I could not pass up the top rated plasma in 58" for under $2M delivered. It arrived inside my garage in 3 days. I hung it on the wall where I hav previously had my 50" Dell Plasma. It works great. I am running the cable box and DVD thru a Pioneer high end AV receiver which transfers everything thru a HDMI cable to the TV. Everything is crystal clear and razor sharp. To think we are just getting this and it has been in use in Japan for years! This is the 2nd big plasma I have purchased thru mailorder and I must say, it sure beats dragging the set from the store. There are several Samsung PN58 models and this is one of the more high end ones. I have not had the opportunity (or interest) to utilize some of the fetures.

I was a little nervous about ordering a 58 inch plasma TV on the internet. It was $300 cheaper than I could buy at a big box store in my city, and I fretted about what would I do if the set arrived broken. My wife was ready to pounce as she thought getting it locally was smarter, but I heard good things about here and I took the plunge. In a sentence; I LOVE IT!! The Samsung 58 inch has the best color I have ever seen. The set arrived in perfect condition and it has worked flawlessly. I have started watching baseball games, just to see the sharp blades of grass, and which pitchers didn't shave that day. I have never seen such a sharp, clear picture. OK, word of warning; There are cables (five-pronged) which are designed to deliver a true HD digital signal. DO NOT plug the coaxial cable from your cable box into the back of the set and expect premium performance. You need the HDMI cables or the HD cables. But if you use those the picture is phenomenal. If you can, BUY THIS SET!

I've always loved Samsung HDTV's, and managed to buy this 58" when they had a $1000 off promotion. The TV was delivered for free within a week and is definitely larger than you think it is. The colors are fantastic, with high contrast ratios and superb image updating. Some of my favorite features include the 4 HDMI inputs, the iPod-style remote control that includes a rotating wheel for channel surfing, and the TV coax input that obviates the need for a Comcast digital TV receiver (one fewer remote - hooray!). The only negative is the mediocre sound quality, but then again I've never seen a TV whose speakers could even shine a candle to external Bose or Harmon Kardon speakers. All in all, I would definitely recommend this one to anyone interested in investing in an HDTV that will provide many years of quality entertainment. Enjoy the touch of color!

This TV is simply amazing. At 58 inches I was expecting I would have to give up some picture quality due to pixelation which I noticed significantly when I was looking at LCDs. At this size, the picture on this unit is just so much better then I was expecting. Fast motion response which is good for sports. The blacks are very deep and the colors are very vivid and rich. Simply incredible. This is truly the next generation Plasma technology and puts it back out in front of LCD. And this is a blockbuster price.

ATSC - Means 2009 Digital TV Ready
Buy with confidence that ATSC TVs are designed for the future!

The ATSC Standard for Digital Television (DTV) encompasses a number of Standards, Practices, and Guidelines for Digital Television. What it means for today's television consumer is that ATSC TVs are ready for the future!  They comply with the requirements for the transition to Digital TV sets and all digital transmission to occur by February 17th, 2009.  ATSC Digital Ready TVs have digital tuners already.  TVs and related Tuner products that are not ATSC will require a separate digital tuner after the transition date.

How To Pick Your Best TV Size? How Do You Watch TV?
Does your family gather together on movie nights?   Are you a lone sports fan who really gets into your favorite game, or has the whole neighborhood over?  Do you have an intimate TV room, or a huge home theater?  Do you watch in the bedroom, or the living room?

The size of the TV that's best for you and your family depends on how you like to spend your time and the size of your room.

  • FAMILY ROOMS
    For family rooms and other spaces with high TV use, 37 inch and larger are the most popular choices.  In large rooms, the largest size possible is usually best.
  • BEDROOMS
    For bedrooms, offices and other medium-sized spaces, look in the 26 to 37 inch size range.
  • KITCHENS & SMALL ROOMS
    For kitchens and smaller rooms where you are closer to the TV, consider a 15 to 19 inch screen.

