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.
