Samsung PN51F5500 51-Inch 1080p Plasma Reviews :
Excellent 3D quality and very good HD!
Before buying, I primarily used Consumers Report ratings for the technical evaluations of this product and the users’ feedbacks for some cons. I hooked up 3 HDMI—-DirecTV (STB), Samsung BD 3D player, and an Onkyo receiver (ARC), a component hookup for a karaoke player as well as a Samsung Skype camera. I used Cable Matters HDMI cables with 3D and 4K capability and 1.4 support. Since I want all my audio coming out of my receiver’s 5.1 channels with a minimum of remote controls and cables, I directly hooked up my STB, BD player, and karaoke to this HDTV and then connect this unit’s HDMI (ARC) to the HDMI OUT of my ARC capable receiver.
No other HDMI hookup to my receiver is needed. If you have a proprietary Samsung Skype camera, only one of the 2 USBs will work for this purpose. This unit also has a built-in Wi-Fi wireless connectivity for internet connections. The remote control has a lot of smart features which need a lot of reading and familiarization so take your time. My best reason why I chose this over other brand names is the excellent quality of the 3D for it’s moderate price.
Here is where the CR ratings came in after reading a lot of user’s feedbacks. I prefer objectivity than subjectivity if you get my drift. As an actual experience, I had a Panasonic GT model and its 3D quality is actually not as great compared to this. For a 3D afficionado like me, I may not even want to upgrade to an OLED or 4K HDTV in the next 5 years or so unless it’s also in 3D. Overall, I love and highly recommend it. Also, don’t forget to ask for the FREE Samsung BD player when you purchase this!
Wow. Great picture quality, great xbox 360 3D action!
Update: I’ve had the tv for a month or so and still love it. Easily the best picture of any set I’ve owned. Do yourself a favor and switch the picture to dynamic mode. For gaming turn on game mode (choose ‘only for this source’). It uses more power but the picture improvement is dramatic. And turn off synced to power. The remote is nice but I find that it has one fatal flaw that ruins it for me. The EPG in smart tv hub is awesome but doesn’t remember which channel you changed to. Scrolling down to the hd channels each time is a pain.
Really thin, great picture quality. Screen mirroring from android is boss. 3D Call of Duty Black Ops 2 is so good it makes me thing 3D may not be hype. For video games at least. Just remember to lower the resolution on the xbox to 1080i or lower. The 3D glasses are darker when they are on – if the game is showing doubled images then you don’t have the glasses on.
The remote has a bit of a learning curve but the touchpad really does work well and the remote has less than 10 buttons. entering usernames and passwords by touchpad isn’t great but the remote and the way they implemented autocomplete make it less painful – 4 letters are projected around the letter under the cursor. The letters are based on previous entries. So typing the same word more than once is quick.
