    Duration of ownership:

    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

    Weaknesses: - 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

    Overall Evaluation: 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 research as many of you are doing and will do because let?s face it this is an important purchase. Time and time again I found great reviews; after all it was rated as one of the best HD Plasma sets of 2007. After using this set I understand why so many people have good things to say. There are so many positives and very few cons and I?m glad I joined the club. To add to the charm, this set comes with on site 2 year parts and labor manufacturer?s warranty. One can also extend this warranty by 1 year if they use their credit card for the purchase (e.g. AMEX). At the moment the price is very reasonable, so take the plunge and you won?t regret it. People, if you want a great 50" 1080p Plasma set, then THIS IS YOUR SET. You can certainly thank me later after experiencing this true work of art.P.S. Due to word count restriction, this is only an abridged version of my review.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Incredible Picture - Flexible picture adjustment options.Piano black cabinet is First Class.Flexibility and number of connections make this Plasma virtually future proof.

    Weaknesses: None - no runs, no drips, no errors.

    Overall Evaluation: 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 Cable and DVD source material appears nearly 3-D! The color and black level is as good as sets priced 2 or 3 times as much. Bottom line: from picture quality to the number and variety of hi-def connectivity to the way it looks on the wall- there's no contest - the Samsung FP-T5084 is the better quality and better value!
