Simply, this Series 8 1080p beauty is overflowing with features, like Internet widgets, a Content Flash Library, streaming media partners, two USB ports for accessing photo, music and video files, DNLA connectivity to your home network and even Picture-in-Picture that many of you traditionalists would never use, especially if you don’t plan on hooking your TV into your home network. The picture quality of the PN50B860 reaffirms the golden reputation that plasmas have earned over the years. If you are worried that the TV is too complicated to operate, the designers have done an admirable job of stowing away all the bells and whistles so that you will never encounter them if you just want to sit back and enjoy the FIFA world Cup. Please note that for all of its state of the art components, the PN50B860 is not 3D capable.

The default picture modes are consistently good, making setup easy. Samsung provides on-screen guides for organizing your Internet widgets. For such a feature-rich TV, its operation is remarkably straightforward. This 50″ plasma measures only 1.2 inches (30mm) deep and weighs only 57.5 pounds without the stand. The brushed stainless steel surface stand adds another 14 pounds, but it allows you to swivel the TV left or right at about 30 degrees.

In addition to the widgets, Samsung has built into the TV 500Mb of memory which holds a Content Flash Library of preloaded programs. The picture quality is top notch. Blacks are deep and silky smooth, the colors flow like satin. The visual experience is almost tactile as if you can feel the texture of the reds and blues.

Samsung PN50C590 Plasma TV

Samsung started bringing in significant improvements to increase its picture quality of its higher end plasma TVs since early 2009. In this year 2010 also, Samsung is on the tracks announcing larger lineups of plasma TVs to its shelves. And one of the most sought after an attractive TV is the PN50C590 series. Though it lacks a bit in some features like internet connectivity and its services, it makes up for its promising specifications among its other competitors. However it does not deliver an overall decent picture quality when compared to the plasma TVs that came out last year. Video fanatics who seek this new series of Samsung PN50C590 may be satisfies on the go but fewer discerning customers of the product might have very less complaints with the C590 series.

The Samsung PNC590 series is designed carefully in glossy black just with a couple of classy, subtle styling cues. They are that transparent plastic edging of the frame and the composing of the stand stalk just in order to set it apart from the pack. The glass of the stand base which is backed in black color perfectly matches and one can find the panel a bit thicker than when compared to step-up Samsung plasmas. Ethernet ports go missing at the back, however when it is connected to your home network you can stream photos, music and video from a networked pc and then download the firmware updates. The USB port functionality also allows such streaming.

Coming to the basic TV control menus, though they are not changed, the transparent, blue highlighted graphics are designed to be easy to read and navigate and the text explanations are available for every function, Therefore the overall response is far more better than its products that were launched last year. Even the troubleshooting section is easier, making the job of a customer service executive who is basically tasked with diagnosing the customer’s problems over the phone. There is an option to turn off the screen manually by leaving the sound alone. By this we can cut down the power consumption up to 26 watts.

Thus the Samsung PN50C590 is definitely one of the cool and handsome TVs which would blend well into any type of room and makes a perfect plasma TV. In all, it’s a great plasma TV for people who have the luxury of caring more about looks and price.
