black level, and good looking tv! Display Good non-high def programmings . Negatives: not enough hdmi, USB ports versus other competitor. At first I was going to buy the Panny GT50 series but ended up buying this Samsung and I'm glad I did bc so far I'm really happy with the purchase. Does everything the Panny does and more. The Panny may have a slightly better black level but it has a really out dated interface and not user friendly like is Samsung."
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight

Color Banding

"This display looks fantastic with Blu-Ray source material. It looks very good with live sports via DirecTV don’t see any motion blur. The 3-D works well without any problems, the material that I have watched via DTV doesn’t have much pop-out material but good overall depth quality, I have not yet watched a 3-D Blu-Ray. One nice feature of the display is the ability to adjust the overall depth perception of the 3-D, and it works quite well.
Even with this displays good characteristics I have one problem that is quite bothersome … Color Banding with DTV shows and movies. I know this is a DTV problem but still find in annoying. On dark scenes you will see halos around different shades of black. I’m guessing this is due to the compression method that DTV uses, not enough information is passed out to the display, so it does the best it can with the information provided.
My 9-year old RPTV didn’t display this problem not sure why, but my 30” tube HDTV also has this problem. I don’t know of any solution to this color banding other than not to expect too much from dark movies from DTV. This problem is far less evident with Prime Time TV on the major networks. Also coming from the RPTV this display seems brighter even after doing all my adjustments with a calibration disk, so I know brightness and contrast are set properly. Attaching bias lighting to the back of the set really helps when watching in a dark room; fooling your eyes into not seeing as bright of display, I highly recommend bias lighting.
Overall I really enjoy this TV since most of my viewing habits are Sports, Blu-Rays/DVD’s and the news. I would definitely recommend this set to others, since most the people I know aren’t as picky as I am with the color banding."
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color

"I was not sure about plasma technology as I have only ever purchased LCD or LED, but after looking at the TV on display at several local stores I decided to pull the trigger. I was worried about reflections in my family room, a lack of brightness compared to LED's and Panasonic Plasma's, and burn in.
I have had the TV for two weeks now and I am very happy with the product. There are reflections on the screen during the daytime, but they are about the same as the previous Samsung 52" LCD I had in the room. I have noticed the screen is not as bright as my LCD or LED televisions and noticed the TV was not as bright as the Panasonic Plasma it was next to in the store on the same video settings. I was expecting less brightness due to the technology, but more would have helped some with reflections. I was worried about burn in with the plasma with my Xbox and some channel logos, but so far I have had zero issues with burn in or image retention.
I am extremely pleased with the image quality compared to my LCD and LED televisions. The colors, Contrast, 3D, Smart TV, refresh rate, and black level are all impressive. Although I am happy with the 3D, I was upset at the model 4100 3D glasses provided with the set. A previous 6500 LED television I purchased came with a pair of 3050 glasses, which seemed to fit better and folded to fit better into a drawer. Overall I am pleased with the TV and look forward to watching it."
Pros: Realistic color, refresh rate, 3d, black levels, contrast, smart tv
Cons: reflections, brightness (during daytime), 3d glasses

"Do not purchase this tv or other plasmas if you do not want to be regulated on what and how you watch certain channels or programs. This is due to burn in problems with them and this is not being covered in their warranty."
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
