Strengths: Captivating picture quality. Lifelike with that "almost can walk into it" quality. Swivel stand is a nice feature. No hum or excessive heat from mine.
Weakness: I was initially concerned about a rather warm area at the top rear of the set; this has dissipated with 3 months use...hardly noticeabble now.
Isearched and researched on innumerable websites and local stores before buying this set; originally had intended to buy a Hitachi LCD, but the salesman showed me this plasma, and I was amazed at the, to me, better picture...particularly the black levels, on this plasma. I have two Samsung computer monitors, and have been well pleased with them; this flat panel TV is a purchase with which I am...
Strengths: -impeccable picture -great connectivity options -good menu controls -comfortable remote control
Weakness: -slight buzzing sound from the power supply -blacks don't compare to pioneer, but only slightly -very basic PIP
For me, the choice was between this T5084 and the Panasonic 50pz700. It is obvious to me now that I made the right choice. The Panasonics were a little bit more expensive, but they lacked a USB port, they did not have as many connections in the back (i needed 2 HDMI ports plus i wanted 1 port free). Unfortunately, the first set that I received had a major problem. the top half of the screen would...
Strengths: Great picture, 1080p, plenty of inputs for now
Weakness: Banding in some scenes, no special stretch mode, audio quality from built-in speakers is pretty basic (but not too important to me)
Coming from a CRT projection, this is my first Plasma set. I was debating between LCD and Plasma and opted for Plasma simply because I thought the picture was better (to my eyes) and you get more size for your buck (at least for now). Needless to say the picture is stunning. I like to fiddle with the inputs and connections and I've played around a lot and all of my equipment works fine with this...
Strengths: Beautiful colors. Swivel stand is more important than you think in a living room. multiple HDMI inputs. USB picture slide show feature.
Weakness: Annoying hum. Noticeable at very low volumes. Especially noticeable when wearing headphones and using the headphone jack. I use Bose head phones. Screen glares in daylight.
The picture is just awesome on this TV. I whole heartedly say buy it! I would all over again. BUT, keep this in mind; The hum is most annoying when using headphones and there is little noise other than speaking on the screen. No it\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s not my headphones. I use Bose noise canceling headphones. The hum is noticeable without head phones too at low volume levels. Screen glare is...
Strengths: Vibrant picture, accurate colors, tons of inputs, 1080p does 24, wide viewing angle, no tearing like most LCD's, swivel stand
Weakness: tv leans slightly on the swivel stand, minor image retention, gets hot
I was a little hesitant getting a plasma, since I have seen image retention on older plasma's, but decided to give it a shot. Overall, I am glad I did. The colors are very accurate, the picture is vibrant, no tearing or ghosting of fast moving objects. I like the swivel stand, but it is a bit flimsy, and my TV leans slightly to the right. Not really noticeable, and I didn't notice it right away,...
Strengths: -Very accurate colors right out of the box -Very detailed picture -Good analog & digital turner -A lot of inputs -A lot of adjustments on the menu -Great preventive options for burn-ins
Weakness: -Remote can have better layout -Blacks are both a hit and a miss -Some image retention -*Potential Quality control problems (mine has 2 stuck pixels)
I have this TV for a month. I've never brought a Samsung TV before but for most part, I was pleased for the purchase. At first everything was fine except there was 2 stuck pixels. One was on the top left of the screen and the other was at the middle right. Luckily both return to normal after about 100hr of use. I used this TV on PS3 (games & Blu-ray) and a PC. PS3 was very good via HDMI and I've...
Strengths: - This set comes with attractive glossy black frame - PQ in HD channels is out of this world - TV provides deep black shades w/ vibrant colors - Good burn-in protection features
Weakness: - Set is on the heavier side - Buzzing sound, less after use - Dissipates heat from the top - PQ in SD is avg. - SQ is avg. use with HTS
I bought my Samsung FPT5084 set right before the Super Bowl and let me tell you it did not disappoint. Yes I’m writing this review 3 months later, but I wanted to test out features and provide a comprehensive review. I want to say that this is by far one of my most cherished products I own and I highly recommend it. If you buy this set you will not be disappointed!!! I had done plenty of...
Strengths: The strengths are definitely picture quality: The black levels and color gradients are breathtaking. Other strengths include flexibility of input connections, NTSC and ATCS tuners with clear QAM.
Weakness: Audio pass through does not include Dolby Digital 5.1 only PCM, so no looping back to a limited input receiver. Distracting buzzing at low volume.
The T0584 has a impressive picture quality, great movement response and flexible and numerous input connection options. The anti-glare coating works well without sacrificing aesthetics. Cons include plasma buzzing, no support for external USB hard drives and only a few digital cameras (only USB thumb drives are supported - still a very nice feature though). Overall I would definitely recommend...
THE GOOD: Reproduces a deep level of black; offers clean image with little noise or false contouring; provides plenty of picture controls, including user-adjustable grayscale; has a sleek, extra-wide look. THE BAD: Somewhat nonlinear grayscale; some false contouring; ho-hum standard-def processing; less-effective glare-reducing screen. THE BOTTOM LINE: With accurate color and deep black levels,...

If you've been looking and can't decide - STOP! This...
Strengths: Incredible Picture - Flexible picture adjustment options. Piano black cabinet is First Class. Flexibility and number of connections make this Plasma virtually future proof.
Weakness: None - no runs, no drips, no errors.
I've looked and researched to the point my wife never thought we'd buy a TV! Let's face it, the technology landscape changes almost by the minute. In fact, the model number on this set changed with the new year! I compared side by side at the big box stores, it seems like I've read every tech article, product review, and spec document. This set is a "sleeper" in the 50inch 1080p plasma market. HD...
