Amazing

So I've had the TV for about one week now and was waiting until I mounted it and hooked up the surround sound before I wrote the review. The shipping process was pretty benign. Pilot, the company that shipped it, was in constant contact with me from the get. The only issue was that they didn't deliver on weekends, so I had to authorize my apt to have them drop off the TV when I wasn't home. I was a tad apprehensive of this, as I live on the third floor without elevators. Thank goodness it arrived in one piece and flawless. I did a lot of research before buying this plasma. In fact, I was set on a Samsung LED edge lit when I walked into Best Buy one day and I started looking around. One TV in particular caught my eye and it was the 50 inch pn50b650. It was more lifelike with truer colors and deeper blacks when compared to any edge lit LED. At that time I was set to buy the TV, but felt I must do my due diligence and research further. I read all the rave reviews, but I also read about the dreaded buzzing. Now, I'm not gonna lie to you...there is some buzzing, but its inaudible at practically all listening volumes, and I sit about 12 feet away. So if you are concerned about that, don't be. Second is image retention. If you don't break the TV in, I suspect you may have an issue with this. I was watching a basketball game on the CNET rec settings and had some image retention, but it quickly disappeared after using the scrolling function. So my advice on that is to just take it easy for a while on color and brightness. As for glare, I have a very brightly lit room during the day and at times there can be some glare, but I can just close the blinds. It's a small sacrifice. Now for the good stuff. The pic on this is amazing...even now as i'm breaking it in. Everything is lifelike and so true, unlike the way some LEDs make pictures seem kind of surreal.. I absolutely love this TV. I've mounted it, hooked up my mirage nanostat 5.1 and am in Heaven. Watched dark knight and was amazed. If you are having any misgivings about this TV, don't..It's an unbelievable TV, esp for the price (I got it for 1139, but now I see its up to 1439, prob because it's discontinued.) You can pay more than twice this amount for edge-lit LEDs and the picture won't be as good. If you are set on an LED, then make sure you get local dimming. Hope this review is helpful. Also, if you are deciding between 650 or 850, the only difference is the thickness of the TV. Cnet even states that blacks are deeper on the 650. You will be happy with this TV.

This television exceeded my expectations. It is so life like it is better than being there. Sports games make you feel like you are right on the court or field. You don't want to buy tickets to games because you couldn't be as close to action as this television takes you.
Movies are better than the theatre because the color and clarity are just as good or better and you have no chance of having annoying people around you.

It was a bit nerve-wracking to click on the mouse and spend so much money but everything was just as advertised.Great tv and delivery on time with no problems.

This TV is always amazing me with its clarity and sharpness of picture. The only down fall is the sound system. I'm sure that when they we're in development, they assumed that people would put a sound system with this TV. OK

As with all quality displays I highly recommend professional calibration. This set was very good out of the box and stunning after calibration. Strongly recommended!