How To Pick Your Best TV Type?
Several important factors determine the quality of your HDTV picture.  So how do you find a picture you like?
  • TV TECHNOLOGY
    As you probably already know, there are several TV technologies available.  LCD televisions are thin and lightweight with a high-quality picture, even in brightly lit rooms.  Plasma screens are heavier than LCDs but may deliver a slightly picture in dark rooms with more intense colors.  DLP TVs offer brilliant screens, but are thicker than LCDs or Plasma.
  • RESOLUTION
    Think about TV resolution as the number of pixels contained in one "frame" of a television show or movie.  More pixels in each frame will give you better picture detail.  720P and 1080P are the two most common resolution standards for HDTV now.  With about 1 million pixels in each frame, 720P provides a vivid, high definition picture. 1080P offers the highest level of HDTV quality with over 2 million pixels in each frame, creating even greater picture details.  While broadcast is mostly limited to 720P, 1080P is the standard for high definition disc players like Blu-Ray.
  • CONTRAST RATIO
    Contrast ratio is a number that measures the difference in light intensity between the brightest white and the darkest black on the screen.  In general the higher the contrast ratio number, the better the image quality.  Most times, you will find Dynamic Contrast Ratio specified, but be sure you are comparing the same type of contrast ratio.
  • CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT
    Another way to improve contrast ratio is with contrast enhancement technology. Most of the time, this uses back lighting to improve apparent contrast.  This is especially helpful in dark rooms, as it helps your eyes adjust to the best light levels.  This dynamically improves contrast, resulting in deep blacks in darker scenes without losing fine details in shadows and other dark areas of the picture.
  • BIT COLOR
    Another important contributor to picture quality is what is called "bit depth".  This is the size of the number that is used to assign colors on the screen.  The higher the number, the more displayable colors will appear (see the image below).  Of course this is only true if both the display processor and the panel support that number of bits!


More Bits = More Colors

What Is High Definition And How Is It Different From Standard Definition?
High Definition or "HD" is a technological leap forward from standard definition, with up to 6x the picture resolution, so that what you see is sharper and more realistic.  Regular TVs and the TV channels you watch at home are typically in standard definition (unless you watch HD channels).  DVD are also in standard definition.  Standard definition (480i & 480p) is lower quality than high definition.  Many older TV sets are standard def, and can only show standard def content (programming).  Many new TVs are called High Definition TVs (HDTV).  They are capable of showing high def content in: 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, all high definition formats, but 1080p provides the highest picture quality of them all.

How To Protect Your HDTV And Make It All Work!
You've bought your ideal television or home theater, but have you considered how you will protect it, or make it all work together?  It's not as complex as it might seem, but it is important to consider, since devices may work differently, and have incompatible modes.  Plus after investing in your hardware, bad things can happen to damage them.
  • MOST IMPORTANT: SURGE PROTECTION
    Power Protection For Your HDTV & Home TheaterIf you have a computer, you know all about surge suppressors and battery back-up UPS devices.  But do you have a UPS for your HDTV and Home Theater system?  HDTVs and Home Theater systems are just as susceptible to surge and power damage as computers, so it is critical you add a very good surge suppressor or UPS to your setup at once! Plus if you have a UPS, you'll be able to watch TV or listen to music if the power goes off! (for as long as the battery lasts of course!)

    Click Here for Power Protection products.

     
  • CONTROLLING IT ALL: ADVANCED REMOTE CONTROLS
    Advanced Remote Controls For Your HDTV & Home TheaterAlmost every device you have came with a remote control, some even are called Universal Remote Controls.  But every device, HDTV, or Home Theater component has special features and functions, not supported by the generic Universal Remotes, especially if you want "One Button" control of several devices at once.  For these you need Advanced Remote Controls, that not only control everything, but reduce it all down to One Button tasks that even a Cave Man could operate! 

    Click Here for Advanced Remote Controls.

     
  • GOT HELP? GET AN INSTALLATION & SETUP SERVICE
    Expert Certified Installation & Setup Help!With some of today's HDTV and Home Theater systems, you may want to consider getting expert help from certified technicians that can quickly install your HDTV on your wall, hide the cables and wires, balance the display settings and the 7.1 surround sound, for the maximum in sound and picture quality.  You can still tell your friends and family that you did it, it will just be our secret!

A Quick Guide To TV Definition Terms

HDTV -
(High Definition) television monitors reveal either 720 progressive (720p), or a minimum of 1080 interlaced lines, known as 1080i. An HDTV will show 540 lines at a time. These resolutions create extraordinarily sharp, lifelike images as well as the truest and most vivid colors ever seen on a television screen.
EDTV -
stands for Enhanced Definition Television. EDTV monitors display at least 480 progressive lines (480p). Because EDTV shows more lines simultaneously than SDTV, its pictures are sharper, richer and more realistic.
SDTV - Standard Definition TV is what’s rapidly becoming old-fashioned television. Although SDTV offers a decent picture we’ve grown accustomed to, it features up to 480 interlaced lines (480i), but can show only 240 of them at any given time. Although SDTV produces a sharp picture and good color, its performance is dramatically inferior to HDTV or EDTV.

