User Reviews Chose a plasma over LCD    I researched and looked at every LCD and plasma on the market. I chose this plasma because I find the picture on the plasma is more natural looking than that of LCDs on some content, the better off-center viewing of the plasma, and the good motion response characteristics. Negatives are higher energy use than LCDs, greater heat output, image retention inconvenience, and no high altitude use, which is not an issue for me. I chose this plasma as the best bang for the buck. Most equivalent to the Panasonic V10, but hundreds of dollars cheaper. I like the looks of this set better as well. The picture on both is outstanding. The heat on the set is not as much as I had feared. The HD picture is great. SD not so much, though acceptable. My brothers Samsung LCD looks better on SD content to be honest. The anti-glare screen is better at reducing glare than I expected, based on reviews. It is quite good. The sound is also better than I expected IF you adust the equalizer and boost the bass and midrange. Picture control options are excellent. Blacks are excellent. No humming issues at all. Overall, very happy with the purchase. I did use the CNET settings as a starter, but ended up adjusting slightly as they produce an almost sepia tone on black and white content and grays. I actually purchased at Pacific Sales. Got a great buy and they delivered and set up the set for $1028 and that included CA tax and $25 mandatory CA disposal fee. I also purchased an LG BD370 from Amazon and am happy with that as well. Also got a Pioneer Elite thx receiver. Very happy with all three. Update: Sound on the set rattles quite a bit - very annoying. Standard Definition is not a strong point, but still happy with everything else besides sound rattle and the SD picture. :2011-12-10 18:31:14 Great buy    I bought this as a gift for my husband. He was absolutely thrilled! Love it! :2011-12-10 18:30:53 old buck    This product is exactly as I researched. CU had it rated very high and the price and service from Amazon was excellent. :2011-12-10 18:30:33 Best Bang for the Buck! Beautiful & Amazing TV!    After many hours of research, LCD vs Plasma, this Samsung Plasma vs Panasonic G10, I finally gave in and got the Samsung PNB650. Another big reason why I chose this was Consumer Reports high remarks and it definitely fit the bill. I bought it during the Black Friday Sale and couldn't be more happier with my purchase plus I got the 36 months no Interest Financing along which made it even a better buy. Pros: -Basically Everything I can think of when thinking of a TV! Cons: -A bit of glare, but definitely not to the degree where you can't watch regular TV. It's actually not a big deal for me unless I'm looking for reflection. -Speakers are a bit dull, but I got the Sony Center Speaker HTCT-100 hooked up, so I actually don't use the TV speakers. Overall definitely recommended! :2011-12-10 18:30:17 One Month of use; Excellent So Far    I've only had the TV for a month and it replaced and older 1040i 42 inch Hitachi. The Hitachi was good and I thought you would never be able to tell the diffrence between 720p/1080i but it is very clear that the superior detail in this set stands apart from my previous one. Colors seem very accurate right out of the box, the flesh tones look good. Some people say that the picture emphasizes red but I do not see it. The sound processors are very good and create a nice 5.1 soundstage from broadcast programs using the TosLink connector to the sound processor. I do not yet have a Blue-Ray player to test out but my current STB unit, a Denon 2900, in 480p mode looks very nice, has a clean picutre and details the film grain from the shoot stock. I hope to purchase an OPPO BP-23SE sometime this year and see how Blue Ray translates on the 1080P set. High Def ATSC Sports broadcasts are magnificent, Sunday Night Football is like being on the sidelines, I am drooling in anticipation for February and the Winter Olympics. The remote is fairly well laid out and is backlit, on the downside there is no future program preview / info aspect under the info control, you cannot move forward in time to see what programs are going to be broadcast from the program listed immediately after the one you are currently watching. For you cable users this may not be a big deal but for ATSC viewers there is no way to use the OSP to see what's on later than the one immediately psat the show you are watching. I've briefly experimented with the media play aspects of the unit, I like the idea of using a pen drive to watch movies transferred from a hard drive to TV but the Nero MP4 format is not supported in DD AC3 configurations, only stereo. AVI conversions do not seem to hold the video format well and are of considerably less quality than the MP4 format and you can only FF at 2x rate from Media Play Mode. I will report more once I get familiarized with the set-up of the TV. For the money this TV cannot be beat, it's a plasma and a power hog but still has better blacks and viewing angles than cuttent LCD models. If you don't run this thing all day you won't notice it on you power bill. :2011-12-10 18:30:04 spectacular purchase    Well, first off theres to many positives to say .. ill skip to the negatives: None... ive done the research and found no buzzing, no problems with CS (as some reported) im guessing a pre-installed update fixed the issue. As soon as i un-boxed it i connected the internet to use the auto update function and it said i had the news firmware. I received the item 2 days in advance when it was being delivered on Jan 6th. I ordered mine Dec 28, shipped on the 29 , got in town on Jan 4th but choose Jan 5th delivery. The TV is spectacular, crystal clear picture.. i read a few places online that users posted there calibration settings but found it better playing with the functions myself. Its not difficult, just turn an HD show like the history channel in HD and set the picture to 16x9 and calibrate the colors from there. It has a description on what everything does and just calibrate using you own performance/eye. I personally liked Dynamic mode and switched a few settings and i was ready to go. Every setting including custom mode stores your settings. You can also select Movie mode and alter movie mode to your liking. CS aka cinema smooth only operates on blue ray movies including xyzx color space. (for blue rays and PS3 games).Ive had no issues reported. I can honestly say i feel i made a good choice. Ive gone from a Sony 46inch XBR , Samsung DLP pedestal model (limited edition touch screen) to my new one PN50B650 plasma is the best purchase ive made.. Even my father whos not into technology commented on how real it looks. The blacks are dark and it mimics a CRT TV when watching stander programing not in HD. Now i know why everyone says the picture is incredible. The TOC isn't a big deal is barely noticeable and blends in with the black unless your up close. You really see the difference of a 3million to 1 contrast ratio...and for the warry, dont be afraid of a plasma TV. E very connection requires you to customizes your settings. For example My PS3 and HD Cable are running on HDMI's, which need to be customize. Everything you connected requires you to alter the color and picture settings, but once its done its stored. the service was excellent and im soon but a TOC samsung 27 inch for my PC next week. I do recommend setting the borders of the picture when viewing 4.3 programing to light and turn on pixel shift, but do not use screen fit because it disables pixel shift (helps reduce burn ins). They also have a built in white screen that washes out any after effects like logos or small images making it more resistance to burn ins. Im happy i shell out the money! Blue Ray movies look phenomenal! heres a bonus: go to google and type in " samsung content library" its the first selection.. its an official samsung site where you can download art gallery picks, sea, animals etc for free!! download it onto your USB and plug it on the side of your set and the TV will auto detect it and prompt you to choose 3 options. Choose "my content" > gallery> than pick a file... it shows a slide show with 1080p pictures with music. Ive played with the internet feature and its not as slow as people say it is.. :" its decent" just not blazing fast, i guess it depends on the speed of your net. update: buy the wireless N card attachment (its proprietary) but speeds up your widgets.. :2011-12-10 18:29:39 A prize for me !    After weeks of searching and review reading I finally found a tv with a great value. The high def (my cable service is not even true hi def - 1080p)image is eye-poping. The standard signal and the high def through coaxial cable has a decent image as well, although it's kind hard to enjoy standard signal when you see the superb high def of this tv. Sound is very good. The so called buzzing has not been an issue for me at all, unless you mute the tv and stick your ears on it. I don't understand how such a thing would disturb someone... I love this tv. :2011-12-10 18:29:22 Great TV at a great price,    Wonderful TV. Clear, vibrant picture. Deep blacks. Wide viewing angle. DVD's looks great. Best bang for the buck out there. Add to that Amazons two year interest free financing and free in home delivery and setup and you can't go wrong. Very happy with my choice. :2011-12-10 18:29:02 Great product    I got this TV for new year's. I was amazed by the depth and fine colors. Haven't tried internet and games, but definitely top of the class and recommend to anyone looking for a plasma. Was delivered and installed promptly by Amazon. :2011-12-10 18:28:49 Great TV, Samsung rocks! The blacks on the Plasma kill LCD!    