I just want to know if their is any pixelization during sports. I have a 52 inch samsung lcd 60htz and it get choppy during fast action, does this tv do it too? or does the 600 htz take that problem away?

I've had this set for a few days, its fantastic! Only quirk is there is slight ghosting with dark objects against bright backgrounds (only during motion scenes; looks like yellow trails). I think its a drawback of the filterbright technology, but not too sure. Its not prominent enough to warrant a return though; black level is awesome, looks 'nearly' as dark as the frame around the tv in a dark environment.Coming from being a longtime 32'' LCD owner makes it even more impacting.

Yes, yes, and yes. You really must plug it in and see it work before they leave, and reject it if the screen has a crack etc. That kind of damage is not under warranty once you accept shipment. But if you insist on their living up to the White Glove delivery service, you will be fine. I think you are going to love this TV. I have the predecessor model and am thoroughly amazed at its picture, and now you can get this for much less than I did way back in 2008.

Jay,My friend and I were at Best Buy comparing this set with a LCD. They had a broadcast hockey game on and while the LCD had slight pixelization, the plasma set did not. I was very suprised actually. If you stand more than 5' away from both sets, the 720p plasma had a better picture than the 1080p LCD. The contrast was better and the colors were deeper on the plasma. For the money I would say this set is worth buying. Too bad Samsung doesn't carry a 1080p plasma in this size. :)

How big of a difference is the picture with the glitch when watching a BD? I am strongly leaning towards buying this TV. If this is only a minor flaw I am going to buy it, I just don't see paying $700 more dollars for the 860 just for this glitch. Is watching BD without cinema smooth that much of a difference? Thank you.

MANY people from slickdeals.net (and some from the AVS Forums) were very happy with their sets. There were a couple that did receive damaged sets but that happens anywhere, US-Appliance shipped out new ones after they received the damaged TVs for confirmation. I also remember reading that they were slow on shipping but people ultimately received their bundles. If there was something else wrong with the TV other than visible damage, you have to notify them within 24 hours of you receiving the delivery. Just read their policy.

I did have not bought this model, but in general, when I have received large items like TVs, they ship in the product box, i.e. there is no extra outer box added by the shipper. This is true of an LCD TV I bought from Amazon last year, as well as other items (monitors and stereo equipment) I have received from other online shippers. The packaging should be fine for protecting the TV. However, if you had concerns because of the seal being broken or other damage to the package, that might be more reason for concern, but assuming it was not tampered-with (because of your comment about the seal), the TV should have been fine.

J. Greer, which Best Buy did you get your TV from? The ones that I have visited in MI are not even carrying any 950s, I am not sure why. Also, did any of you compare the picture quality of the 950 with the 850? Is there a big improvement? Not sure which one I want to get, I realize one is LED and one is not but the A850 has a great deal on it while the 950 is on the expensive side for me. If there is a big difference I am willing to spend extra on the 950. Thanks!

I bought the 50" Samsung Plasma 3d and have never been happier. Don't believe the hype with LED tech... I do not think it is worth it. The 720p plasma looks better than the 1080p LCD. Turns out most signals are 720p. Also the burn-in has been fixed so if you watch ESPN and the ticker at the bottom is ghosting when you change the channel it goes away soon. Ummm... I also know that with the LCD you have to pay a ton to get a refresh rate that is any good. I paid $900 at Sears for my 50" 3d with a refresh rate of 600 Hz with 2 pairs of glasses. Once again... pull the trigger on the plasma. I bought the 50" Samsung Plasma 3d and have never been happier. Don't believe the hype with LED tech... I do not think it is worth it.

Stay away from Abe. They are dishonest and will rip you off. Better to buy it from a legitimate retailer or better yet wait a little while and see if prices will drop more. Since the new panasonic plasmas were announced last week this line will get replaced very soon.

This model is now discontinued as the new Samsung plasmas are going to be taking its place. Look for the new models to hit the stores in the next month or so. I dont know what the price Amazon was selling this 5084 for but I know that Circuit City has it on sale right now for $1899, so you might wanna check that out.

I just bought the 650 40 inch and can't wait. It's being delivered tomorrow..I did a lot of research and also called the Samsung company sales division..they told me there's a one year warranty and if you call with a problem during the first year they will help you in tech dept free of charge..I have to tell you that I've had a Samsung 19 inch computer monitor for three years now..it's great. when I first got it, I had a problem, and they insisted it may be the monitor not the computer itself and they said they should replace it..they did, problem cleared ..no more problem..what great customer service..it may be different with a computer monitor and the tv...in terms of policies and accessibility..I'm deciding on whether to get the extended warranty in spite of the one year because for me, this is an expensive item and a big investment..

I pre-ordered when it became available again. Everything I read regarding the BD-UP5000 has been very favorable. A user review on the AVS forum for the new LG combo has pointed out some flaws, especially with SD DVD playback. I only have room for one machine and the Samsung looks to be worth the wait. I hope it is not delayed further.

I just ordered the 52V4100 as well. Was this close to getting the Panasonic Plasma, but after reading last week Pioneer and Toshiba are dumping Plasma technology, and next year Samsung and Vizio are phasing it out, I am led to think Plasma is losing the battle for some reason. Perhaps it's all the rumors of burn in, break-in periods, excessive heat and energy usage. I don't know. I went with the Sony. The price I got was too good to pass up ($1250 with free shipping).

I ordered a 4071f from them, and it appeared to be a brand new tv. It was in very good shape. I decided it was too small for my living room, but it was in really good condition. That has been my experience.

That's good to know Bridger. I have this one (Samsung plasma PN50B450) as well and the manual states that brightness and contrast should be reduced to prevent burn in while play video games. Also appreciate the first hundred hour rule-mixing tv with games.Thanks. The only thing I'm worried about is my kids walking away from a video game and a screen just sitting there. But hey, for the price you could buy another one and not spend what you can for a 1080p lcd 52 inch. I know that defeats the purpose but isn't that why you would be interesed in this tv anyways? for the price?

Awesome, thanks SD! The Panny G10 and V10 sets looks great and I love plasmas (have a Pioneer 5020 up in the bonus room), but I need an LCD for my living room due to a space issue (those 2 inches make a difference). If for any reason I don't love the B750, I'll be exchanging it for a 50" G10. Thanks again!

I am thinking about buying this TV but, based on several reviews, plasma TV's experience problems like "burn ins". I would like to plug the TV in and watch it ,with the worry of "breaking it in". Perhaps plasma' are not meant for me. Any reactions?

My tv was just picked up! Called Samsung and got the same response they gave you - a repairman would come out and if it couldn't be fixed it would have to be sent away for service. As you, I did not think I needed to have a brand new tv sent out for repair and decided to return it. I am now watching my old 19" set (gave my 26" away when I got the Samsung!). Have you had any luck yet? I am considering Toshiba.
