Well I'm looking into buying the Pn58A550 Plasma for my Living room soon...I'm looking for owners input and thought from other members about the Samsung.
This Plasma will be my new project...

From what I hear, pq is quite good but black levels are not as good as Kuro or the Panny G10 or V10's. I also hear that Samsungs have questionable reliability and their customer service is terrible.

Yeah I've had issues with my Sammy lcd and their after sales service sucks a$$! Just my two cents.

Seriously, you may want to wait for the Panasonic 58" V10 to come out. I think it's due to ship in June. I'm thinking that besides the Kuro Elite, this will be the best large screen plasma you can buy.

Thanks for the input guys! I'm replacing my old 65" samsung rear projector after 10 years of great service it had serve me. That why I'm replacing it with another samsung for it and the price I'm getting is $1895 shipped to me. I may look into the Panasonic 58" V10. What would the price of v10 be around?

For the 58" I'm guessing somewhere in the 3000.00 range.

I kind of hate reviving an old thread.

But do any Samsung PN58A550 owners or anyone at all know where to find the set's hours?
Bought it used for a little over $100 and it is very clean for its age.

I did a search and found how to get to the technical calibration menu screen
by pressing Mute 182 Power with the set-off, but do not see the hours listed anywhere on the menu.