Omg not the buzz! Not the buzz! Ok people relax, there's no buzz. Seriously not at all. With so much ambient noise in the world, it's funny that we a select group of techies have homed their ears into the faint hum created by the back of a TV set. It does not buzz at all, you really can't hear it, my Ps3 makes more noise. If you are looking at buying this TV, throw the buzzing out of your considerations for this TV. It doesn't buzz. I will say that if you get a defective set, you might have all sorts of problems ranging from bad sounds to bad picture. This could happen with anything you buy from TVs to Toasters. What makes a great company is their ability to fix these inherent product problems. Samsung has been a leader in customer satisfaction for years. Just google them up now, they are always in the top three! Amazon is great they gave me 3 years no interest payments on this TV, it was delivered two weeks before it was supposed to be. I got a free blu-ray playerwith the TV( got it literally two days after I ordered), which I sold. The shipping company Amazon uses kinda sucks, their tracking reports are always behind, they never know where your stuff is. You have to stay on top of them, but given that it's free and the TV weights about 100pnds shipped, I can't complain too too much. They aren't Fedex that's for sure, and if you don't call them every couple days to check on your package it might get shipped to the wrong place (happened to my brother). The TV is beautiful. The colors are much better than it's LCD counterpart. Don't be afraid of the plasma, it rocks! In the store you might not notice how nice it is because retailers jack the colors and brightness up on the all sets. Once I got my TV home I changed the settings to the ones I saw in the AVS forum and I pretty much always leave it in movie mode. I don't use the cini-view for the blu-rays, I know some people complained that it brightened the picture. I just never use it. It already looks so fantastic. One negative I will say which is inherent with all plasmas is that there is some image retention. It goes away but if you leave your TV on still images(etc.) and turn it off, the images will stay until you turn the TV on and get a picture moving on there. Also, if you have a solid white background and black texts come over it, the picture bands horizontally. It's annoying for sure but every technology has it's draw backs, I guess. Overall, though this is the best picture in the price range...you won't find a brighter Plasma with better blacks. Samsung has really covered all the bases here. Plasma might be a dying technology but everything will be outdated at some point. That's the nature of the beast. I mean they just invented SUPER-HD in Japan and 3Ds also on the horizon. So who cares? This TV beats LCD for picture quality and black levels. And for just a thinner screen LED is too expensive. The room I'm in isn't super bright but I couldn't ever see the brightness of this TV being an issue. The anti-glare coating rocks, btw. My LCD computer monitor gets more glare. Also it adds another tinge of Red to the TV. Btw, I never use any of the widgets on the TV or anything...I've heard they are slow but I can't speak to that. :2011-12-10 18:28:35 so far    the touch of color is pretty subtle to me, and glare is really not a problem. then again, i don't have a lot of natural light coming in my place, so YMMV. the extra connections are fantastic, and the tv itself has a very competent media player built in. i just plug in an external hard drive through one of the USB ports with all those movies and tv shows i downl....i mean, legally obtained, and the tv can pretty much play them all. well, haven't tried some of the more exotic formats. divx and xvid work fine. sound is pretty tinny - but why wouldn't you run the sound to a home theater system of some kind? the remote is a bit ridiculous. it's well-laid out and all, but it's about as long as my forearm. haven't tried the wireless internet function - the transmitter you have to buy extra, and it's unreasonably expensive. also, the ps3 handles that duty. all in all - a sleek, beautiful product that flawlessly delivers. wow, i should write copy for samsung. seriously - very happy w/ this beauty. we're in a relationship now. i updated facebook. don't tell my girlfriend. :2011-12-10 18:28:02 So far so good...    Brightness- If you are worried about brightness then worry no more this unit is as bright as you would possibly want it. Buzzing Sound- I was a little worried about this one, but upon listening to the unit after a 3 hour movie the buzz was only noticeable if i put my ear up to it. Only way i can hear it is on Mute, yeah not gonna happen. Glare- I don't have this set near any windows so i don't know about natural light, when i have all the lights on in my room, yeah you can see some glare, enough to bother me...no. but when I'm really watching TV the lights are either off or almost all off so not bothersome. Picture Quality- looks great, not going to get into it like many of the other reviews but its beautiful. For the price, the picture quality and just the overall look of the unit i would definitely recommend. Thank you amazon and Samsung. :2011-12-10 18:27:39 Awesome TV    I couldn't be happier with this TV! I also considered the Panasonic G Series but for my taste the colors looked much more realistic on the Samsung plus it was cheaper and the base swivels! I researched a lot of information online between LCD and plasma and am very glad I chose plasma. To me it looks like what TV is supposed to, (more CRT like) instead of the somewhat "fake" appearance with LCDs. When I was shopping locally I found retailers really like to push LCDs...probably b/c they cost more and they can get more on 1 truck b/c of the weight, but for people who take the time to investigate the differences, plasma is more often the winner. The main differences are well known and can be summed up fairly simply; cost(plasma wins), motion(plasma wins), weight(LCD wins), color(plasma wins), screen reflection(LCD wins)...energy consumption(LCD wins), but if you're really concerned about being Green you should be outside or doing some Green activity and not inside watching TV. There is some noticable reflection during the daytime, but I have South facing windows hitting the TV and it's nothing that prevents me from watching television. There is an anti-glare coating on this model and you have to look for the reflection in order to be distracted. If you do a majority of your TV watching at night like I do, then I would consider it a non-issue. I have no buzz as others have mentioned. I did notice in the owners guide Samsung directly addresses this and provides options to reduce buzzing should it be an issue. Burn-in is a non-issue. If a logo stays on the screen for a while you'll see a shadow if you walk up and look at the screen sideways, but a couple mins on a different channel and it's gone. CRT's had this issue when they were new too, but it would seem the new plasmas have solved it just as the CRT sets they replaced did. Overall a great set. I certainly do not miss my 25" rounded CRT tube! :2011-12-10 18:27:18 Unbelievable Picture!,    I have had this TV hanging on the wall for a little over a week now. I was blown away when I turned it on to see what a great picture this has. The first night I fired it up, was the night of the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, and this television did not disappoint. I had been trying to find a good price on a Panasonic G10, since I also own a 42" Panasonic plasma, and have loved it. This Samsung blows my other TV away. I have not made a single adjustment to the picture, and dont think I will have to. The landscapes of British Columbia come through with great clarity, so much that my wife and I are thinking about going there for a vacation in the future! Also, I read reviews about the TV buzzing. I will say that I can hear the buzzing when close up to the TV, or if the sound is muted, I can faintly hear it from my couch. The speakers I have running the sound through completely drown it out though, and I have no issue there. You are going to have a little buzzing with any plasma, just the way they operate. I guess one would have to weigh how sensitive their ears are, and how much they can focus on one little thing. Again, I cant even hear the buzzing during normal viewing, and I have tried. Also, the price that I found on Amazon beat anything else I could find online, from a reputable website, by about $300. I ordered it on a Monday, received it on a Friday (with free shipping) and was watching it that night. Great product. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for a great TV. :2011-12-10 18:27:02 Great TV,    I got this TV 2 1/2 years ago and I don't have any thing bad to say about it. GREAT TV and for the price you can't go wrong :2011-12-10 18:26:45 samsung pn50b650    Samsung pn59b650 is one of the best plasma TV that i ever see.good picture and color make this plasma TV if not the best is right there with the best. i was a litter comprehensive about buy this TV,because the problem that they say about the burn out picture. but this one is equipped with screen burn out protection. i have this TV for 3 week now and i don't have any problem with the screen,TV logo,etc.,etc i recommended :2011-12-10 18:26:28 HOLY SMOKES    despite some apprehension about ordering such an expensive item online and hoping it wasn't delivered in shards, everything went perfect. the delivery guys will bring it into your place, but consider that white glove service does not mean what you might think. they basically put the tv down at the nearest wall socket, took the sides off the gigantic 10-ft long box this thing comes in, plugged the cord in the back, and plugged it in. once it was turned on, they walked straight out after getting a signature. they definitely won't unpack the tv, or help you set it on your tv stand. not a complaint, really - i'm happy they brought it in - just an FYI for you. it took awhile to get the stand attached and the tv up by myself (were i not a reckless fool, i would have waited for a 2nd person - it's not impossible to do yourself, but it's really stupid to risk your very expensive product - i just couldn't wait!). :2011-12-10 18:26:08 SWEET!,    My first plasma; comparison is Samsumg 40A750 LCD. This plasma is awesome. There are some windows right near the TV that brings in some good afternoon sun and no glare/great picture. Picture looks stunning in HD mode and on the PS3 (call of duty,..) Colors are beautiful, blacks are black. NO BUZZING. Hard to compare to my LCD except that the plasma seems brighter during day time...though it may not be a fair comparison as the LCD is in a great room with tons of windows while the plasma is in the basement which only has 4 windows. The picture of both TV is amazing and I am glad I stuck with Samsung. Amazon (CEVA) brough the TV to house, unpacked it, hooked everything and turned it on before leaving - GREAT service again (as was with my LCD I bought last year). :2011-12-10 18:25:51 astounding picture!    