5 Stars OUTSTANDING PICTURE QUALITY!
The Samsung PN58B650 58-inch Plasma HDTV is such an improvement over my conventional CRT-TV I can’t even begin to tell you!

The picture quality is just outstanding for a screen this large (with connection to my new DISH TV VIP satellite TV DVR, which stores 350 hours of Standard Definition TV and 55 hours of HDTV recordings). The sound is OK, but this becomes irrelevant when connected to a home theater receiver and with quality speakers.

With 4 HDMI inputs, there is sufficient connection to auxilliary components including Blue Ray players which contain HDMI outputs if you wish to make direct connections to your TV. A better method is to connect all components to your upscaling home theater receiver with ONE HDMI output to your HDTV panel.

There are also many standard input/output connection solutions on this TV, and there is optical digital sound output which can be fed back into your home theater receiver or other devices.

I’m impressed with the ability to connect this TV to the internet for connection to widgets (weather, stocks, news, etc), but you have to be patient for things to happen since it’s not so INSTANT as PC response would be.

You can connect a flash drive to view your pictures and movies stored on them.

You can also connect this TV through USB connection to your own desktop computer or laptop computer to navigate to your picture and movie files there.

I’m very pleased with this TV overall and got a terrific deal from Amazon.com with a $300 discount. The TV was delivered by 2 guys in a van who brought the TV into my home, unboxed it and tested it for picture and sound with my cable connection. I found a beautiful 3-shelf black glass stand at Best Buy to place my new Samsung HDTV upon with all components on shelves below and it’s stunningly beautiful.

Thank you Amazon for the great deal and this beautiful TV!

4 Stars Samsung HD Plasma TV
Very happy with this HD Plasma TV. The picture quality and overall performance of this TV is excellent.

Initially had a problem applying an Amazon.com promotional discount of $325 on this item. After exchanging numerous emails with Amazon.com over several weeks, Amazon.com resolved my problem to my satisfation.

5 Stars Downgrade in size, upgrade in quality
I purchased this model Samsung plasma back in late June and have not regretted a single moment of it’s use since. I previously had a Mitsubishi 65″ wide screen rear projection and it was capable of 1080i. It was paired with a now 4yr old Onkyo 7.1 home theater in a box setup and my Sony Playstation 3. While 1080i looked really nice, I couldn’t take advantage of the PS3’s full 1080p/Blu-ray capability. So, after years of pining for 1080p, I finally laid out the cash for the Samsung PN58B650 and because it uses HDMI vs. the DVI connections my Onkyo receiver had, I paired the Samsung up with the Denon AVR790. O-M-G!! Blu-ray from my PS3 looks utterly amazing. The HD picture quality is absolutely crisp and clear. It literally looks like I could just reach in and grab the objects I see in HD. The Dolby HD and DTS HD-MA support from the Denon receiver just puts it over the top! Everything sounds awesome, especially the THX adverts on the DVD’s that support it. I reused the 7.1 surround speakers that came with the older Onkyo and the Denon simply breathed new life into them as they sound much better than before. I have the Samsung mounted on the wall and when I fire it up with either a 1080p supported PS3 game or a Blu-ray movie, I just begin to gush.

As for burn-in, every few weeks I run the built-in screen clean utility and I’m good to go. I have yet to hear any buzzing noise from any angle and dead center so I guess I lucked out.

5 Stars WOW Don’t walk, Run to buy this Plasma
I was a little worried ordering a TV of this size / cost online. Amazon came thru. Best price I found on line. $2175.00 deliverd. While I waited for the TV to arrive. I recived the latest consumer report. Read where this B650 was rated #1. My review is as follow’s. First I own at present time 7 LCD TV’s thru out my home. This was my first Plasma. When the TV arrived. I used a Break-in DVD for the first 250+ hours. Just placed the TV near a wall and left the break-in DVD run. When my new 65″ oak TV stand arrived I was ready. After my system was set up. I used a calibration DVD to set the colors etc. All I can say is, WoW. I am in HD heaven now. The black’s are the deapest I have ever seen on any TV period. The whites are pure white. This TV’s picture will take your breath away. The sound is not that bad using stand along. There is no sound from the power supply. What a well built, beautifull TV.

Delivered quicker than first stated through a specialized delivery company. Plugged in the TV to make sure everything was fine. The Samsung B650 Plasma is beautifully designed and the picture quality is outstanding. Has the Energy Star so saves on the juice.
