Samsung PN59D8000 59-Inch 1080p 600Hz 3D Plasma HDTV
I bought this to exchange a 65″ Vizio LCD-LED Cinema 3d tv I returned (spider, corner flash lighting effects, etc.) and I couldnt be happier. I did so a LOT of research prior to purchasing (as I do with the Vizio) and after experiencing the PN59D8000 passive 3 dimensional (aka Cinema) on the Vizio I was pleasantly suprized with all the Active 3d – It’s overall a greater quality experience. Having said that 2d was my own main focus for that televisions performance this also tv did not i want to down. Blu-rays and Playstation 3 slim games look amazing! Couldn’t be more happy with the purchase along with one exception…as much have pointed out there’s a subtle “buzzing” noise (standard for plasmas) which reaches just audible at minimal or muted quantities – I can barely hear it and could be fixed if transferred away from the wall. Can not really comment on the tv screen speakers as I work with a Onkyo HT-S9400THX 7.1 method for all things sound. FYI if you are looking to get a superior surround system but don’t have the period or knowledge to piece one together I recommend the Onkyo HT-S9400THX 6.1 – a little pricier than the popular HTIB systems (I possessed a panasonic) but the beat for the buck can be unmatched. Playing Battleground 3 (PS3) about this setup is a fantasy – nearby explosions may have your heart-racing.
