Samsung PN50B430

Introduction

The Samsung PN50B430 is an entry-level plasma. It’s a 720p display stretched over 50-inches of screen. While the PN50B430 lacks the feature set of a higher-end set, it remains a 50-inch TV for about $900. If you’re on a budget and looking for a big TV, the PN50B430 might be a good choice.
