 Don't get screwed by Samsung like I did. |

| BEWARE! I am WARNING you now. Don't buy this TV or in my book, any tv from Samsung. I was really excited when I got this TV since it was my first big flat screen I'd ever owned. For the first two years it was okay. It had some screen retention on any visuals that would linger on the screen for around 5 or 10 minutes but slowly would go away in a minute or so. However, my big problem was about 2 years after I purchased the TV. One day I came home and noticed that none of the HDMI inputs were working and neither were the component hookups. The only thing that would work was the Coaxial cable input. Called Samsung, only first year is warrantied so I'm screwed. PAID $1000 for a TV that delivered for less than 2 years. Don't be like me. Get an extended warranty or buy another brand!!! |
Legacy 3D HDTV that will support Full Blu-ray 3D!!

| Hey, here's a great 3D-HDTV. The PN50A450 (and PN50B450) are fantastic deals. Yes, they are 720p, but the picture's great and the human eye can hardly see the difference between 720p and 1080p! Also, they are 3D-Ready HDTVs (Checkerboard format). Now, it's been said that these televisions can't play the new full hd blu-ray-3d disc, but that's not true. I watch the new Blu-ray 3D discs via my pc (you need a strong graphics card that supports 3D) in the "Checkerboard format" through "Cyberlink's PowerDVD 10 Ultra 3D software" ($99). I use the 3d-emitter and battery powered shutter glasses ($60 each) that I bought from "Tridef" (DDD) when I bought their 3D Experience software (Non-3D) to watch the old fashion Field Sequential-3D dvds back in 2009. It's true that a new stand-alone-3D blu ray player won't work with these hdtvs, but I've watched the new full Blu-ray 3d disc "Cloudly with a Chance of Meatballs" via my computer with Cyberlink's Blu-ray 3d software (which will play in checkerboard) and the 3d was great with no visable ghosting! |

Two Years Later...

I have had this tv for about 2 years now. At first, I liked it. When my dad would come over though, he would complain that it didn't look like HD...but that never bothered me enough to figure it out.
What does bother me, however, is that now there is a picture that is burnt onto the screen. I must have had the tv/cable on pause for a few minutes. It was on one of those news shows that have the red toolbar looking thing on the bottom of the screen (Nancy Grace, I think). Well now, no matter what channel or what dvd I have on, you can see the red toolbar from the news show on the lower 1/3 of the screen. You dont see the actual toolbar, but the picture in that area gets discolored and looks red. I am very disappointed.
I guess this tv is ok if it goes in the bedroom or kids room. I would not recommend putting it in the living room where guests watch tv. |
Dead Pixles after one year
|

| Reviewer: Mark C. Bradford, California |
| After a year TV pixles die and not covered by manuf DO NOT buy insurance through CPS Central because you get ripped off. Once it is determined the TV is bad CPS Central makes you ship the TV back before a replacement is shipped and the cost of shipping is extremely high and you loose on ther replacement value. |
