I received this TV last week and so far it has been AWESOME! I would have given it 5 stars but the sound quality is a little muffled. It doesn’t bother us much since we plan on hooking up a surround sound system but if you are using the TV’s speakers exclusively, you may want to reconsider. Picture quality is amazing…best I’ve seen and I did a TON of research before deciding on this model. I was back and forth between plasma and LCD and I’m so glad I went plasma. We have the TV in a bright room and the new filters seem to work great. Not much glare at all. Definitely no more glare than the 36 Sony Wega tube TV this Samsung replaced. If you are not picky about the sound, this is a great choice. After a week, we are not disappointed!

I researched a lot of TVs and narrowed it down to the Panasonic Viera 50″ and the Samsung 50″ Plasma. I had seen the A550 Samsung for a long time and when I was finally ready to purchase I noticed the B550 had come out. This model is just a beautiful television. The picture is very crisp and sharp. The blacks are nice and rich. My favorite feature is the swivel base. I was debating whether I wanted to invest in a swivel wall mount or not, but I knew I wanted to be able to view it from angles in the kitchen and towards the outside of my house. This was the only TV this size with a swivel base. Since receiving my TV, I’ve watched movies, basic cable, HD cable, and playedmy Wii on it and I haven’t found one issue. I highly recommend this television.
When purchasing a TV like this, I wanted to go online to get a good deal. I also wanted a merchant I trusted because this is such a large purchase. […] I purchased this TV with no tax and no shipping, which right there saved me about $200. I wouldn’t have walked out of best buy for less than $1800 and I got this TV for $1360. I chose basic delivery to keep it free and the guy wheeled it right into my house next to where I was going to keep it. It was delivered within just a few days after ordering. Very fast and reliable shipping!
I would definitely buy this TV again […] Can’t wait for football season!!

This is a great TV. I was torn between buying last years model the pn50a vs this years pn50b. I decided to get the newer one because its supposed to use half the energy. The pn50B is dramatically cooler to the touch, front and back than last years model.
Picture quality is amazing. The colors and clarity from blue ray and HD Comcast programming in my house is better than I have seen on most other HD TV’s at the box stores.
There is more glare on the screen than my old HD Sony tube it has replaced.
Overall, I am very very happy with this plasma and highly recommend it.
