Product Description
Measuring just over an inch in depth, Samsung's Series 6 Plasma HDTVs is the world's slimmest 1080p resolution plasma sets to feature built-in ATSC tuners.
Breathtaking Picture Quality
Despite their slim design, Samsung's Plasma HDTVs harness the latest display technology to produce unmatched picture performance and deliver the ultimate in HDTV viewing experience.
These advancements include an extremely high dynamic contrast ratio along with Ultra FilterBright technology, which uses arrays of black-coated color enhancement film to minimize glare and maximize contrast. Additionally, Samsung's Ultra Filter Bright Plus reduces the luminance in black levels by 50 percent over previous models for one of the darkest blacks ever seen on an HDTV.
And Samsung's exclusive Wide Color Enhancer 3 maps HD or SD signals to the panel's native color space, which covers 110 percent of the HD specification, helping the set portray hues in lifelike brilliance.
Sophisticated Multimedia and Networking Skills
The Series 8 and 6 plasma HDTVs are also equipped with the Internet@TV - Content Service platform that brings the best of the Web to the television. Powered by the innovative Yahoo! Widget Engine, Samsung's Internet@TV - Content Service enables users to access internet based multimedia content from their favorite Internet sources . They'll not only be able to take care of everyday tasks like tracking stocks and staying on top of headline news, but users can also browse videos, share photos and interact with friends. The suite of services ranges from a host of Yahoo! properties (Flickr, News, Weather and Finance) to third-party content from well-known names including USA Today, YouTube and eBay.
Summary: Nice Picture, Great Price, Horrible Product 2010-06-17
Comment: The picture is great, specially for the price but this TV has broken twice now. All it does it click when it breaks. Do a search, this appears to be a common problem. Each time it beaks, it takes about two weeks to get it fixed. Something about not having the part in stock. I will never buy a Samsung TV again.

Summary: Samsung 50in Plasma TV 2010-05-21
Comment: I found this TV thru Consumer Reports. It was one of the best TV's in my budget and it was highly recommended by this magazine. I couldn't find the TV in stores though. The Samsung website had the TV listed for a much highter price than the magazine listed. Amazon was the only place to find this TV at the price that I was looking for. I've never ordered something this big or expensive thru Amazon so I was pretty scared to order it but I took a chance. I was relieved that when the TV was delivered, there wasn't a scratch on any surface of this beautiful TV. The delivery man set it up for me. The TV has performed as well as the magazine stated. I'm very happy with my Amazon purchase.

Summary: Don't waste your money on Samsung Junk 2010-05-02
Comment: The picture on this TV is awesome, when it works. I've now had it for about 4 months and it has had to have the main PC board replaced twice. Now, the Samsung PC Share Manager progarm that comes with it is locking up on my computer. It won't let me uninstall it or reinstall it. I called Samsung and they told me I have to call my computer manufacturer to support their program. Google PC Share Manager and you will see nobody else can get this program off their computer either. It makes no sense to me at all that they would give you a program that they cannot support. To top it off, the customer disservice rep I talked to played the old "accidentally hung up on me while I was on hold" trick. He was rude from the beginning of the call. This was my 3rd and last Samsung product. I couldn't decide between Panasonic and Samsung, and I guess I chose wrong. Do yourself a favor and don't make the same mistake I made. Buy a different brand.
