When it comes about describing the features of the Samsung 50 inch plasma PN50A760 to a regular customer, I imagine this imaginery conversation with a simple repetitive answer. It probably goes like this:

“Does it have Internet RSS service?” Answer, “Yes it has.”
“Does it have photo…” Interrupted by, “Yes it has.”
“Does it have net…” “Yes it has.”
“Does it have…” “Yep, whatever feature you ever think of placed in a current high end HDTV should have, it’s in there.”

But of course, the most important and fundamental feature that’s in there in this beautiful 50″ plasma, is superior picture quality, among the best that I have ever seen. That is the main reason to buy HDTV right?

Let’s go for the outlook first shall we? When you look at the product shots of the Touch of Color Samsung 50 inch plasma PN50A760, you will see the red accent that graces the top and bottom of the glossy, glassy black frame as well as the TV’s base. Just below the Samsung 50 inch plasma logo, the base ring does light up. But you can turn it off in the Samsung 50 inch plasma Setup menu if you like, also a melody that greets you when you turn the TV on. Of course you can disable it also. The ring we’ve mentioned earlier also serves as an On/Off button. Few years ago, plasma TVs had gained a reputation for highly reflective screens that glare in a bright room. To solve that problem, plasma manufacturers are employing anti-glare technologies in their displays. Samsung 50 inch plasma call it Ultra Filter Bright and it works quite well. This doesn’t mean that you won’t see a glare from a lamp placed directly behind you, but the reflection is muted. And when you turn on the TV, you shouldn’t notice it. But if you do, I suggest that you move the lamp or turn it off.

Even though its body is about four inches deep, the Samsung 50 inch plasma PN50A760 weighs over 102 pounds and requires two strong backs to safely lug it around. The monitor can swivel on its stand about 40 degrees left and right, which gives some flexibility on where you place it. On the left side of this HDTV you should find a small convenience connection panel with one HDMI input, one Composite Video In (with a stereo Audio In), one headphone jack (stereo mini) and a WiseLink Pro input (Samsung’s name for a USB 2.0 port), where you can access photo files (JPEG), audio files (MP3) and movie files to play on the TV. The rest of the connections are in the back and facing out. On this panel there are three more HDMIs (with one stereo Audio In matched to the HDMI 2 input), two Component Ins (YPbPr) with stereo Audio Ins, one VGA PC input with an Audio In (stereo mini-jack), one stereo analog Audio Out, and one digital Audio Out (optical).

But the long and the short of it is that the Samsung 50 inch plasma PN50A760 delivers a perfectly lovely image – picture quality that will make plasmas around the world heave their chests in pride. When watching this HDTV, you will be noticing yourself making small amusement hums.