How Compatible Is HDMI?
HDMI is fully backward compatible with PCs, displays and consumer electronics devices incorporating the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) standard. Both HDMI and DVI were pioneered by Silicon Image and are based on TMDS®, Silicon Image's powerful, high-speed, serial link technology. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, and with 5 Gbps of bandwidth, HDMI can accommodate future enhancements and requirements. Because HDMI was designed specifically for consumer electronics applications, it offers an array of additional consumer enhancements. As digital content can manifest itself in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, HDMI-enabled systems will automatically configure to display content in the most effective format. In addition, if implemented in a specific device, HDMI enables a single remote point and click, allowing manufacturers to deliver home theater systems that automatically configure from a single command from a remote control -- turning on or off the components necessary to view a DVD, listen to a CD, or watch cable or satellite TV.

What is the difference between HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 1.3a, or 1.3b?
For consumers, there is no difference between HDMI version 1.3 and 1.3a or 1.3b. These minor revisions to the specification typically relate to manufacturing or testing issues and do not impact features or functionality in a specific product. In addition, HDMI Licensing, LLC is actively working with manufacturers to reduce confusion for consumers by de-emphasizing version numbers and focusing instead on product features and functionality.

How can I identify which HDMI products support a specific feature, such as DVD Audio or Deep Color?
The key for consumers to remember is that HDMI has consistently enabled a variety of the most innovative new technologies (whether they are DVD Audio, SACD, 1080p/60, etc.). However, in many cases, it is up to each manufacturer to choose which features to implement in any given product. The manufacturer can choose the mix of features that makes sense for its customers and products. So, customers must choose devices that have the features that they want (instead of focusing on which version of HDMI is implemented by the device.). Consumers interested in confirming whether a particular consumer electronics product supports DVD-Audio or any other feature over HDMI are urged to review users’ manuals and product reviews, or check with manufacturers directly.

What Is Firmware Upgradeable?
Many of today's electronics product are designed for today's standards.  Yet like personal computers, they have advanced capabilities that will let them be upgraded for use with new technologies and standards.  The ability to upgrade the firmware of an electronics product allows you to extend the useful lifespan of the device you purchase, and be able to expect support for many (if not all) of the emerging new standards.

What is the difference between Active HDMI and Passive HDMI?
There is no active or passive HDMI in the HDMI specification. These terms apply to cables. Active cables have built-in electronics to enable long cable runs, and typically these cables require a power supply. These cables use active electronics to help push the signal farther than typical passive cables.

What Is A VESA Mount?
A VESA mount is one that has been designed to be compatible with the Flat Display Mounting Interface (FDMI) Standard.  The standard defines all aspects of the mount dimensions and characteristics, to assure full compatibility between compliant TV manufacturers and the manufacturers of compliant or certified mounting hardware.

Remember, if you are looking to mount your monitor or TV on a VESA compatible mount or stand, check the individual product specificiations to make sure it is a VESA Mount compatible device!

VESA promotes and develops timely, relevant, open standards for the display and display interface industry, ensuring interoperability and encouraging innovation and market growth.

About HDTV Viewing Angles
The Viewing Angle of any TV is an important specification.  The wider the viewing angle, the more enjoyable your experience.  Viewing angles above 150° means you can view your TV from a reasonable range - from the front and off to the sides.  However, viewing angles above 170° are best!  Many of today's Plasma and LCD HDTVs offer viewing angles of 178°, and their images do not suffer from degradation at very high viewing angles.   LCD TVs were originally designed for a one user experience, as a computer monitor, but the technology has kept pace with the demands for ever increasing viewing angles, and most offer excellent viewing experiences.  Between LCD and Plasma; Plasma TVs have the advantage, but by a small margin.

Viewing angles are not an issue with projectors because the light source is coming from in front of the screen, and not from behind. However, the surface on which you project (screen or wall surface) may have a slight impact on viewing angles, so it is important to choose the best screen possible.