This television has a beautiful picture. I could not be happier. If you are on the fence between lcd and plasma, take this tv home and you won't be dissapointed. The colors are amazing, and there is zero motion blur when watching sports or action scenes. The built-in widgets are nice, especially the Monet paintings with the piano track in the background. The only negative is that you have to buy a separate wireless lan to access the online content. I wish the wi-fi was built in, but it is perfect otherwise. You get so much more tv per inch with this plasma versus a samsung lcd of comparable size. :2011-12-10 18:25:31 Buy this television    I have had the product for over a month now, so I feel qualified to have a review. This television is awesome. In fact it was just recently rated in Consumer Reports as the best HD tlevision. Not just plasma, but overall. Right out of the box the picture was excellent. No problems with set-up, the movers took it out of the box and put it on the stand and made sure it was working before they left. Don't worry about the screen burn in and all the other negatives being talked about with plasma tv's. They are not a problem with this tv and for the money you can get a big tv for a smaller price. I love it and recommend it. :2011-12-10 18:25:12 Great Buy    Great picture, easy to setup, really good buy...first flat screen of these dimensions,totally impressed with quality. On standard definition right now, still get great picture, eager to see what the difference HD will make. Delivery of item was excellent and fast. Received item 3 days after purchase... :2011-12-10 18:24:58 Fantastic Picture, Great Features, Good Price.    Great menus and loads of picture options. Connection to computer server for additional content worked well. Even played a burn of a Video_TS file from a DVD I own. OTA HDTV looks great. I could hardly see a difference between 1080p, 1080i broadcast and 720P, like I could with other TVs. Which means the TV is doing some excellent processing. I saw the same effect when playing a iPhone formatted movie. Somehow the TV managed to make it look great. The menus are well laid out and very attractive to look at. Cons: PiP doesn't work with OTA and Analog AV, I couldn't watch a SD DVD and OTA at the same time. Minor limitation. I suspect it is a hardware limitation. Remote is a bit slow to react, but NOT deal breaker slow. Server content manager is a bit unorganized, best to share a folder you organize yourself. There are menu items that are a bit too buried for my liking, such as the OTA signal strength indicator and a few others, but you can't have everything where you want unless Samsung created a custom menu option...HINT! The 24p film mode causes the black levels to lighten, this is a well known problem with this model. I haven't figured out any workarounds and it doesn't looks like this issue will ever be fixed. Screen burn is a minor issue. If you are playing anything with a static image, make sure to engage the game mode and keep pixel shift on. This makes it pretty much a non-issue. Pixel shift isn't available in Movie picture mode, so you will need to use the standard picture mode. Conclusion: For around $1000, you probably can't do any better on a 50" TV, or even a 46" for that matter. I picked out a LG 47LH90 LED LCD for my father-in-law for $1200, which was a steal. If I could have found that deal again, I wouldn't have purchased this TV. I am happy I didn't, because although that TV is excellent, the combination of features and picture on this set are fantastic and I got 3 more inches! The HDMI-CEC works well with the PS3 slim. The one limitation is in the PS3 itself. The PS3 will not turn off the unit when a disc is being played. Probably a good thing. I'm using a Pioneer 919ah-k in between the PS3 and the TV and it works well besides the above PS3 limitation. When you turn off the PS3, the TV will automatically go to another source (in my case the OTA antenna). 1080p sources from the PS3 are stunning. Black levels are really good. I tuned my picture using the same setting CNET used and didn't have to make too many tweaks beyond that. Really impressive TV. :2011-12-10 18:24:22 Superior TV,    WoW... Once I turned it on, this TV roared... it is a monster. I searched a lot, and went to different places to see and compare... LCD vs Plasma... this is ridiculous. Both are great, you should be comparing the best in each class and you will find amazing machines, what I noticed is that LCD is more expensive (for no obvious reason apart from the market trend) the final stand was between Samsung B650 plasma 50" and Panasonic G10 plasma 50" well clearly the Samsung has lots of features and has better specs, but the panasonic has the fame.. a history of about a hundred years or so... I went with this amazing TV and I an so happy, it has a stunning picture, whether you play DVD, BlueRay, Netflix streaming or stick the USB to play anything <<< MKV support >>> , DLNA support and many other features... it is just magnificent. :2011-12-10 18:24:09 Samsung PN50B650 Delivers As Promised!,    [...] Samsung PN50B650 50-Inch Plasma as one of the top 5 HDTVs - they were right on the money! What a sweet deal [...] from Amazon during Thanksgiving sales window. I researched HDTVs for 2 months before I made this purchase. I absolutely LOVE it! It is the visual centerpiece of my home theater system anchored by the Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K 7.1 Receiver, and mated with a Samsung BD P3600 Blu-Ray player, Polk Audio TSi 400 towers, Polk Audio CS10 Center Channel Speaker, Polk Audio TSi 100 shelf speakers for rear surround, and a Polk Audio PSW10 Subwoofer. I'm running DirectTV through the receiver and HD programming on the Samsung Plasma is beautiful, Blu-Ray HD is awesome - crisp, true colors, deep blacks, no motion issues, etc. Plasma beats LCD and LED displays hands down, and the new models are pretty energy efficient - should not really be a factor in making a decision now. One very important thing to note that I was not made aware of in any reviews or by the manufacturer is that Plasmas have a break in period. After being tipped off to this by a friend, I found plenty of very helpful information on how to do this on the Web. While PN50B650 and most other Plasmas have anti-image burn protection, it is still a good idea to follow basic break in procedures. These include running the screen at a lower contrast, lower cell light, setting the pixel shift feature to on, and avoiding still images or fixed tickers or logos to be displayed during break in. Most information I found on Plasma break in, suggests 200-250 hours. After that, the risk of image burn is greatly diminished. The following links were extremely helpful, you can download a break in DVD that can help speed up the process by running it when not watching movies and/or TV. You are basically conditioning the plasma cells. [...] :2011-12-10 18:23:58 Most Pleasing Technology Purchase Ever    We chose this TV, because it was identified as a best buy by Consumer Reports. We had been wanting to enter the modern TV world for a while, but we just hadn't gotten around to it. My husband labels this his "Most Pleasing Technology Purchase Ever." We have lots of computers, peripherals and electronics, so that is really saying something. This TV arrived ahead of schedule, worked exactly as it was supposed to right out of the box, and caused absolutely no frustration in any way. We are very pleased. Picture quality is fantastic and colors are vibrant. :2011-12-10 18:23:42 Great Plasma at a great price!!    tem arrived quickly and in great condition. Item was as described. No complaints. Hooked up easily. Couldn't be happier with television and service I received. :2011-12-10 18:23:26 Can't beat it, especially for this price.    This is a great TV. I've got it hooked up to a Yamaha RX-V863 receiver with a 5.1 speaker system and a PS3. I mostly use the CNET recommended settings, and picture quality is tops, especially when watching 1080i HD broadcasts. Sometimes the picture is so good I feel like I could reach out and touch the people on the screen. I've never been a big football fan, but I have to admit watching football over the air on this thing is an experience like no other. The players' uniforms seem to leap off the screen! For Blu Ray movies, the Cinema Smooth feature seems to work just fine for me, and boy do those movies look good. I did, however, notice a slight flicker in some of the darker scenes in "I am Legend" and the new "Dawn of the Dead." I'm not sure if that's the TV or what, but it's only a very minor and infrequent nuisance. Overall, with this TV and the audio setup, I feel my home movie experience is much better than the theater, and with movie tickets being as expensive as they are these days it's worth it to just by the movie and watch it at home. PS3 gaming is out of this world. I use the same picture settings for movies as I do for gaming, and the TV seems plenty fast enough to keep up with rapid gaming movements. There is a slight drawback, however, with the plasma technology and gaming: burn-in. Many games I play seem to have had good enough designers so that the stationary on-screen indicators are in color shades that don't lend themselves to burn-in, like light grays or greens, but I do notice an after-image. It does fix itself in a few minutes of normal TV viewing or the built-in after-image remover, so I wouldn't worry about it. To help guard against this, I did use screen break-in images on a USB stick to burn the screen in for about 150 hours before I really started using it. Overall great TV at a great price. :2011-12-10 18:23:14 Beautiful Display..,    Had this TV for over 20 days now.. No Buzzing.. IR is a non issue.. Have been gaming with PS3 from Day 1.. No issues. Highly recommend :2011-12-10 18:23:01 SAMSUNG PN50B650,    Amazing...this TV is absolutely suberb! I spent over 6 months researching the pro's/con's of the latest technology and my decision to purchase this TV was a perfect decision. I did get some help from other reviewers and on this TV they were correct. Samsung doesn't make everything perfect (like some of their Blu-Ray players :-( #; but this Plasma TV is incredible. Vivid colors that are realistic. Plasma rocks over LCD for depth and motion blurring. This 50-inch is a monster in size from our old 20-inch CRT #lol). But one word describes the quality and price point for this TV---Wow! You won't be disappointed! Great connectivity with all your components and LAN too. :2011-12-10 18:22:45 Extremely Pleased    Consumer Reports top rated this TV and they were right! The picture is terrific and the set is easy to use. Forget the virtually invisible controls on the front of the set, but the remote is great with easy to use on screen menu. And the initial set-up was easy; no help is needed. The Amazon price ($1325) was very close to the lowest available, the shipping was free, and dealing with Amazon was great as usual. I could not be more pleased with both the product and with the Amazon experience. :2011-12-10 18:22:30 Samsung PN50B650 WOW!    