Tour & Design
Introduction
The Samsung PN50A760 is a 50-inch plasma television with a high-end feature set. Although plagued by many of the issues that challenge plasma televisions like high power consumption and a low maximum brightness the Samsung PN50A760 offers a certain amount of style, solid performance in many of our test and extras like internet connectivity. At $2000 the price isn’t totally unreasonable.

Samsung UN32D5500 LED LCD HDTV Review
The D5500 has a rather high MSRP of $699, considering it’s only a 32-inch TV. There are some “premiums upgrades,” a term we use with some dubiousness, knowing that these features can be far less valuable than they appear. Nevertheless, at its core this is a good television. If you can find it a significantly reduced price it would make a great addition to a home theater. Read More...
