 Superb quality and amazing value!Aug 06, 2010
By E. Adams
"Loves MLS Soccer"
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R14LRZAXTZENR0 I decided on this TV because of the terrific price of it offered by Amazon (compared to Crutchfield an Vanns).
The first delivery was a disaster because the panel was cracked in several places. My other 50in 2010 Samsung had the same issue with the first delivery. So be warned that Samsung is not packing these sets well given their thinness. Another bummer was the set is made in Mexico and not Japan or Korea.
However that has been it. The picture quality is superb in 2D with all sources. Even SD looks good. The speakers are not great on the set but are serviceable.
This TV loves HD sources! You will be amazed. There are four HDMI inputs.
TV is very thin with a dark grey bezel (not the 8000 titanium).
I have not tried 3D yet. Waiting for glasses to lower in price and to get a 3D Blu Ray player.
All plasmas buzz to some degree and volume level. My set buzzes when a show is paused (DVR), but can't be heard otherwise. Some buzz so loud others return is (common plasma problem) - it is a crap shoot.
Important notes:
- make sure to update the sets firmware to the latest version (1025+), this will improve the 2D and 3D.
- break in the set by running a variable signal for 25-50 hours (constantly moving images - no ESPN) this will help reduce Burn in problems
- consider updating the set to C8000 model via the service menu, you will get all the 8000 features for free (like Cinema Smooth)

Great TV but has issues.Jul 10, 2010
By vin
This tv is by far an awesome tv. i have had it for 3 weeks and am blown away by the video quality. all the apps and everything are awesome. the quality is almost too real for anyone to get used to but no complains there. One thing you definitely do notice the first time you watch any hd content is some kinda juddering in the images. it is distracting. i contacted the support center several times and they had me try different settings on the tv, none of which solved the issue. at this point a service technician is coming out to check and tv and see what he can find defective. if he can't solve the issue i might think of sending the tv back. sad but i dont want to just put up with some issues after paying a heavy price tag. please be aware of this issue. i dont think samsung themselves are aware of this issue and no how to fix it. if they are able to fix it i will post an update to this reivew. try to hold off on buying for now.

3 months of use... and the verdictSep 24, 2010
By Lorraen Badillo
I bought this TV for my husband as a father's day gift. So it was purchased about 3 months ago. Here is my full impression.
Picture
At the store:
When I was walking around in the store I saw this TV with Avatar going on it and right next to it was the equivalent non-3D Samsung in addition to all the other TVs. There is a huge difference in picture. The best way I could describe it is, it looks like a very high def documentary. What the sales guy said about that crisp effect is that since the TV is built to do so much heavy work for 3D, the 2D benefits in it's picture as well.
I did NOT buy this TV to watch anything in 3D, I do not even own the glasses because they give me headaches. The picture quality in 2D is simply that good. The only times I've had issues with how anything looks on the TV it has always been from the source. Low quality TV show output. Blue Ray looks incredible.
At home:
At first it took a LOT of getting used to, it's SO detailed and sharp that it really does kinda feel very odd watching this TV. We watched movies we had seen many times before and found ourselves seeing things we never noticed. So there's an adjustment period.
3 months later:
The TV feels natural to watch now. The odd thing is watching any non 3D TV feels like trying to watch TV with early stages cataracts. The biggest overall difference I've noticed and enjoyed is that the content you're watching is very immersive. It's all fleshed out to a dimension I did not expect from TV. I did notice after some time that the blacks in the TV are somehow a LOT darker than the screen when the TV is turned off. A lot of people think this is somehow important so I thought I'd include that.
Technically speaking, I cant find anything to complain about. It's HEAVY!!! There, I complained.
Things to know before you buy!!!
This TV.. is HUGE. Have someplace to put it before hand. We are having a heck of a time trying to find a decent TV console for under 1k to put this on. So if you don't already own a very large TV stand or furniture that can accommodate it, look for something ahead of time.
This TV is HEAVY. My hubby is 6'6" and we are both in decent shape and moving this thing is a task not taken lightly. Make sure you got someone to help move it.
This TV is EXPENSIVE. There are a lot of TV's out there for very cheap that will likely suit most people's needs. We put off buying an upgrade TV for 10 years (drooling over our friend's flat screens and working out bums off to save up for one).
For us, I wanted to reward that patience and fiscal responsibility with the biggest TV I could get my hands on that had the best picture I could find and this was it. I have zero buyer's remorse but I did think to myself after a while, if we had not been saving up to splurge after much sacrifice... would I still have bought this?
The answer was HELL YES!
Funny anecdote. Hubby tried playing The Force Unleashed for an hour and got motion sickness and threw up LOL. It's that immersive!! So don't play video games on it till you have gotten used to it.

HackableJul 25, 2010
By frankebaby
This is a great set for the money. It can easily be turned into the 8000 series with a simple service menu hack. All you need to do is enter a few buttons in your remote to achieve this. The 3D is great, and I don't imagine how it could be any better on the Sony or Panasonic. 2D->3D conversion is excellent both with gaming and movies. Do some research and get the proper settings to get the most out of this set. Speakers are fair, but what do you expect from a thin TV?

 HDMI Inputs produce RED screen. Discoloration Problem.Aug 04, 2010
By AmazonShopper_MY
Using the HDMI input from the Blue Ray player started to produce Red screen after a couple of days of usage.
First I thought the the Red screen is produced by the Blue ray player but later I verified the problem is not because of the Blue ray player, it is because of the bad HDMI input circuitry of the TV. I verified that the Samsung PN63C7000 TV is producing the Red colors anytime I switch to HDMI inputs (It has 4 HDMI inputs, all producing same red screen). I was suspecting the 10-foot "high speed HDMI cable" from monoprice causing the discoloration problem. I connected the same cable to the HDMI inputs of my other LED TV and the screen was good. I used 4 ft "high speed HDMI cable" on both TVs, Samsung PN63C7000 TV produced red colors, the other older LED TV produced the normal colors. When I used my Denon receiver to output signals via the HDMI cable to the any one of 4 HDMI inputs of the TV, I get red screen.
When the TV is in TV mode or Internet@TV mode (Such as netflix, local network, etc.), it displays the channels correctly without any discoloration. I am not sure what caused the TV to go bad in the first couple of days of usage. It may be result of Blue Ray player overheating excessively and producing out of tolerance signals to the HDMI inputs of the TV thus causing the sensitive TV input circuitry to fail.
My PN63C7000 TV suffers from the same Motion Judder issue.
I did not notice any buzzing from my TV that some other owners are complaining about.
See my review for a Samsung Blue ray player overheating problem here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003QP41FG/ref=oss_product
8/10/2010 Update: I updated the firmware from 1022 to 1026 using flash memory. Red screen on HDMI video sources diminished a lot but there are still red artifacts rendering the video unacceptable to watch.
