Samsung 5-series 50" HD Plasma TV (PS51D550)

Features:

The Samsung Plasma TV Series 5000 is perfect for those who desire the latest in TV technology but without the steep price tag. With this Series you can enjoy many of the cutting-edge features found in premium TVs such as Full HD 3D imaging.

True 3D experience in a whole new light

  • The Samsung Plasma 1 TVs have created an entirely new and immersive viewing experience when it comes to home entertainment. With the latest 3D imaging technology, you will be completely immersed in a new world of TV viewing reality.

The ultimate home-base of entertainment

  • Supreme connectivity lets you enjoy all your digital content and interactions in one place. AllShare connects your TV wirelessly to all your compatible digital devices, unlocking the music, movies and photos stored there.
  • AllShare PC software is also available for download and ensures that your PC content can be searched, streamed and played back.
  • High Definition Multimedia Interface inputs allow you to directly connect up to four devices, providing you with much more to watch and share.
  • ConnectShare Movie lets you plug a separate drive directly into your TV so you can stream movies straight to its screen. BD Wise technology keeps your TV and connected Samsung Blu-ray player in constant communication for optimised performance.

3D Converter

  • See more in 3D. Built into your Samsung smart TV, dedicated technology converts 2D movies and shows into 3D, making even familiar content more thrillingly immersive than ever before.

Clear Image Panel

  • Delivering the best picture possible is job one at Samsung. The Samsung’s new TV line up uses a new filter & panel structure to eliminate layered images and produce clear images from almost every angle. This also eliminates the production of dual images and any form of blurring typically found with glass filters.

Real Black Filter

  • Refine your viewing with precision contrast. An innovative real black filter suppresses the amount of external light that reflects off the screen so that, even in bright viewing conditions images are clean, crisp and distraction-free.

Anynet

  • Concentrate your control. Anynet technology enables you to direct all of your HDMICEC-compatible digital devices – whatever their manufacturer – with a single remote control, for a streamlined home-entertainment experience.

Wide Colour Enhancer Plus

  • See the world’s true colours. Samsung’s Wide Colour Enhancer Plus uses an advanced algorithm to drastically improve image quality – even displaying subtle tones and details that less advanced TVs cannot reproduce.

Connect Share Movie

  • Tap your digital devices. ConnectShare™ Movie transforms your TV into a home entertainment theatre - simply plug in your USB memory drive or connect your hard disk drive to screen the movies, photos and music stored there.

Digital Noise Filter

  • Watch crystal-clear analog programming as if it was being broadcasted digitally with Samsung’s Digital Noise Filter. The filter helps to eliminate some of the digital “noise” that are seen on your screen.

Cinema smooth

  • Watch movies with sharp contrast, crisp picture quality and now with lower energy bills. Cinema Smooth technology automatically controls the letterbox lighting by turning off the lights at the top/bottom for an immersive experience.

Allshare

  • Bring it all together. AllShare wirelessly connects to compatible mobile devices through DLNA technology so the movies, photos and music stored on them can be viewed, listened to and shared on your smart TV.

Full HD 1080p

  • Get closer to reality. Samsung’s full HD Plasma TVs boast twice the resolution of standard HD TVs, for richly textured, naturalistic pictures that captivate your mind and elevate your viewing experience.

HDMI 1.4

  • Multiply your media. Four High Definition Multimedia Interface™ (HDMI®) inputs allow you to speed high-definition digital data from several devices straight to your smart TV, giving you more content to enjoy on screen.

I brought this TV when it was on offer - even at the normal Pixmania price it was cheaper than anywhere else. It is a fantastic TV with great image quality especially when watching Blu-ray films. The normal TV reception is amazingly clear (had some concerns that it would be grainy but the case). Read more ...
PROSGreat TV at a great price with swift delivery service
CONSPicture was slightly dull but when I changed settings from standard to dynamic the picture was perfect

Amazing TV, shame about the gimmicky Smart Hub
I chose a plasma TV with some trepidation having found it extremely difficult to find any objective basis for comparison of the many different models (and several different technologies) on offer. I'm pleased to say I am not in the slightest bit disappointed with this choice. Read more ...

Samsung PS-51D550 51" Plasma TV...
Awesome, all this media hub goodness — although it probably adds a couple score bucks to the price, and if you’re paying this kinda dosh for a TV, you probably have an AV receiver/media centre that does this, so hello needless duplication. Read more ...
PROSImage processing engine does a great job of making any content look good Flexible input and output options
CONSSome of the features are a bit redundant at this end of the market The glass is pretty glossy, so reflections can be a problem, and not the deepest blacks in the world WiFi dongle not included
