CNET Editors' Take

CNET did not review the Samsung PN58A550, but we did review the smaller model in the series.

Review:

Although CNET did not review the 58-inch Samsung PN58A550, we did review the 50-inch Samsung PN50A550. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Samsung plasma HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size, so we expect the picture quality of the 50-inch model to provide a good indication of how the 58-incher will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Samsung PN50A550.

"Great 58in. HDTV for the money!" By BMWguy206

Pros 1080P, great picture quality, great black levels, great price for value, hardly any buzz, decent glare filtering.

Cons Screen does give off some heat.

Summary I had my eyes set on the Pioneer 6010 or the 6020 but never pulled the trigger because it was over $4200.00. Then came the Samsung PN58A550. Had some good features and was very affordable. So much affordable that I ended up buying it from Amazon and had so ... Expand full review
