Samsung PN50A450 FANTASTIC SET!

We bought the Samsung plasma to replace our 2 year old Samsung DLP which is going to our vacation home. We expected the picture to be a bit better but WOW. The delivery service was exceptional and the price competitive. After I placed the order, I found the same set in my area for $100 less. I would have cancelled the Amazon order but would have had to pay a re-stock fee. Oh, well, we love the set and had to make zero adjustments. The 720 is fine - we just wanted a crisper picture and that's what we have! For regular tv viewers as we are, this is about the best you can get.

Samsung PN50A450 First opinion

First Review,
Second evening of viewing, Just upgraded from a returned Samsung HP-T5054 which I had for 30 days. (got a great deal, clearance, closeout etc..) Amazing picture and many upgrades from previous model (HP-T5054). Same price as last years model and better overall. Nice finish and slicker features. Thanks to Samsung for offering a Great 720p panel that is sure to be the next big hit for them. Let everyone spend up for 1080, no visible difference to me. Love the swivel stand. Overall, I like it a lot. Really got my moneys worth @ 1,299.
