Samsung PN58A650 58-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV with RED Touch of Color
Before purchasing Samsung PN58A650, I had checked out comparable models from Panasonic and Pioneer. Overall, Samsung had better features and a lower price. Picture quality was comparable to the best. I had also looked at 120Hz LCD. Overall, Plasma had far superior picture compared to LCD (Better contrast, vibrant colors and unlike LCD there was no pixeling)
I ordered the Samsung on Amazon. The price was good. It was at least $600 lower than the best price I could have got from a local retailer. Later, Amazon also matched the price drop on their website (within 1 month of shipping) and refunded the difference. I only had to send them an e-mail request and within 1 hour, the difference was credited back. Can’t expect this from a big box retailer!
The only complaint I have is that- at the time of placing the order, Amazon confirmed that TV was in stock, but they did not ship it out for 5 days. Next, the shipper did not bother to call us to schedule delivery for another 3-4 days while the TV was received in their warehouse. Finally, I had to contact them through Amazon to arrange delivery. Apart from that, the white glove delivery was great as promised.
It took a few hours to get familiar with the menus and setup procedure. Samsung could have made the process easier by including the manual on a DVD. The picture quality is excellent. The TV looks very attractive with the touch of red bezel. Our TV is located right across from a large window. The reflection is not as bad. The TV can be swiveled on the stand to optimize the viewing angle. Overall, it is a great TV at a good price.
