This is more a review of Amazon’s sales of “special handling items” rather than the TV.
I ordered the Samsung on a Tuesday. At that time, the item’s page indicated that if I ordered within the next few hours, I could have it by Friday. I placed the order and while reviewing the order’s details afterwards, the bold manner in which Amazon said I could have the TV at my door on the item’s page had markedly turned into a disappointing “estimated delivery” by Friday. I think this is a dishonest business practice. This was reinforced when I called Amazon customer service and the person told me he had never heard of Amazon delivering a special handling item that fast. Amazon is obviously hooking you into a situation where they know they can’t deliver when they promise and they will hope you just grin and bear it because you want the TV so bad. Anyway Friday and Monday came and went – no delivery. In the meantime, all this time without the TV in front of me gave me more time to second guess my purchase. I double checked the reviews all over the internet and became very concerned of all the buzzing complaints. I then cancelled the order before it even got to my door which would have been Tuesday. To fix this, all Amazon should do is not have those delivery promises on an item’s page that requires special handling.
Ok, now for the good – because they missed the delivery date, I had no issues with getting a full refund. As for the TV, I ended up purchasing a Panasonic (s50) 50-inch plasma from my local Sears for $889.00. Probably not as good as picture as the Samsung, but good enough for my average TV viewing eyes and not even a hint of buzzing.

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.

This is my first big screen and I love it. The picture is sharp and has good colors. The user interface is very intuitive. Just make sure you get a sound system, because the speakers are typical for a TV.

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, preferably a plasma, 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.
Update: The picture quality is truly superb, and now that I’ve had it for 4 months, I’m loving it all the more. I have seen some 120 hz LCDs that are in a constant state of blur, and this has none of that. Buy a plasma — so much better than the LCDs. The controls are easy to use, the sound system is mediocre at best. I calibrated the TV but this didn’t change the picture quality all that much [...]. They indicate that you need at least 200 hours of burn-in before you can truly calibrate. Turn the TV on and it works pretty 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.