I was considering purchasing this television or the Panasonic TC-P50V10, but the Panasonic was almost $2,000. I purchased the Samsung for $1,149 after a $150 discount from Amazon. In my opinion this television is nothing short of SPECTACULAR! The Panasonic step down model "G" series sells for $1,650 and this television is inferior to the Samsung. I was a little apprehensive about purchasing the Samsung after reading about all the "buzzing" issues on line, but after 100 hours of playback time I have heard nothing. The picture quality and colors are outstanding. I have a highly rated Pansonic plasma tv in my bedroom and that television does not compare to the Samsung at all. I have a high end home audio system that I play when watching dvds and occassionally broadcast shows, but the television sound isn't bad for those times when you don't feel like using the external sound system. The Panasonic TC-P50V10 is an excellent and sharp looking unit, but I don't think it's noticably better than the Samsung PN50B650. In my opinion, the Samsung television delivers the best picture quality of any current plasma tv you can purchase. Why spend $2,000 for a Panasonic TC-P50V10 when you can get this for $1,149? If you want to spend $2,000 purchase the 58" version the Samsung PN58B650 for the same amount as the 50" Panasonic. Bottom line buy this television you will love it, there are no "buzzing" issues with the latest production Samsungs. :2011-12-10 18:22:15 Great Picture    The picture on this TV exceeded my expectations...it is one of the best I have ever seen. This is an excellent TV at a great price. :2011-12-10 18:20:44 After 4 years of research i finally pulled the trigger,    I always wanted to get a nice tv but something would come up and i would put it off. My friends had HD so i have been watching it for years and saw the process they went through in selecting. I narrowed my choice to samsung or panasonic. I went to all the the sites (cnet, con. rep., best [...], all the forums (av, hdtv, technophile) and decided on plasma because of viewing angle and i watch alot of sports. After measuring my space i could have went with a 42 but decided to get a 50. After all the technical research it came down to price, vendor and value. Amazon has been a trusted vendor for years, and they had a competitive price (1100) so i went with them ordered tv and saw that it would be delivered week of thanksgiving when i would be out of town. Called amazon up, spoke to a very nice young lady, she gave me the info to the shipping company said call and reschedule if it did not come in by tuesday before t-giving. It came Monday night (10pm). I tipped the guy, said that he was told to deliver before tuesday (that was the day I was leaving town.) We unpacked tv, hooked up cable hd box, he set it up, and bam - hd in all its glory, immediately turned to NFLTV and then some nature channel in HD. Picture was amazing, havent calibrated but plan to do so, just going with out of the box set up, there are couple of modes but havent gotten a chance to play with them yet. Have a PS3 and watched blu ray transformers, incredible picture and visuals. megan looks amazing and so does optimus prime. games are great, did read the part of the manual about burn in and games, but this tv has a screen saver feature. If you have been waiting like me for years and have done all the research and you have a a grand then this tv will not disappoint. I am posting this because i read reviews and at the end of the day i want a quality product at a good price that will provide years of entertainment. I believe this tv will do so, I have had it for a month and it operates as advertised, picture is crisp, football games, hockey, basketball all look great, especially nfl games. I would recommend tv to a friend. :2011-12-10 18:20:31 Awesome 5Samsung PN50B650 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV with Internet    This is my 2nd 50" Plasma set, my first being bought a bit over 5 years ago - a 50" 720p Vizio (Which lasted just about 4 years before three electronics boards died and Vizio would not sell them to either myself or a local repair shop (only would supply IF I had been under an extended warranty through them - I used to praise Vizio, but now will warn people away from them). I bought the Samsung PN50B650 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV for 3 reasons: 1) Plasma yields much better blacks and more realistic colors than the most expensive LCD/LED combo available, 2) reported Samsung quality and customer service (parts availability, AND 3)a great online price (<$1K delivered) from Amazon. This is the step-up set from the Samsung PN50B550 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV and basically adds built-in internet capability. Due to a great "hidden price" at Amazon, I actually paid less for this step up set than the entry model from almost anywhere else on or off line that I looked. Delivery was good and on time (4 hour window, but I called and the scheduler narrowed it to within a 1 hour window). Two cleanly dressed delivery people brought my set and opened the box (per my request) so I could inspect for damage (none) The set does take two people to lift into place above a fireplace (but any set would). The set is placed above my fireplace in the family room which gets a lot of sun but we have no issue viewing. I have NOT touched the default settings, but plan to play around with them at some point to see if I can improve on an already superb picture. No bad pixels - normal in plasma but a rarity in LCD sets. Setup of internet connection with widgets was consumer simple (yes, I'm a high tech geek, but it really was 3rd grade simple). A guide walks you through the setup and it very 3rd grade level with visual and audible explanations. And yes, as some have reported, the internet widgets are a bit slow to load and to change, but hey, this IS A TV, not a desktop computer. If you want speed, set up a headless nettop to display on your TV. There is NO Buzz as is often common with some plasmas, which I credit Samsung with a great design team (plasmas SHOULD NOT buzz, that is a design defect). The sound through the speakers is surprisingly good, but if you want serious sound, hook up a serious sound system (I haven't yet). The remote, as all do , has too many buttons, but is well labeled easy to use. I set up my Comcast remote to handle the on/off and sound, and only touch the Samsung remote when I need to change to a different source to play games from our PS2 or Wii. What would I change about the TV? Honestly, nothing. Hey, I paid <$1000 for a 50" 1080P Plasma with Internet. What is there "realistically" to complain about? :2011-12-10 18:20:16 Amazing Amazon -Amazing Samsung !!!,    We bought this TV after 3 months of research and analytics. In the end in our analysis Plasma won over LCD and Samsung won over Panasonic.We were decided on the Panasonic G10 but made a switch at the last minute with this deal to save some extra $$. We may also have a Sammy bias as we have owned 3 Samsung TVs so far and are very happy with their performance and service. First on Amazing Amazon - This was our first big electronics deal on Amazon. No sales tax + free dly = no brainer ! Amazon gives you the best deal - period. We chose standard delivery and were lucky to get the TV delivered at home in 3 days !! Very professional and courteous folks from CEVA brought the big package one level up the stairs, unpacked and hooked it up for us. Very smooth! This beats site to store/pick up from any big box retailer. Now on the Amazing Samsung TV - amazing colors and contrast - our other TV is a Sammy LCD hdtv and we feel Plasma picture quality is way superior than LCD. LED LCDs are comparble/better but almost $1k more expensive at same size. Having watched CRT most of our growing years we are tolerant to a bit of glare and chose not to shell out extra money to avoid it completely. This TV reduces glare to a large extent but you still get some if light source is in direct reflection path. a non issue for us. Also while we worry about the image retention /burn in issue we have not seen any so far even though we watch all the regular news channels and logo channels as before. Again possibly we are not looking for it so do not notice when it does happen for a while and then it gets corrected automatically in a few minutes. We mainly watch Cable TV and on weekends watch a few DVDs. The TV is in its 2nd week now and we are taking precautions like making the picture larger to fit screen or in wide mode. The in built pixel shift process for preventing image retention is also in the ON mode and working I guess. Will update after the break in period is over. We have no issue with the sound on this TV - we use direct sound from TV as well as have it wired to a 5.1 Sammy Home Theater system which we use only switch to for the movies or special progrmas. Size was another factor we had trouble deciding. From 46 to 55 inch we finally decided it had to be 50. 