Samsung PN50A550, A Plasma 50 inch HDTV

By:TheAdmin

When choosing an HDTV there are quite a few things to consider before buying. Some of the biggest things to look at are image quality, design and cost. The Samsung PN50A550 Plasma 50 inch scores well in those three areas. It is also important to look at the brand and its history. Samsung has been a very respect TV maker for many years and is one of the best in my opinion, so that definitely gives more to this television.

First is image quality. The Samsung PN50A550 Plasma 50 inch Widescreen HDTV with 1080p resolution is big enough to transform any space into the ultimate home theater. These native resolution of 1,920×1,080 (aka 1080p) distinguishes the PN50A550 from a few of the less-expensive plasma 50 inch out there. This particular TV can display 1080p resolution, or full HD. There is no higher resolution available from any TV right now so obviously this is the best the market has to offer. Not only is this HDTV capable of the highest resolution available, but it also has some of the most accurate colors of any HDTV.

Overall, the Samsung PN50A550 Plasma 50 inch produces an excellent picture, with highly accurate colors, very little noise, solid processing and its can deliver relatively deep blacks

Now about the design. The classically attractive Samsung PN50A550 Plasma 50 inch looks almost exactly like last year’s FP-T5084, although it’s a tiny bit taller and narrower overall due to the sliverlike hidden speakers mounted along the bottom of the panel as opposed to the sides. The frame is entirely gloss-black, about average thickness for a plasma (heavier plasmas can’t achieve the thin bezels found on lighter LCDs), and there’s a defeatable blue accent light below the Samsung logo. The pedestal stand allows a modest swivel range.

Including the stand, the Samsung PN50A550 Plasma 50 inch measures 48.5 inches wide by 32.7 inches tall by 12.6 inches deep and weighs 91.3 pounds, while when divested of stand it comes in at 48.5 by 30.3 by 3.8 inches and 82.5 pounds. It’s compatible with the company’s motorized, articulated wall-mount, model PN50A550S1F ($1,999 list), as well as third-party mounts.

Samsung has redesigned its remotes, and for the most part we like the new clicker better. The buttons are larger and every one is backlit, and we like the dedicated. The redesign extended to the menu system, which is sleeker than before and blessed with big, highly legible text set against transparent backgrounds that occupy almost the whole screen. Getting around is easy, there’s helpful explanatory text along the bottom, and we dug the context-sensitive menu that would pop up occasionally to provide more options. Overall, it’s one of the best-designed and most-attractive menu systems we’ve seen on any HDTV, and Samsung PN50A550 Plasma 50 inch really makes setup a breeze–except the confusing picture mode arrangement .

About the price ? With performance like that, you will agree that the price of Samsung PN50A550 Plasma 50 inch was very competitive.  Samsung PN50A550 is a must buy for 50″ plasma” !
