New Plasma tv

[LingLing]

That Samsung is the exact TV I bought a few months ago. The picture is amazing and internal speakers aren't half bad either. I have been nothing but impressed with picture clarity and overall build quality. Plus the stand swivels ~30*. Definitely worth the $750 (I paid just over $1,000 for mine no more than two months ago).

Yes. Black Friday is the day after and Cyber Monday is a few days following.

Plasmas are amazing picture quality and speed, nothing will touch it. As far as the burn in goes this is a problem if you will be doing things like playing video games and/or watching certain tv channels that have bars or menus on them that don't move. If it gets left in one spot too long it will burn in for quite awhile, but if you follow the instruction on the break in of 100 hours or so it does get way better.
Also with the Samsung (not sure of others) it has anti-burn protection screen that you let run if you notice some burn in (not to be confused with Ghosting)its just a scrolling screen that goes from the whitest white to the blackest black and will erase the images.
I bought a Samsung 58" last year at Best Buy for like $1600 I think, so they are so much cheaper than LCD and LED LCD because people are stupid and talk shit about things that they have no idea about, such as why you shouldn't buy a Plasma TV and how they dont last. Well if you spend a few hours doing searches on home theater websites you will see that a typical plasma will last every bit as long as a LCD, they say 100k hours of use is the norm. By my calculations of averaging 6 hours a day 7 days a week= 45.78 years of use. So you may want to consider buying a new tv in about 40 years or so because the technology may be outdated..
Hope this helps.

I run the anti-burn option once a week since I do a lot of gaming. So far I haven't noticed any burn-in. I went with the plasma because I do a lot of gaming and I couldn't stand playing on my friends' LCD because it was so blurry when you were moving around.

My roommate has a Samsung Plasma also. I left my computer plugged into it over night on accident once, and my desktop image was burnt into the TV for about a week.

Ive had my 50" HP plasma since 07 and love it. Get an extended warranty for it like I did and it will be fine. 4 year warranty at best buy was like 80 bucks.

All major brands are great these days but I do love samsung as well.

Dont buy a used TV Tom... get something new closer to xmas, when all the deals come out.

^Same as you pretty much but no warranty. I got my samsung plasma thru a commercial vendor and I have a commercial version that is supposedly designed to resist burn in.

Either way no issues here.
