Great TV!

I bought this TV to replace a 55" Mitsubishi HDTV that I have had for 8 years. I have researched the purchase to death for 2 years. I did not want to go down in size, (I considered the 52" LCD), as the placement would add 2 feet distance, but could not afford the larger LCD. The plasma screen is fabulous. Lots of great features. I bought the Avia II calibration DVD, but the Samsung was spot on in the standard mode. No adjustments needed. We already have a 32" Samsung LCD in the bedroom and have been very happy with it. This was my first major purchase from Amazon and it could not have gone better. The TV arrived 2 days early and the White Glove service was exactly that. The driver helped unpack and set up the TV. We inspected it and powered it up. No problem. I saved around $1,000. over the big box stores.

This is one AWESOME TV!!

This is the TV to buy! Absolute perfect screen, displys HD broadcasts and movies, etc with perfection. Best choice I ever made. Amazon has such an amazing price that you cannot go wrong buying this TV from Amazon. Local electronics stores want a thousand dollars more for this product. It came in ahead of promised date in perfect condition. Amazon's white glove shipping service is a great selling point. They bring it inside your house, unpack it, and plug it in to make sure it works before you sign for it. Take my word for it... BUY IT!!

BEWARE of Amazon Customer Service

This is a great TV. I bought this TV from Amazon as they were offering a $200 rebate over Labor Day Weekend. I received an email from Amazon stating that Amazon had made a mistake in listing the rebate as cash. The actual rebate was for $200 in sports memoribillia. Amazon would not honor the cash rebate even though it was their mistake. If you buy from Amazon beware that they will not honor their own mistake.

Outstanding TV With An Amazing Picture

I spent the good portion of 2 years researching and waffling back and forth on a high def TV. Was 42" plasma big enough? Was LCD better? What would make more sense for the PS3 and Xbox 360? All of these things held me back until finally this TV grabbed my attention. Samsung has created an amazing product. The touch of color adds style and class and this TV has it all. 4 HDMI ports, a PC input, a USB port to load music and photos. The options are endless. The picture is absolutely stunning and out of the box it was amazingly user friendly. This TV has the size and specs to meet all your needs. Gaming on it is awesome with no lag effects like some LCD's have experienced and if you like football then you will love this TV. And a blu ray movie on this set is simply lifelike The white glove service was my only issue. They deliver it and bring it inside, but other than turning it on that is all they do, so take your time examining the TV. Other than that the experience with Amazon was great and they credited my account within one day when the price dropped so I cannot complain. This is a must have for the price.

Samsung 58 Plasma Touch of Red

I am happy with the TV, Great picture and attrative set. Compared to other manufacturers, Samsung has the best picture in this price range and size. I bought the Samsung 52 inch LCD 120 hrtz Touch of Red and I was blown away by picture but had a problem with set in menu mode so I decided to jump up to 58 inch. A down side is plasma heat and power consumption, second the picture does blur alittle time to time trying keep up with poor analog TV signal. Garbage in Garbage out. With digital TV and or good DVD this set is just as good as 52 inch, Great Picture. I would give it 5 stars but all Samsung sets have so called PIP or PAP where you must go into menu to get PIP and you can not swap picture and must go into menu again for PIP sound, A real pain!!!!So as for useable PIP (Football Sunday) forgit it. It is a good idea to have power conditioner like panamax for this plasma set as well, it is sensative to power changes, makes the tube flash a bit. You will like this TV for the price on Amazon.
