Review By reviews.cnet

Samsung makes so many different varieties of flat-panel HDTVs, sometimes it’s difficult to keep up. This particular plasma, the 50-inch PN50A650, was released in the spring of 2008 right around the same time as the slightly less expensive PN50A550, which we reviewed way back then. We really like both of these displays, and both exhibit the same fundamentals: good but not great black levels and highly accurate color. The more expensive version adds more color of its own, in the form of the company’s trademark reddish-tinted frame, and if you appreciate the styling, the PN50A650 proves a worthy entrant in the tight 50-inch plasma race.

The Samsung PN50A650 performed excellently with HD content. Though this plasma is not nearly as bright, the HD picture images in The Fifth Element demonstrated great depth and 3-dimensionality. This created more definition in the Samsung picture quality compared to the Panasonic. The post calibration picture is warm and very realistic. Flesh tones were as good as I have seen. One slight negative is that the screen does exhibit some light glare from room conditions. Notice also that the Samsung plasma’s contrast setting noted above in calibrations section is 96, which is almost at peak. The Samsung plasma has a decidedly darker but finer picture.

The PN50A650’s dual tuners pull in both analog and digital over-the-air broadcasts (antenna required), so adding this TV to your system means you won’t need to worry about the coming analog signal shutoff in 2009. And if you’re a cable TV subscriber, you can use this set’s "QAM" tuner to view unscrambled digital cable channels — including local network HD channels in many areas.

This 6-series plasma features the company’s "Touch of Color" bezel that adds a subtle hint of translucent reddish amber to the set’s 2.5-inch-wide gloss-finished bezel. The TV’s glossy black base stand provides about 25 degrees of swivel on both the right and left (50 degrees of total travel). Like the on-display controls of the Samsung LN52A750 LCD, this TV’s touch-sensitive buttons, while located on the lower-right face of the bezel and easy to access, are also a magnet for fingerprints. Resting upon its base stand, the PN50A650 measures 32.8 by 48.8 by 12.6 inches (HWD) and weighs 95.5 pounds. Without its base, the TV’s height and depth are 30.1 and 3.8 inches, respectively.

Three High Definition Multimedia Interface™ (HDMI) connections make your TV a multimedia centerpiece. Connect HD digital devices like disc players, game consoles and satellite dish components into the 3 rear connections and use the side-mounted input for cameras, camcorders and laptops. HDMI is the best performing interface for displaying an HD source on an HDTV.
