Duration of ownership:
Strengths: One of the few flat panel TVs I found that had a swivel base, this makes watching from various angles in the room much never. The TV is very bright and is easily viewable in our large family room
Weaknesses: Despite anti-reflective coating, the screen is pretty reflective - it is noticeable, but not terrible since the TV itself is so bright
Overall Evaluation: Overall an excellent purchase. The unit itself is very glossy and, despite the anti-glare coating, picks up reflects a lot of light. This is only a problem on really bright days and is mitigated by the fact that the TV is so bright. The unit has a swivel base that has come in really handy; it makes viewing from various angles in the room a breeze.

Strengths: Beautiful image!
Weaknesses: No variable sound output, IR is blocked by a center speaker at the bottom front, anti-reflective doesn't do much.
Overall Evaluation: 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 channel cannot be changed (top is too narrow to place a larger center speaker). Otherwise, a great TV!

Strengths: Great picture, lot of pic. adjustments
Weaknesses: None so far
Overall Evaluation: 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 HDMI inputs also big plus - Panasonic has only 2. Unit also has USB port - Panasonic does not. PIP is also very good function, although it would be nice to have 2 tuners for PIP in order to watch 2 different programs at the same time. Overall, I recommend this TV very much, no question it is one of the best in it's class.

Strengths: 3 HDMI, 15000:1 Contrast Ratio, sleek design, Anti-Glare, Samsung Quality
Weaknesses: Poor speakers, tilt in stand
Overall Evaluation: 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 a surround sound speaker system set up. I heard complaints that the stand tilts a little and well....it does. I purchased @ Vann's and they are definetly the way to go. Good customer service and quick shipping. Buyer beware when it comes to those cheap online super stores......you will end up paying for it in the end. All in all I would give this TV two thumbs up.

Strengths: Sharp picture, great whites, blacks, and verything inbetween
Weaknesses: SD just okay.
Overall Evaluation: 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 best looking picture. Took her 2 seconds (the Samsung). Before the TV arrived I was a little worried that going from a 36" Sony CRT to this wouldn't seem like the display would be much bigger. And as it turns out the height of the display is almost identical to the Sony, but you get about an extra foot of width which makes it seem much larger. Right out of the box the color looked right on. Only adjustment was to turn down the brightness. This set has a QAM tuner (not sure the 5054 does) that picks up the free HD digital channels without having to use the cox HD box. I also tried the OTA antenna and got the same free channels but no difference with picture quality. The SD channels are alright PQ wise but pale in comparison to a HD signal or the PQ from an up-converting DVD player. This set has some other features, but the main thing is the PQ and I am very satisfied.
