This my 1st HD so I don't have any comparison but I love it so far (less than 1 month). Friends also very impressed. Only issue is since it's wall mounted, it's hard to connect stuff (I'm sure that's not unique to this tv).
Magnificent High Def TV

The Samsung 58 inch plasma TV has magnificent HD resolution With deep dark black and high contrast colors. More than enough connections to receive input from any source I have in mind including my computer. This has been a great value for me.
I love this HD Plasma!

Wow! I bought this TV to replace a 50" Panasonic plasma purchased 4 years ago. The difference in every way is amazing. The Panasonic was on the leading edge of HD when I bought it. Clearly the technology has progressed in quantum leaps.
This Samsung is beautifully constructed - super thin, clean design, high-quality materials. The TV is packed securely in a box that is not overly gigantic. It was moved several times before unpacking. When I finally did remove the box, which is very easy to do, everything was in perfect condition.
One of the big selling points for me is that it includes a stand that allows the unit to swivel.. and not just a few degrees. It really does travel close to 45 degrees in either direction - enough to cover any angle I need. The stand is a brushed silver metal and the stem is short, fat and clear. In total, it is a very attractive package.
There is a cool blue light that shines into the stem when the TV is on. This is the default setting for nearly all of the HD Samsungs. After a good bit of searching, I found the option to turn the light off in Menu > Setup (Plug and Play) > Light Effect. The stand was not an after-thought. If you don't need to mount the TV on a wall, this stand is a perfect alternative. Contrary to the User Guide, the TV came fully attached to the stand. It would be easy to remove for a wall mount installation.
The picture and on-board features are really excellent. I have it connected to a Comcast HD DVR, LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player and a Bose CineMate Series II Digital Home Theater Speaker System. The DVR and cable box are both connected with AmazonBasics Ultra-High-Speed HDMI Cable Braided (6.5 Feet/2.0 Meters) [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging].
As described by other reviewers at Amazon and on other sites, including CNET, there are numerous adjustments if you care to refine the images. Out of the box, the default settings produce a beautiful picture. I won't write about this in detail as it would be a repeat of information and positive opinions that can be found elsewhere.
I am not using the on-board speakers so I can't comment on those.
The supplied remote is fine. However, I use the Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging]. I have written separate reviews for this remote and the LG Blu-ray.
Finally, delivery by CEVA was exactly as promised - correct time and date, a call in advance of arrival, careful handling of the product. Although I have placed many hundreds of orders with Amazon in the past several years, this was my largest single product purchase. In the past, I have bought big-ticket items from other more local vendors. Based on my experience with this purchase, I would not hesitate to buy expensive product from Amazon.
Great TV But Some Related Issues

Summary: The TV picture and usability are great. The video is awesome on HD and the best I have seen on analog cable. The audio is very disappointing. I did have the buzzing problem.
Some Details: I received the set in early December. Delivery was prompt but not by the firm that delivered my earlier TV purchase from Amaazon. The carton looked liked it had been pulled from a train wreck and the guys hauling it around were OK but not very polished. They conviced me the set itself was OK so I accepted it.
The set worked great but it had the high-frequency squeal or buzz documented in many places. I could hear the noise but I had read about it many times. My wife had never read a word about the issue, but it annoyed the heck out of her. I tried and could not make it go away so I contacted Amazon. Within a few days I had a new, non-squealing set, and the old one was picked up by the more professional delivery service.
The audio was very disappointing. I'm not real fussy. My 40" Samsung is OK to listen to, for example. I sometimes get annoyed listening to this new set and how mushy it sounds. I have set it up to run through my receiver and some better speakers when I want to go that way.
Only Other Gripes: The cable mangement relies on sticky-back clips that are as useless as that sounds. I wish the set had true, two tuner PIP.
