Looking for 55" for $750

[Jeff R.]

I am finally replacing my old 60" rear projection Hitachi...looking for a 55" for my HT. So it will be primarily movies or live concert DVDs that will be played on it. I don't think I need all the fancy bells and whistles on it just the best picture for the money. Any suggestions..... Thanks

Jeff

Best buy had this on sale recently Samsung PN60F5300 check your local store. no 55 inch version though. I have the 51 and it's a great TV. Concerts look great too.

How does the plasma do with light reflecting off the glass screen? My wife is concerned it could be a problem long term...current situation is not an issue but we might move in a few years....

Bought a floor model of this from BB. $550. No remote or base but shouldn't be an issue. I pick it up tomorrow.

Super glad it worked out. Enjoy it and post some pics when it's mounted.

I have the Sammy 60" 5300 and I love it. It does have reflection so a light controlled room is best. The pic out of the box isn't very good so some other owners have done some calibrating on this set and came up with some great settings that made a huge difference in the pic. Really they made a night and day difference on my set. Here are the settings and the thread on this set. http://www.avsforum.com/forum/167-plasma-flat-panel-displays/1476482-samsung-pn60f5300-calibration-settings-26.html#post27866097
