Not all 3DTVs are created equal, and Samsung's E550 is a good example of a superior 3D viewing experience. The E550 utilizes Active 3D shutter glasses technology to display stunningly sharp Full HD 1080p resolution in 3D, and as a Smart TV it gives you access to virtually unlimited entertainment possibilities from online sources.

More About This Model

The only way to enjoy super-sharp Full HD 1080p in 3D is to use Active 3D shutter glasses technology. The E550 uses this technology (with two glasses included), which is why its 3D picture provides more than two times the detail of a non-Full HD TV panel in 3D. The result is incredibly realistic picture that seems to jump off the screen and fully immerse you in the action.

The E550 is Wi-Fi ready - plug in a wireless LAN adapter and you can connect to an almost unlimited selection of online entertainment options, all through the easy-to-use Smart Hub interface. Movies, TV shows, sports, music, Facebook, Twitter, and full-fledged web browsing are all available at your fingertips, displayed on the gorgeous screen. If you pick up a compatible Skype camera (sold separately) you can even make Skype video calls. Browse through the industry's first TV app store and personalize your online experience with apps that display news headlines, show weather forecasts, play games, and much more.

Samsung Social TV lets you stay connected with friends and family, while making sure you don't miss out on your favourite shows. It creates a split-screen experience that displays social apps like Facebook and Twitter on one side while showing live TV on the other.

Plasma technology's greatest advantage is low light environment picture performance. Samsung's Real Black Filter is a treatment applied to the screen surface to provide even better picture performance in low light environments than conventional plasma TVs.

Very impressive blacks and colors

Just set this TV up yesterday and I am very impressed with the colors and blacks. I watched a 3D IMAX show on it and quite frankly it knocked my socks off. My older Samsung Plasma used to have a bit of temporary ghosting. If I was watching CNN for a while and switched channels I would see the CNN logo for a minute before it faded away. Not with this TV - no ghosting at all.

Can't beat a Samsung TV

This is my fourth Samsung TV. I have Samsung 58", 50" Plasma and 46" LED. All my previous Samsung TV's have been great. It was an easy decision to purchase a fourth Samsung. I went with Plasma for the better picture quality and overall price and performance. Three of my TVs are hooked up to the Internet for Netflix. There are other apps with the TV but all are really useless. Surfing the web on your TV is also useless given that your laptop or tablet is a better option. The TV has a great picture and is very easy to set up and use. There is no buzzing and the picture glare is a reality during the day or if a bright light is on. All my TVs even the LED will reflect some light. When it is really sunny outside - well I'd rather be outside than watching TV anyway. The glare is manageable and not really a big deal. My Plasma TV by far have the best picture quality vs the LED.

Samsung PN51E550

I just got a new PN51E550 FS. It has so many features for the price. It replaced an old Panasonic 1080p now moved to the basement. This is my first 3d TV. After 2 weeks, my only negative is the reflection on the screen which I fix by closing the window blinds. I like: Good price for the many features and performance Good Picture quality including black levels Wireless built-in (can access a hard drive attached to the Cisco Router) Bluetooth (using my RIM playbook keyboard with track pad) Blu-ray 3d is fantastic (using Sony PS3) OTA TV Tuner is very clear in HD. Cable HD is very good too. Size (my fist TV over 50") Smart TV and apps good remote and menu system 3d glasses included displays 3d photo's from my digital camera USB ports play TV shows recorded on a jump drive TV's software updates are easy to install.

Great tv

After spending a good bit of time researching tv options I decided to go with this plasma and do not regret it. Smooth motion with a natural picture and colors blows the LED tvs away and the price was great. 3d movies are good and the sound is good if you don't have a sound system. I don't have HD tv yet but standard def if quite good for now.

Great TV

love the TV. couldn't stand the LED or LCD's as I have a Panasonic plasma and prefer plasma picture quality. We decided to go for this TV as opposed to the Panasonic because a pair of 3d glasses was included. The TV (in the showroom) looked better than the Panny to me and my wife's eyes. 2d picture is great, 3d is wonderful, media player works really well, love the 3 HDMI inputs. We are very happy with the TV, it makes a nice addition to our bedroom.
