I ordered this TV, twice in 2 weeks. The first one only worked for the first time I turned it on, then died. I could only hear sound, no video, no on-screen menu. Talked to Samsung tech support, they admited that is a defect. Then I got a replacement unit from Amazon. It had the same problem as the previous one on arrival: only audio, no video, no on-screen menu.
I will never buy anything that is made by Samsung again.

The internet tech and review sites are full of hundreds/thousands of unsatisfied customers that have had problems with both hdmi ports failing (causing vertical green lines to appear on the TV screen), and power boards that have faulty capacity resistors that conveniently fail 14 months to 24 months after puchase (after the 1 year warranty is up).
I have a tv that has had two hdmi ports and power board fail 16 months after purchase.
The power board failure is the worst because it causes the tv to not even turn on. Unfortunately Samsung is choosing to use cheap/old resistors that the manufacturer said to stop using back in 1999 (this is about a $2.50 savings per tv for Samsung) – serious mis-calculation by their engineering design team or supply chain purchasing.
The board and tech service will cost you $450 to repair.
I’m never buying Samsung ever again.

There’s no doubt that this is a great TV. How great? Well, given that I don’t have any other HDTV’s, who knows? From what I’ve read, all you need to do is buy an HDTV and not pay too much attention to all of the details about the TV. This one was pretty cheap for a 50″ TV, so it worked out well.

I recently purchased this tv and i am very happy with the quality and picture.
Shopped around and amazon has the best deal on this tv shipped.
I originally bought a PN50B450 @ a local B&M store. after seeing the price on this i went and returned the tv and ordered this.

The delivery from Amazon was done very smoothly. Product arrived on time. Delivery guys brought it in and set it up. Caution: they will NOT move your old TV.
The Samsung PN50B650:
- Video quality is excellent- Dark blacks, accurate color representation.
- Glare: Is there. Much more than an LCD. Noticable mainly if there is a single bright source. Not a reason to select the product but be aware that it will be there. The PN50B850 touts a better glare filter. These are hard to see in stores where the whole place is dark.
- Audio: After my old-faithful Sony XBR Wega CRT TV, the audio quality, particularly the bass is a dissapointment. The speakers point down/back so the highs are somewhat muffled. Deep bass- not there. The PN50B850/860 claims to have a sub-woofer- was not able to hear the difference in a store but may be a better choice. Clearly, a home theater audio system is needed.
- PIP: Useless- only can show the antenna input on the PIP. For anyone with Cable, cannot use the PIP. If you want real PIP, look for the higher priced models.
- Internet connection: Did not use the LAN yet. The Wi-Fi adapter only goes into the USB port, which is on the side of the unit. Will look really ugly!
- Menus: Clear, easy to use. Only annoying issue is, even if you do not have any devices connected to certain inputs, they still show up in the selections. I have the Cable and PS3 connected so only really need to switch between them. The menu shows several other connections and rotates between them. There should be a way to just show the active connections in the selection menu.
Overall, for the price (paid $1150 including shipping) a great value…