46 is aso a decent if you are upgrading from a 32 or 37 and 50/52 is as good as 55 if you want a bigger look. The difference is more noticable in showrooms with TVs side by side - otherwise even after months of looking at TVs we get fooled into thinking a lone 46 on the wall is a 52 or that a 50 is a 54- to us they all look equally big in isolation. Overall we are very happy with this purchase and recommend it strongly to anyone looking for a good TV with a great picture and at a great price. :2011-12-10 18:19:59 A great TV,    We checked out Consumer Reports before plunging into the confusing and confounding task of choosing a new TV. My husband was dead set against plasma at first due to the initial problems plasma TV's were known for- burn in, reflection, and energy consumption. Boy are we both glad he gave this TV a chance. The picture quality is absolutely amazing. To achieve maximum useage out of the 1080p, 600hz capability, definitely invest in a blu ray player and upgrade to hd TV with your cable or digital TV provider. Seriously, once you see an HD image on this baby, you'll never want to watch anything else. My husband plays video games and if you like to game, you have to go plasma. Now lets talk price. Our old LCD Samsung that we replaced with this TV cost us about $500 more and was 8 inches smaller. We bought it here, on amazon, on sale with no sales tax and free shipping with our amazon prime trial for a grand total of $1139. How bout them apples?! The blu ray images are so amazing it is almost like you could walk right into the picture. Some have almost a 3D quality. No jaggies, blurring, or any of the traditional LCD problems. This TV is energy star rated, we haven't seen any burn in. I'll be honest and say that I'm still getting used to seeing a bit of reflection after having an LCD for so long. We have it in a pretty bright room, so sometimes we need to shut the curtains so we're not distracted by the reflection. A small small price to pay for such an amazing picture and a great price. One last thing- we also looked at the 850 model of this TV. The ONLY difference between the two is the thickness of the unit, and the price. So, unless having a TV that is an inch and a half thick versus 2 and a half to 3 inches thick for about 500 bucks more is super important to you- stick with this one. :2011-12-10 18:19:22 GREAT TV    If you're concerned at all about buying a plasma, concern yourself no longer. I did a ton of research through CNET, Consumer Reports (even the editor's blogs), biased sales reps and, yes, even user reviews at Amazon. There is no buzzing. There is no burn-in. There is no glare (well, just a little more than an LCD). And the sound is pretty good, to boot. The TV produces a great picture from even the sharpest of angles and there is almost no motion blur. I was worried about my 5-year-old kids creating burn-in with their average of about 4 hours of Wii playing time each day, but there's no problem (even with them forgetting to turn off the TV when they pause on menu screens for several minutes). This is CR's highest-rated TV (bar none) for a reason. If you want to get all techy, go to another review. All I can say is that sports look great (I'm not a basketball fan, but that sport looks especially good, as does golf) and HD movies through ATT's U-verse also look amazing. :2011-12-10 18:18:53 PN50B650    I shopped for TV's for nearly two months, and settled on this one after long consideration and looking at every other plasma on the market today. I can't be more happy with my decision. This television is absolutely amazing in every respect. The picture is extremely clear, bright, and the colors are accurate. You can't beat the deal that Amazon is offering with the $150 off coupon code, but its still a great deal at $1299, which is what I payed for it. My TV is in a pretty bright room with a large window on the side, and I see very minimal glare during the day time, and no glare at all at night. The wireless networking and DLNA features are pretty cool too. You can wirelessly stream HD movies, music, or photos from your computer to the TV. All you need is an Ethernet cord to hook up from the TV to your modem. The Yahoo Widgets allow you to see news, weather, etc., but I don't think I'm going to use that. It's cool to impress friends and family with, but it's a lot easier to just look that stuff up on your computer. The TV speakers are OK, but I would recommend getting a surround sound system if you're going to have such a great TV. Watching any sports in HD will blow your mind. I have At&T Uverse and everything in HD looks amazing. I have yet to see what Blu Ray stuff looks like, but I know it's even better. I've heard about some buzzing issues, but I hear no buzzing whatsoever from my panel. Additionally, the panel keeps pretty cool. You can't feel any warmth unless you're touching the glass itself. Buy this TV and you won't be disappointed!!! :2011-12-10 18:18:24 review    It's big, it's bright. It's stylish. Colors are very accurate if you follow cnet's suggestions. Do a google search for it. Glare is not a problem, has a good coating. :2011-12-10 18:18:09 Love my new TV    At first I was going to buy the PN50B550, but I found an internet coupon for $125 off this TV, so I figured what the heck and bought this instead. I went with plasma because I have a rather bright TV room during the day, the price was cheaper, and I wanted to be able to see the picture from side angles as well as straight on. This TV is absolutely beautiful and I must confess it is my first HD TV as I have been a CRT guy until now(I know--what took me so long?). As did many others, I researched TV's everywhere on the internet and Consumer Reports to help make my decision and I am very happy with what I bought. Others have said how much heat plasma TV's put out and the newer models are better. This does put out some heat, but I just turn on the ceiling fan and it takes care of it. I also have a home theater system when I want the big sound, but the regular speakers are just fine for me when watching everyday programming. Football games are awesome in HD with the big sound system on. All in all this is a great TV and it gets two thumbs up from me. :2011-12-10 18:17:53 Worth the Investment,    This was the second PN50B650 that I have purchased. One for my own home 8+ months ago and then one for another family member because I was so pleased with the first one. I did quite a bit of research prior to purchasing the first set and then additional research before the second purchase and I don't think that I could have found a better unit for the price. Purchased both from Amazon, they had the best price and the free shipping was great too. The second unit was initially received damaged, and the folks from Amazon got right on sending me another one, no complaints except that it was another two weeks or so for delivery, there was no way to ship faster because of the size. I was very pleased with how they handled the issue. You can find all the TV's spec's elsewhere, take away from this review that there are a lot of good choices out there and if I had not been really really pleased with the first set, I would have tried something different. This set is well worth your (and my) investment. :2011-12-10 18:17:40 Great TV at a great price    I tortured over which TV to buy, doing painstaking research in an attempt to get the best value for my money. I checked CNET and PCMag reviews and on both, this TV came out around the top in picture quality. However, the price difference between the Samsung B650 plasma and the TVs it was being compared to (both plasmas and LCDs) was huge -- in most cases well over $1000. The TV arrived on time and in perfect condition. The delivery guy helped me set it up and make sure it was in working order. And the picture is fantastic -- especially in HD! I have a bright living room with lots of windows and had heard that plasmas with their reflective screens are better suited to darker rooms, but screen reflectivity hasn't been a factor at all. I love the deeper blacks better color accuracy and lack of motion blur as compared to all but the most expensive LCD/LED sets. In short, I'm delighted with my choice and feel that I got the best TV available, delivered for under $1200. :2011-12-10 18:17:09 Great Plasma, All The Way Around!!    Pros: Great picture, even out of the box. Easy to and many tweaks. Great looking, touch of color.... real class! Burn-in function. Plenty of "Nice to Have(s)"/Gadgets, Internet, Widgets, etc. Beautiful colors and deep blacks. Definition is outstanding. Excellent refresh rate. Most of all a great price and free shipping from Amazon. Cons: Putting the set in the stand a little demanding, but of course, I'm an old man. Put the panel on two chairs with a large gap in the center and have a third person slip the stand on and tighten down. In operation, haven't really found anything, but if I do, I will be back with an update. Other Thoughts: I've owned a 50" Panasonic Plasma since 2005, it was CNet's Editors Choice. Gave it to my son. Wanted to check out the 1080p, Cinema Smooth, Internet Widgets. I've been building computers since 1988 and I do my homework when it comes to electronics. I've read all the reviews by customers, CNet, Consumer Report on all three brands. They all have their issues, but in my opinion, Samsung wins out in every respect! First issue I want to address is buzzing. No buzzing at all! Once again, no buzzing at all!! I know Samsung addresses the issue on their website, but it's a non-issue at least with this unit. If you put your ear to the top of the vent, you can hear the fan. The folks who have complained about the loud buzzing, you need to return the unit for another. Now to another issue, Burn-in. The first thing you do with any plasma set is TURN DOWN THE CONTRAST. No matter what mode you select the contrast is in the 90s. I cut the contrast down to 45/55, brightness 55/65, color 45, and turn on Burn Protection. The other tweaks to your liking. After the burn-in period, knock yourself out! The Cinema Smooth 1080p/24, no glitches I have noticed. The Internet feature works great. You need the Samsung WIS-08BG2X Wireless Link stick, plug it in the USB port on the side, go to the Internet option, select wireless, type in the WEP ID off your modem and your are ready to surf. Hope this helps in your decision, take care :2011-12-10 18:16:49 Amazing quality even with SD content    There are so many positives to this tv. 1. Value - This amazing tv can be had for around 1100 yet compete with those costing 4,000. 