Weakness: * Image retention is quite common, but always seems to disappear * Refresh rate seems a little slow and is noticeable when playing video games or watching movies with explosions
This is my first HDTV, and to be honest, I was totally blown away by the picture quality. My father loved the picture as well, so much that he went and purchased the same TV the next weekend. You will not be disappointed with this TV. Highly Recommended!
Strengths: HDTV, price, value, performance
Weakness: Standard Definition DirecTV/ Dish signals
OK my fellow geeks....I am a IT Director for a major casino so I am quite familiar with technology these days. Anyway, I have to say that overall I am impressed with the HPT5064 running HD channels on DirecTV. I want to touch on something that I NEVER see mentioned in any reviews that is quite important. The HPT5064 offers very vivid and sharp pictures in HD like what I expected but, like with...
Strengths: 1. Price/quality ratio 2. External appearance of unit 3. Color quality 4. Ease of use 5. Good image quality on regular DVDs
Weakness: 1. Ghosting still apparent after 3 months of use 2. Generic plasma issues - so-so SD TV image quality, high energy use
Samsung is known better for its LCD TV's, but the plasmas are worth seeing. Overall, I chose this unit for several reasons- the price for quality (significantly lower than comparable LCDs), the external appearance (very sleek- looks fantastic as a wall-mount), and the overall picture quality. I have not been disappointed. I was concerned because several reviewers of similar samsung plasmas...
Strengths: Beautiful image!
Weakness: No variable sound output, IR is blocked by a center speaker at the bottom front, anti-reflective doesn't do much.
This Samsung has an amazing image. Menu works well, setup was easy, image is amazing. Weakness are few, but there are a few. There is no variable sound output so you can't use the TV remote to adjust stereo sound (universal remote would solve, however). Anti-reflective coating on screen doesn't do much. Also, placing a center speaker at the bottom front of the TV blocks the IR port so the TV...
Strengths: 3 HDMI, 15000:1 Contrast Ratio, sleek design, Anti-Glare, Samsung Quality
Weakness: Poor speakers, tilt in stand
This is the brightest picture avaliable in the market today. With a contrast ratio of 15000:1 this Plasma really "Pops". I spent months researching TV's and found that this one blows away the competition. I thought long and hard about the Panasonic but when compared side-by-side this picture just stuck out. The speakers are poor but if you are throwing down this kind of money then you should have...
Strengths: Sharp picture, great whites, blacks, and verything inbetween
Weakness: SD just okay.
I'd been looking to buy a plasma for the last year and then bingo, saw the sister model to this (the 5054) at best buy. The whites seemed more like what you see on the Samsung 32" LCDs, yet with the outstanding blacks associated with plasmas. It also seemed sharper than the other sets without having that artificial edge look. I took my daughter back to BB and told her to pick the set with the...
Strengths: Great picture, lot of pic. adjustments
Weakness: None so far
This is my first plasma and I have to admit - this is great TV! Stunning HD picture, good SD picture, lot of picture adjustments. I spent hours and hours on-line researching Best Plasma TV's for the money and Samsung HP-T5064 came out first. It's cheaper then Panasonic TH50PX77U from on-line retailers but has better overall picture, nice black shining cabinet. I like screen burn-in features. 3...
Strengths: nice picture
Weakness: stopped working quickly - still awaiting repair
I bought a Samsung HPT5064 in mid August because i thought the picture was fantastic. Mid November it quit. I'm still waiting on the repair. Samsung customer service keeps saying they first try to repair. Have been on the phone with them several times. I think they should have replaced a unit that was only a few months old. Based on the warranty service alone, I'd recommend going with a brand...
Strengths: Colorful and sharp picture VGA and USB inputs Excellent value
Weakness: PIP not very useful Glare reduction not quite as good as Panasonic and Pioneer
I shopped for probably a month or more before deciding on the Samsung 5064. This set has an overall package that won me over. The picture sharpness was best in class for a 768P set, certainly the equal of any Pioneer and better than Panasonic. Colors are vibrant yet still very natural unlike about every LCD TV that I looked at. As a bonus, the picture has more adjustability through the menu than...

Plasma picture is amazing with true HD programming!
Strengths: Colors!, better viewing angles, fast response/ no ghosting, famous plasma 3-d "window effect", more even and realistic lighting effects than LCD backlight, best picture
Weakness: can burn-in an image if left with static image on for a few days. Not quite as bright as LCD flourescent backlight.
Probably the only reason to go with LCD is if you have an exceptionally bright room, or play video games all the time where there is a static frame or image on the screen all the time. On the other hand, the faster response times of plasma makes them better for games that reqire fast action. LCD's are brighter because they have one (usually flourescent) light lighting up the whole screen. That is...
