We had to replace a 61" DLP which had produced a very good picture but developed `issues'. True, some of the LEDs produce a crisp picture but at 2.5 times the price of a large plasma I could not justify the expense. The Panasonics certainly produce a great picture but are bulky and heavy. I also waffled on the Samsung 63" 7000 or 8000. These are elegant sets and their slim width is especially appealing but I don't think I'd really use 3D (for an extra $700). Perhaps for the next set, in a few years, sans special glasses. After what seemed like endless research and numerous visits to the local electronics stores to compare, I made the jump. I think what ultimately made the decision was Consumer Reports rating it #1, over even the 7000. Well, technically, the winner was the 550, the same TV as the 590 with a couple less features.The TV was purchased through Amazon from One Call. Some of those reviews (not just on Samsung) had prepared me for the worst: screens cracked during shipping, plasma buzz, and plain duds. And to be once-removed from Amazon added some angst to the process. I am pleased to report that none of my worries were justified. I received my purchase of the Samsung PN63C590 two weeks ago, on time, in one piece, no buzz, no dud.While not an expert I can certainly appreciate a gorgeous picture when I see it. Out of the box the color was quite good but I tweaked the settings with calibrations easily found on CNet. As the set has `aged' the picture became even better. SD looks about as good as it can, DVDs are very good, streaming Netflix good to very good with HD, over-the-air broadcast excellent, and of course, BluRay terrific. The sound is not bad, becomes great hooked to even a relatively low-end Samsung home theatre system. [It plays nice with the home theatre system as well].This is my first plasma and as the owner of several, smaller, misc. LCD sets, I was most concerned about screen glare. The LCDs handle bright ambient light well. The new plasma is in a living room that is fairly bright during daylight. Again, that fear proved unfounded; the set compensates for glare. The big advantage of the plasma I would say is a far more realistic picture (even given the orange-tinged excesses of things like CSI Miami). Motion blur is not an issue; loved the passing of Aaron Rodgers.While I would not normally write a review I know the tendency is for dissatisfied people to express themselves while satisfied ones are not as motivated. Anyway, I don't think you'd go wrong.

My wife and I had a 62" DLP TV for years. It was a nice 1080i HD set but we hated replacing the bulb every 18 months or so and every time we did, we ran into problems (wrong bulb, housing broke, etc.) It was time for a new TV.We went to our local electronics store and started looking at all the TV types (LCD, Plasma, DLP, LED). We really didn't want to go with DLP again and LED TVs are just ridiculously priced so it came down to LCD and Plasma. They had 1 of each sitting side by side for comparison. The plasma and LCD both looked nice, but the color on the Samsung plasma sold us. I did some research first and found that both LCD and Plasma TVs are rated at 100,000 hours. I had heard some bad things about plasma TVs but all those things were restricted to the first generation plasmas. The new ones last longer, don't burn images in the screen as fast, and don't fade over time. You get the best picture as long as the TV lasts.So we bought the Samsung C590 63" Plasma. We didn't really want 3D for the extra price so we chose this one. Here are some key features.Sound: While nothing really beats a sound system, the speakers are not bad at all. I have it hooked up through a surround sound but when we play the Wii, we have to use the TV speakers and they are very decent.Picture: We have it hooked up to DirecTV HD. The picture is amazing. Watch a cooking show and see how vibrant the colors are on the fruits. We hooked up a blu-ray player and watched a few blu-ray movies. I had heard that going from 1080i to 1080p most people won't notice a difference unless your TV is bigger than 50". Well I can tell you that I definitely noticed a difference and the picture is absolutely amazing. I love watching blu-ray movies on this TV.Installation: We bought a fairly tall stand to put this on. My wife struggled a little bit but the 2 of us were able to lift the TV onto the stand without any problems. ****NOTE**** make sure you keep the TV upright during transportation and never lay it down. The warranty is void if you do and the picture may be compromised. Plasma TVs are not designed to be laid down for any reason unless they are being serviced by a technician.Setup: The easiest part. We hooked up 1 HDMI cable from our sound system that had everything else running through it. The TV detected the active HDMI port and the sound system so it automatically turned to that input. When you turn up the volume on a connected surround sound system, the TV indicates external speakers. The TV turns on quickly and plays a little jingle. It doesn't take forever to warm up like our DLP did.Quality: While I haven't had the TV long, we did purchase a 5-year warranty since it was our first plasma. Everything seems great so I'll update the review if I see any problems down the road.If you are looking for a Plasma, the Samsung is the best way to go with their color perfect technology.Update 6/06/2011:We had to have our TV serviced since it started developing some vertical burn marks on each side of the screen where a letterbox image would end. The technician told me that plasma TVs require a full screen image at all times. We had to change our Directv settings so non-HD channels would play at full screen. I asked him about the movies that have the black bar at the top and bottom on wide screen movies. He said that it would take years of continuous viewing for problems to arrise. He chalked up our problem to a faulty panel and he came back a week later to replace the entire panel. Luckily we had the full warranty. Make sure the picture is full screen if you can get it. If you have to go to letterbox, then make sure you don't have grey bars on the side.