2. Media Center - This also supports external usb hard drives and just about every video and audio codec out there today. Regular Divx movies now look amazing and actually better than upscaled dvd did on my 5 year old Toshiba HDTV. 3. Vivid picture when there is sunlight coming into the room. My old HDTV was very hard to see because of glare. I had to cover some of my upper windows just to see the picture during the day. Now with this screen there is no problems no matter what amount of light that there is. 4. Screen burn protection - This tv includes a anti burn pixel shift that you do not notice even if you stare close up that prevents what some other plasmas as well as crt's can get. 5. Connections - I can now hook up a dvd player,PS3,laptop,DirectvHD DVR,external antenna and still have plenty of video inputs to work with. HDMI 1.3 needed for 1080P content of course. 6. OTA - I was actually able to get 35 channels (many in HD) with a simple fm antenna here in Orlando. The OTA tuner seems to be able to pull on weak signals very well and the picture quality is excellent. 7. Software - The tv has built in cookbooks and other cool features if you choose to use it. Along with any number of widgets that make it seems more like a computer rather than just a tv. Ethernet connection used for widgets updates. Cons I can really find any other than a small annoyance. The tv memory is only 189 megs. Each software that you install (such as cookbooks or art gallery) takes up between 20 and 30 megs leaving little space to work with. Although you can just plug in a flash drive in one of the two usb ports on the side and utilize the software from that. Or you could play a movie directly from the flash drive, or music, or photos. The options seem almost endless. I try to say cons and end up saying more good things about this tv. If you have the cash then jump on this deal. I opted for the two year no interest/payment deal with amazon card to pay as we go. Funds a little low since we just bought a house but this deal was too good to pass up. Coupled with a THX Certified surround system ,you have yourself an incredible home theater as well as everyday HDTV. :2011-12-10 18:16:28 Excellent choice    After a great deal of research I bit the bullet and ordered this TV. I'm very happy with it -- in fact, delighted -- so far. I'll list each concern that I had along with how things turned out for me: - Buzzing. My number one fear was the buzzing that people have noted as an issue. There is absolutely none, even when I turn the volume down to extremely low levels, and I'm hypersensitive to this kind of thing. - Glare. I was also a little worried about the glare factor that some reviewers have mentioned. I haven't had any issues at all. The TV is in a room with medium-sized windows facing northeast, so there isn't a problem with direct sunlight but it's still fairly bright during the day. I haven't needed to adjust any picture settings to compensate and there hasn't been any annoying reflection. And I should add that the picture is amazingly crisp and vivid. - Sound. Some people have reported the sound as being less than stellar. My previous main TV, a Sony Wega, has very rich sound so based on the reviews I expected to hear something pretty tinny with this model. It actually turned out to be much better than I had anticipated. I don't feel the need to use my external audio system except when watching a movie, and that's just to get the full surround-sound experience. - Touch of color. The red is slightly more vivid than I expected, but not overly so. I tend to be a neutral color person when it comes to electronics, but the color on this is still subtle and not overdone. And the overall styling of this model is gorgeous. It's beautiful to look at and people drool when they come over to visit. - Connections. I wasn't quite sure what exactly would be available despite looking at the photos and documentation online. I didn't have HDMI on my old TV and I used S-video for a couple of things so I thought I might run out of open ports. I bought some HDMI cables for the cable box and DVD player, and I had no problem also hooking up my DVD recorder and stereo using conventional component cables. I did retire my old VCR but I could easily have kept it as there are several remaining open connections, even for composite cables. And I can still add a Blu-Ray DVD player if I decide to get one. - Burn in. I've experienced none. I was kind of worried when I ran the auto-channel programming feature because it has a very static screen and took quite awhile to process. It added every scrambled channel on the cable network and then spent a long time removing them. Happily, there were no unwanted effects. - Network connectivity. I got the wireless USB device and it works great. I can access music and photos on my computer as well as use the Yahoo widgets that are programmed into the TV. I don't use it a lot but it's a fun feature. I know it can be a little difficult deciding on a major purchase like this. I can say that after several weeks there is nothing that has disappointed me with this model so far and I'd highly recommend the Samsung PN50B650 if you're looking for a new TV. :2011-12-10 18:16:12 At This Price Point...Simply the Best    I don't think it is possible to get a better deal...at a little over $1,100 this set is simply an amazing buy. Coupled with the all-in-one Samsung surround (BD1250T) I almost feel as though I'm IN the movie rather than merely watching it from my couch. My viewing distance is close to the THX recommended 5.6 feet (I'm actually at 6.5) and the picture is stunning when watching 1080p content (digital cable looks good as well but of course not as good as the 1080p content). The BD1250T does an excellent job up-converting my older DVDs; they look spectacular. I've seen several reviews discussing the red tint reflected onto the screen as well as a buzzing noise; I've experienced neither. I can see the red tint when the TV is off but I don't notice it when viewing. The speakers which come with the set are adequate but I would definitely recommend a surround sound system when viewing HD content (you can get the BD1250T for under $500 - just be aware that this particular surround sound model only has one HDMI connection which limits your ability to connect other devices via HDMI such as an HD DVR or PS3); you can step up to the more expensive model if you require more HDMI connections). Of course the TV has plenty of HDMI connections. The only problem I've noticed with this TV: when you engage Cinema Smooth you lose your deep black level - it turns noticeably brighter. I personally don't see a huge difference between watching the content in Cinema Smooth vice regular mode so this is absolutely not an issue for me - and I'm a huge movie buff so I watch a ton of movies. I don't see how you could possibly go wrong with this set. Checkout the CNET reviews for both this TV and the BD1250T and you will see that they rate extremely high. Good luck! :2011-12-10 18:15:57 Outstanding clarity...Love the USB movie feature !    Ordered this on Amazon and whole process till delivery was smooth. 5 stars to Amazon for the price as well, as always :) I'm extremely pleased with the picture quality & feature set on this TV. This is my first HDTV, but I did do a lot of research before buying this one. I chose this model over others (5 series & Panny Viera) because this is the only "plasma" TV I could find in the market that supports DLNA (ability to stream files directly off my PC) and also has support for USB hard drive hookup. I hooked up my 500 gig (FAT32 format only) HDD and voila, all the files I can play directly off the HDD. Supports all possible media formats out there !! Apart from this it has extremely good connectivity (4 HDMI slots) and numerous inputs to hook up your home theater. This TV is a treat for the eyes...go get this one and you won't be disappointed. Another feature I love is the presence of a ethernet port ... it allows you to connect your TV to the LAN and stream files off the network through DLNA, you don't need to spend additional $$ on the wireless stick. Updating firmware through internet is also a breeze. :2011-12-10 18:15:41 GREAT TV!!!!! - BEST TIME TO BUY - NO BUZZING - TWEEK SETTINGS,    BEST TIME TO BUY - Until 10 Oct 2009 you get the TV for $1239 with no tax and free white glove delivery plus a free Blu-Ray HD DVD Player (retail $299). I just missed out on the free Blu-Ray DVD player. BUZZING PROBLEM - I just received my TV a few days ago and there is absolutely no buzzing, which was my main concern about this purchase. I ordered the TV on 27 Sept 2009 and the firmware loaded on the the TV was dated July 2009 (version 1011). Amazon had just restocked this TV before I ordered it. I waited to order as the newer versions of this TV don't seem to suffer from the buzzing problem. WHITE GLOVE DELIVERY - If you buy this TV and it is fulfilled by Amazon you are entitled to white glove delivery which includes unpacking, assembling the TV, and connecting the TV to your main source to verify a working picture. The only time you wouldn't get this service is if another company fulfilled the order through Amazon. The company (CEVA, Boston MA) that delivered my TV did this without asking. NEW FIRMWARE - The first thing I did was to get the newest firmware update from the Samsung website which is dated 22 Sept 2009 (version 1012). You should do this before adjusting your TV settings as this will reset them. You don't have to have your TV connected to the Internet. You just need a cheap USB travel drive. TWEEK PICTURE SETTINGS - The factory set picture settings are OK but CNET's are much truer to life. Here are CNET's recommended settings for a darkened room: -Picture menu Mode: Movie Cell Light: 10 Contrast: 99 Brightness: 48 Sharpness: 0 Color: 48 Tint: G50/R50 Advanced settings submenu Black tone: Off Dynamic contrast: Off Gamma: 0 Color space: Auto Flesh tone: 0 Edge enhancement: Off xvYCC: Off White balance submenu R-Offset: 25 G-Offset: 25 B-Offset: 25 R-Gain: 25 G-Gain: 21 B-Gain: 21 Picture options submenu Color tone: Warm2 Size: Screen Fit Digital NR: Off HDMI black level: Normal [grayed out] 1080 Full HD Motion Demo: Off Film mode: Off** Blue only mode: Off --Setup menu Game Mode: Off Energy saving: Off BD Wise: Off **Black levels became lighter when we selected the Cinema Smooth option, so these settings only apply to the Off position, even for 1080p/24 sources. :2011-12-10 18:15:23 very happy    After a good amount of research I decided to get Samsung PN50B650. It's been almost 3 weeks already and I could not be more happier. I am not a videophile, but picture looks outstanding and it actually looks better then my 1 year old Sony Bravia 52inch LCD. best feature is ability to stream content from your PC or USB memory stick or HDD. so far, I have not discovered format that it does not handle. :2011-12-10 18:14:33 Highly recommended!,    Basically I've had this TV for about 3 weeks already, and wanted to share since when researching this new 2009 Samsung PN50B650 set, there were limited reviews. the specs and price on this had me at hello... 