So a run of little niggles at the end of our review prove that the 50P96FD isn't perfect. Big bloody deal. Yes, its black levels might not be as good as Pioneer's, and yes, its colour palette might not always look quite as natural as Panasonic's. But...

Great value ; Excellent black levels ; Fantastic HD pictures ; Generous connectivity

Lacklustre audio ; Some motion blur

Once again Samsung rewrites the value rulebook with this superb Full HD plasma

Vibrant colours ; Highly detailed hi-def pictures ; Excellent black levels

Reds can appear slightly orangey ; Poor audio ; Some motion blur

Again, Samsung rewrites the value rulebook with this Full HD beauty

No longer just a budget option, this Samsung is easily good enough to justify the price tag

Retailing for around £1500 and sporting some impressive high end features, Samsung have produced a compelling package. While this set cannot match the best 50in Plasma's out there, it comes close, especially if you focus on HD. As the centrepiece of a...

Excellent shadow detail and black level ; Outstanding primary and secondary colour chromaticities ; Accepts 1080p/24 from PS3 with considerable reduction in judder ; Detailed picture when 1:1 pixel-mapped for 1920x1080 ; Easy to achieve near-D65...

Impressively rich HD pictures., Excellent TV-tuner pictures., Judder-free 24p

Limited daylight-suitability., Only HDMI-RGB signals give perfect colours., Grey side bars on 4:3 pictures

not confusing on setting up

when you turn it off it is on standby so only way is to unplug it

what can i say it`s an absolute monster, fantastic great picture beautiful looking tv

sound is not the best but hook it up to an amp good speakers superb

Great black lacq design with integrated speakers on the side. Amazing colours and image quality is stunning Easy to set up and very intuitive command.

Image could be more precise when quick moving sometimes see some light blur effects around fast moving objects in a movie but not disturbing.
