    Duration of ownership:1 Months

    Strengths: 1080i programming looks very good. The black sleek look will look cool in almost any room.

    Weaknesses: Regular programming is average, has difficulty with some Reds, the processor is not really fast. Speakers are average.

    Overall Evaluation: Purchased it about three weeks ago, looks really good on HD, especially through HDMI connection. Havent had any problems with it, though the sound quality is average at best and at times it has issues going from black screen to white. 2 HDMI inputs are definitely a plus. Its design looks very good, Samsung is know for sleek design and this one doesnt dissapoint. For the price you pay it is still better or similar to most 50 inch HDTVs on the market (1080P excluded).

    Strengths: 2 Year WarrantyGreat designSamsung Quality

    Weaknesses: Anti-Glare screen seems to take away brightness

    Overall Evaluation: After buying and returning a Phillips TV I could not be happier with the Samsung. The black bezel is beautiful and the picture is out of this world. The only complaint is a soft buzzing sound coming from the back of the TV. I called Samsung and they are getting someone out right away. Now that is what i call customer service! This TV is so bright and life-like that I find myself mesmerized by the picture. This is a great tv and with a 2 year warranty what do i have to worry about?

    Strengths: Picture is outstanding compared to other expensive Plasma on the market

    Weaknesses: Typical Plasma, produces alot of heat and was hoping to have more HDMI output.

    Overall Evaluation: This is the first time I have owned a Samsung TV and I would say this will not be the last. I am very impressed with the picture quality and not to mentioned the ease of using the remote control. Setting it up was a breeze and not to mention the Wiselink. Now I can see the real digital pictures at its best on a 50" plasma TV. I would recommend this to my family and to those who are looking for a new Plasma. The quality and the price is not bad compared to other Plasma out there in the market. Definitely a buy in my book.

    Strengths: Picture quality and color are outstandingPIP, 6 way speakers, 2 year warranty.Great looking cabinet

    Weaknesses: Average picture on non hi def channels

    Overall Evaluation: I researched all flat panel plasma TV's for 6 months and came down to this and the Pioneer. Best Buy and Circuit City all recommended it. When I saw it go to $1800 with 6 months financing from an online retailer, I bought from them with no problems whatsoever. I am extremely pleased with this TV.

    Strengths: Picture Quality...2 HDMI

    Weaknesses: Sound Quality could be better

    Overall Evaluation: I purchased this Plasma online having fallen in love with it at major store. Saved myself a fortune and got one of the best plasma's on the market. Easy plug and play with no issues what so ever. Digital Amp, DVD, VCR, and Cable box all came together and now I'm enjoying this great set. If you are considering this set or the S5053 don't hesitate you will not be disappointed.

    Strengths: Vibrant color

    Weaknesses: Lack of Built-in DVR

    Overall Evaluation: I have been watching TV at friend's house who owns a Samsung HP-S5073 50" Plasma TV. The color and functionality of this TV unit is much superior than all other TV manufacturers including Sony that I check at local BestBuy and Circuit City stores. I wish the unit had a Built-in DVR which would have completed all my requirements for a fantastic TV unit.

    Strengths: 2 HDMI, great color depth and crystal clear picture.

    Weaknesses: None so far

    Overall Evaluation: I had originally purchased the HP-S5072, but it was replaced by Samsung due to a problem they could not fix. And they replaced it without question and in a nice timely manner. The 5073 has addressed all the minor complains people had about the 5072. There are now 2 HDMI inputs. The blue light that used to stay on is now able to be turned off. It was around the power button and was SUPER bright and lit up my entire living room. And the samsung DNle function which is usually good can now be turned off whenever the user chooses. The 5072 did not give you an option to turn it off. And finally, you can change the format to fill the entire screen with the remote. The 5072 would not allow you to "stretch" the picture when using the HDMI cable. That is no longer the case. The picture is awesome. Even standard definition channels are pretty good with this set. A great TV. For the money only one other plasma maker will compete: Panasonic.