3,000,000:1 Mega Contrast 0.001ms pixel-response time. 600Hz Cinema Smooth 4 HDMI ports Tuners: ATSC / NTSC / QAM ENERGY STAR qualified Anynet DLNA :2011-12-10 18:14:18 Makes me feel I made the right choice.    If you're in the market for a HDTV then the Samsung PN50B650 is worth a second look. Externally, the attractive Touch of Color design incorporated into the clear beveled edged glass exudes sophistication and class. Internally, the Crystal Full HD Engine and Samsung's e-panel technology translates into a blur free clear vibrant picture perfect for sports and movies alike. Truthfully I started off in the HDTV market looking for a 52" LCD panel with 1080p and 120hz specs. After a month of searching I realized that a name brand set with the above specs was out of my budget. I wasn't considering a plasma because I thought it was outdated technology, fear of image retention (IR), cost of operation, and plasma's heavier weight difference. However, as I researched more into plasmas I learned that my fears were they themselves outdated. Plasma was not outdated technology, many companies were still pouring money into plasma R&D. IR for sure is still a concern but with some simple basic precautions and use of the built in pixel shifting option, IR has become a very minor concern. This set is also Energy Star compliant using 40% less power than prior years plasmas (as per Samsung's website) and comparable to LCDs of similar size. As for weight, I wasn't too concerned because my set wasn't going on a wall. Regardless, the weight difference to a LCD is only about 15 lbs or so. Also, this set comes with an attractive stand that allows the TV to rotate for optimal viewing. The cons I have so far are: Even with the FilterBright technology incorporated into the screen, glare is still a factor. I have my set in a room with no curtains but no direct sunlight and find myself changing the brightness control at times during daylight use. While the Media 2.0 is a fantastic feature (and the reason why I highly recommend this set over the B550 for a few extra $) it can be slow at times. Lastly, the speakers on this TV are marginal. Not bad in loudness but definitely no mid range or bass as one would expect. You will eventually need something externally powered. I will not bore you with pros and cons of this set's internal specs, you can interpret them anyway you want but for a non HDTV expert that was merely trying to get the best value for the money, with great picture quality and technology (e.g. Cinema Smooth 24p frame rate), in an attractive looking TV, this Samsung was a clear choice for me. Lastly, the other plasma I was considering was the Panasonic G10. It has slightly better reviews but esthetically IMO the Samsung was a clear winner. For the non HDTV expert like myself, the image quality differences were unnoticeable. On a side note, as the post above had mentioned, standard def cable channels are pretty darn good on this set compared to my old 37" LCD. *I do not have the buzz or the pinkish hues some others claim on their sets. Update: After 7 months of use, my Samsung tv is is still going strong with no issues. Picture quality is still bright and vivid. I have either found the most balanced setting for day and night time use or my eyes have gotten used to this set because I longer find myself adjusting the picture settings. Burn in is not an issue and its not even on my mind (although I do not play video games on it). Its great having a tv with online capabilities. While I don't personally find myself using the "widgets" very often, I do appreciate the no hassle automatic software updates to the tv. The two widgets I do use on occasion are the Amazon Video on Demand and the Blockbuster Video on Demand. Either of these two features allow one to watch HD or regular quality movies streamed from their respective providers at about $3-$5 a movie for a 24 hr rental period. Not bad when I don't want to drive to the rental store. Other noteable widgets available are Twitter, YouTube, Ebay and flickr. The tv's speakers are adequate for everyday use but for movies and sporting events an externally powered speakers are advised. I use a Sony sound bar that looks and sounds great with this set. My electric bill has increased about $10 per month. The set is on for 10 plus hours a day. :2011-12-10 18:13:33 Great TV at a great price    I tortured over which TV to buy, doing painstaking research in an attempt to get the best value for my money. I checked CNET and PCMag reviews and on both, this TV came out around the top in picture quality. However, the price difference between the Samsung B650 plasma and the TVs it was being compared to (both plasmas and LCDs) was huge -- in most cases well over $1000. The TV arrived on time and in perfect condition. The delivery guy helped me set it up and make sure it was in working order. And the picture is fantastic -- especially in HD! I have a bright living room with lots of windows and had heard that plasmas with their reflective screens are better suited to darker rooms, but screen reflectivity hasn't been a factor at all. I love the deeper blacks better color accuracy and lack of motion blur as compared to all but the most expensive LCD/LED sets. In short, I'm delighted with my choice and feel that I got the best TV available, delivered for under $1200. :2010-12-03 00:21:10 Great Plasma, All The Way Around    Pros: Great picture, even out of the box. Easy to and many tweaks. Great looking, touch of color.... real class! Burn-in function. Plenty of "Nice to Have(s)"/Gadgets, Internet, Widgets, etc. Beautiful colors and deep blacks. Definition is outstanding. Excellent refresh rate. Most of all a great price and free shipping from Amazon. Cons: Putting the set in the stand a little demanding, but of course, I'm an old man. Put the panel on two chairs with a large gap in the center and have a third person slip the stand on and tighten down. In operation, haven't really found anything, but if I do, I will be back with an update. Other Thoughts: I've owned a 50" Panasonic Plasma since 2005, it was CNet's Editors Choice. Gave it to my son. Wanted to check out the 1080p, Cinema Smooth, Internet Widgets. I've been building computers since 1988 and I do my homework when it comes to electronics. I've read all the reviews by customers, CNet, Consumer Report on all three brands. They all have their issues, but in my opinion, Samsung wins out in every respect! First issue I want to address is buzzing. No buzzing at all! Once again, no buzzing at all!! I know Samsung addresses the issue on their website, but it's a non-issue at least with this unit. If you put your ear to the top of the vent, you can hear the fan. The folks who have complained about the loud buzzing, you need to return the unit for another. Now to another issue, Burn-in. The first thing you do with any plasma set is TURN DOWN THE CONTRAST. No matter what mode you select the contrast is in the 90s. I cut the contrast down to 45/55, brightness 55/65, color 45, and turn on Burn Protection. The other tweaks to your liking. After the burn-in period, knock yourself out! The Cinema Smooth 1080p/24, no glitches I have noticed. The Internet feature works great. You need the Samsung WIS-08BG2X Wireless Link stick, plug it in the USB port on the side, go to the Internet option, select wireless, type in the WEP ID off your modem and your are ready to surf. Hope this helps in your decision, take care. :2010-12-03 00:20:50 Amazing quality even with SD content    There are so many positives to this tv. 1. Value - This amazing tv can be had for around 1100 yet compete with those costing 4,000. 2. Media Center - This also supports external usb hard drives and just about every video and audio codec out there today. Regular Divx movies now look amazing and actually better than upscaled dvd did on my 5 year old Toshiba HDTV. 3. Vivid picture when there is sunlight coming into the room. My old HDTV was very hard to see because of glare. I had to cover some of my upper windows just to see the picture during the day. Now with this screen there is no problems no matter what amount of light that there is. 4. Screen burn protection - This tv includes a anti burn pixel shift that you do not notice even if you stare close up that prevents what some other plasmas as well as crt's can get. 5. Connections - I can now hook up a dvd player,PS3,laptop,DirectvHD DVR,external antenna and still have plenty of video inputs to work with. HDMI 1.3 needed for 1080P content of course. 6. OTA - I was actually able to get 35 channels (many in HD) with a simple fm antenna here in Orlando. The OTA tuner seems to be able to pull on weak signals very well and the picture quality is excellent. 