Reviewed by: Chiral888Updated: 26-Apr-08 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 r... |

Reviewed by: bjbwarrenUpdated: 27-Feb-08 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! |

Reviewed by: apmechUpdated: 25-Feb-08 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. Weaknesses: 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. Overall Evaluation: 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 very happy...I'd definitely recommend it! |

Reviewed by: sylarUpdated: 14-Feb-08 Strengths: -impeccable picture-great connectivity options-good menu controls-comfortable remote control Weaknesses: -slight buzzing sound from the power supply-blacks don't compare to pioneer, but only slightly-very basic PIP Overall Evaluation: 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 not work, as if those pixels were not getting any electricity. A call to a Samsung technician revealed that most likely one of the buffer boards was loose in its socket, and that they would most certainly fix it. i didn't want to take any chances and exchanged the tv set (Vanns.com was very accomodating. A+).The second set arrived and worked perfectly out of the box. I could not be happier with the picture. about a week in however, a slight buzz started coming from the back. it's not noticeable if you have any sound coming from the tv speakers. we use a stereo receiver to pipe soun... |

Reviewed by: feldsbarUpdated: 22-Jan-08 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. Weaknesses: 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. Overall Evaluation: 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 this TV. |
