 Awesome plasma - great price September 14, 2008
I am very pleased with this Samsung plasma. The picture is excellent, and HD signals are reproduced with incredible accuracy and color. Although the built in speakers are just average, I would not expect more. You really need external speakers to improve the sound quality. I use an analog RCA stereo cable out to an NAD receiver powering some decent quality book shelf speakers, and the sound is excellent. I expect that a good home theater set up will be even better, taking advantage of HDMI connectivity and surround sound.
The only real complaint, and it is minor, is the antiglare performance, which is poor. We have a bank of three windows on the opposite wall from the TV, and on bright sunny days, the reflection from those windows is a significant distraction. You can train your eyes to "look through" to the scene on the TV, but I will need to buy simple light blocking roll down shades for those windows. The glare is not a problem at night, on cloudy days, or if you view the TV from an angle where you cannot see the window reflections.
Overall, I give this set 4.5 out of 5. The deduction is for the ineffective anti glare. Otherwise, I am very happy with this TV, and have no regrets. You will love the picture, and the price!
 Great TV and great doing business with Amazon September 10, 2008

Very happy with this TV. After a month of use the picture is flawless. This was my first big screen and first bit ticket purchase from Amazon. The transaction went very smoothly with Ceva delivering and set up to make sure the TV worked. The price has also dropped twice in the the last 30 days and both times Amazon refunded the difference with no problems.
I really like this new way of shopping and have already made another big ticket purchase (a Pioneer AVR) from Amazon. You can really save a lot of money over the big box retailers.
Well worth the $$ September 9, 2008

Teriffic buy, and Amazon's "30 day price match" made it even better. The price dropped $100 a few days after purchase, and Amazon refunded me the difference with no problems. The picture is unbelieveable, and the settings screens are very easy to use. The swivle base is a very handy feature, especially when setting up the cables to the back of the TV.

Thanks to Electronics Expo catching the duplicate order of this 50" samsung TV (PN50A550). I was also able to call them to change my order to a 50" Panasonic TV (TH-50PZ800U) a few days later. The sales person promised to delivery it the next day but it never arrived. However, I was able to negotiate it to a lower price (plus two HDMI 1.3 cables). Again he promised the delivery on Sat. To my surprise, it arrived two days earlier on Thur! The TV was brand new and it works great for about one month now. I highly recommend this seller!