7. Software - The tv has built in cookbooks and other cool features if you choose to use it. Along with any number of widgets that make it seems more like a computer rather than just a tv. Ethernet connection used for widgets updates. Cons I can really find any other than a small annoyance. The tv memory is only 189 megs. Each software that you install (such as cookbooks or art gallery) takes up between 20 and 30 megs leaving little space to work with. Although you can just plug in a flash drive in one of the two usb ports on the side and utilize the software from that. Or you could play a movie directly from the flash drive, or music, or photos. The options seem almost endless. I try to say cons and end up saying more good things about this tv. If you have the cash then jump on this deal. I opted for the two year no interest/payment deal with amazon card to pay as we go. Funds a little low since we just bought a house but this deal was too good to pass up. Coupled with a THX Certified surround system ,you have yourself an incredible home theater as well as everyday HDTV. :2010-12-03 00:20:30 Excellent choice    After a great deal of research I bit the bullet and ordered this TV. I'm very happy with it -- in fact, delighted -- so far. I'll list each concern that I had along with how things turned out for me: - Buzzing. My number one fear was the buzzing that people have noted as an issue. There is absolutely none, even when I turn the volume down to extremely low levels, and I'm hypersensitive to this kind of thing. - Glare. I was also a little worried about the glare factor that some reviewers have mentioned. I haven't had any issues at all. The TV is in a room with medium-sized windows facing northeast, so there isn't a problem with direct sunlight but it's still fairly bright during the day. I haven't needed to adjust any picture settings to compensate and there hasn't been any annoying reflection. And I should add that the picture is amazingly crisp and vivid. - Sound. Some people have reported the sound as being less than stellar. My previous main TV, a Sony Wega, has very rich sound so based on the reviews I expected to hear something pretty tinny with this model. It actually turned out to be much better than I had anticipated. I don't feel the need to use my external audio system except when watching a movie, and that's just to get the full surround-sound experience. - Touch of color. The red is slightly more vivid than I expected, but not overly so. I tend to be a neutral color person when it comes to electronics, but the color on this is still subtle and not overdone. And the overall styling of this model is gorgeous. It's beautiful to look at and people drool when they come over to visit. - Connections. I wasn't quite sure what exactly would be available despite looking at the photos and documentation online. I didn't have HDMI on my old TV and I used S-video for a couple of things so I thought I might run out of open ports. I bought some HDMI cables for the cable box and DVD player, and I had no problem also hooking up my DVD recorder and stereo using conventional component cables. I did retire my old VCR but I could easily have kept it as there are several remaining open connections, even for composite cables. And I can still add a Blu-Ray DVD player if I decide to get one. - Burn in. I've experienced none. I was kind of worried when I ran the auto-channel programming feature because it has a very static screen and took quite awhile to process. It added every scrambled channel on the cable network and then spent a long time removing them. Happily, there were no unwanted effects. - Network connectivity. I got the wireless USB device and it works great. I can access music and photos on my computer as well as use the Yahoo widgets that are programmed into the TV. I don't use it a lot but it's a fun feature. I know it can be a little difficult deciding on a major purchase like this. I can say that after several weeks there is nothing that has disappointed me with this model so far and I'd highly recommend the Samsung PN50B650 if you're looking for a new TV. :2010-12-03 00:20:10 At This Price Point...Simply the Best    I don't think it is possible to get a better deal...at a little over $1,100 this set is simply an amazing buy. Coupled with the all-in-one Samsung surround (BD1250T) I almost feel as though I'm IN the movie rather than merely watching it from my couch. My viewing distance is close to the THX recommended 5.6 feet (I'm actually at 6.5) and the picture is stunning when watching 1080p content (digital cable looks good as well but of course not as good as the 1080p content). The BD1250T does an excellent job up-converting my older DVDs; they look spectacular. I've seen several reviews discussing the red tint reflected onto the screen as well as a buzzing noise; I've experienced neither. I can see the red tint when the TV is off but I don't notice it when viewing. The speakers which come with the set are adequate but I would definitely recommend a surround sound system when viewing HD content (you can get the BD1250T for under $500 - just be aware that this particular surround sound model only has one HDMI connection which limits your ability to connect other devices via HDMI such as an HD DVR or PS3); you can step up to the more expensive model if you require more HDMI connections). Of course the TV has plenty of HDMI connections. The only problem I've noticed with this TV: when you engage Cinema Smooth you lose your deep black level - it turns noticeably brighter. I personally don't see a huge difference between watching the content in Cinema Smooth vice regular mode so this is absolutely not an issue for me - and I'm a huge movie buff so I watch a ton of movies. I don't see how you could possibly go wrong with this set. Checkout the CNET reviews for both this TV and the BD1250T and you will see that they rate extremely high. Good luck! :2010-12-03 00:19:48 Outstanding clarity...Love the USB movie feature    Ordered this on Amazon and whole process till delivery was smooth. 5 stars to Amazon for the price as well, as always :) I'm extremely pleased with the picture quality & feature set on this TV. This is my first HDTV, but I did do a lot of research before buying this one. I chose this model over others (5 series & Panny Viera) because this is the only "plasma" TV I could find in the market that supports DLNA (ability to stream files directly off my PC) and also has support for USB hard drive hookup. I hooked up my 500 gig (FAT32 format only) HDD and voila, all the files I can play directly off the HDD. Supports all possible media formats out there !! Apart from this it has extremely good connectivity (4 HDMI slots) and numerous inputs to hook up your home theater. This TV is a treat for the eyes...go get this one and you won't be disappointed. Another feature I love is the presence of a ethernet port ... it allows you to connect your TV to the LAN and stream files off the network through DLNA, you don't need to spend additional $$ on the wireless stick. Updating firmware through internet is also a breeze. :2010-12-03 00:19:31 GREAT TV!!!!! - BEST TIME TO BUY - NO BUZZING - TWEEK SETTINGS    BEST TIME TO BUY - Until 10 Oct 2009 you get the TV for $1239 with no tax and free white glove delivery plus a free Blu-Ray HD DVD Player (retail $299). I just missed out on the free Blu-Ray DVD player. BUZZING PROBLEM - I just received my TV a few days ago and there is absolutely no buzzing, which was my main concern about this purchase. I ordered the TV on 27 Sept 2009 and the firmware loaded on the the TV was dated July 2009 (version 1011). Amazon had just restocked this TV before I ordered it. I waited to order as the newer versions of this TV don't seem to suffer from the buzzing problem.

Basically it was a "burn in" vs "dead pixel" face off. But burn in is a non issue...sometimes the History channel will leave its logo for a few seconds, but it's not even noticeable unless you try to find it. I play PS3 games on it and it's perfect. The 4 HDMI ports are priceless....I thought it would be overkill...but add in a TivoHD, PS3, Receiver...and I'm down to 1 side HDMI input left... The 650 also has the extra internet USB adapter ($75) is very nice as well....connecting to Flickr, your network & Yahoo Weather is very nice. not built in but, so what. The TV speakers are basic and tolerable I guess, but if you are looking to get a 50" plasma, I would hope you would have a home theater in a box at least. The TOC finish is very very nice, and the touch of color really makes this set stand out...I thought I'd hate it but once it's in the house...it is nice. I think the main reason to really look at this set is the "Cinema Smooth" feature which is present on this panel....and I think only until you get to the 850 model you won't see it available. This is very nice since it delivers in the native 24p content, same frame rate as movies are recorded. and I don't have any buzzing, which some people were reporting on the AVS Forum. Well compared to my Samsung 40 40A650 LCD 120hz, which I really liked...this Plasma is a big step up. In the store the bright lights and the demo modes make the LCD stand out...but in my home setting....holy bright...it was always in movie mode...so now the kids can play games on it in, the plasma is for the living room now. The blacks and whites are more lifelike on the Plasma...although the LCD has way whiter whites...it just make it look too digital. basically I have a much better viewing angle...pic looks perfect from all angles....and it looks more "real life quality"..if that makes sense. basically I still can't get used to the "3D Soap Opera effect" on the LCD, and the speed is still nowhere to the plasma especially in sports...even with the 120hz I could catch the blur in a football. Here's my deal sealer....standard def channels, are pretty good...I can watch them again. On the LCD...standard Def..I preferred to watch an old Toshiba 36" CRT in the loft if I had to. granted it's not an 850 or 950....but the price difference is huge. at this cheap of a price, I'm thinking about getting a second...seriously it's a steal. :2010-12-03 00:17:56 Makes me feel I made the right choice    If you're in the market for a HDTV then the Samsung PN50B650 is worth a second look.
