"Samsung turning into a plasma powerhouse"
Pros: PQ, IR protection, vibrant colors, Blu-Ray or PS3
Cons: SD is good, but not great.
Summary: I have only owned the 5084 for about three weeks, but I don't regret it one bit. The Blu-Ray PQ is outstanding and really shows what this set was designed to do. Just stunning. The HD channels on DirecTV are sharp and the colors vibrant. I do suggest you take the time to calibrate this TV to your preference. It really makes a difference.
I like the "burn-in" protection on this TV and I play alot of PS3 games so this was important to me. I have had no problems with this at all.
I have read about the previous models (5054/64) having problems with judder during scrolling tickers(CNN, ESPN, etc), but I believe Samsung has fixed this problem on the 5084. I have seen no evidence of this. As far as cons, I guess I think the SD channels could be better. Some of the channels are better than others, however, it does look better than on an LCD. Sometimes I'll be watching a show in SD and it looks terrible and then it goes to commercial and they look awesome. It very well could be the feed. Anyway, I think it's a minor issue since this PDP is for HD and Blu-Ray. Don't hesitate on this one...Blows Panasonic out of the water and can keep up with the Pioneer models.

I have no idea what anyone out there is talking about. This so called ticker issue with the 64 series is non existant. My brother and I both have the 4264 and my cousin bought the 5064. Neither TV has any issue with jitter, jatter or any other issue with tickers. The TV is FLAWLESS!! So I don't know how this crazy rumour started but let's put it to rest.

I have had this set for about 2 weeks and i is fantastic. I have not had the chance to watch a blue ray or HD movie on it yet but I cant wait. It simply rocks. I got it wall mounted and it looks even better now :P
