A:

My son, whom is a Tech says that yes, the Plasma TV's are going to be eliminated for many reasons, also that Plasma is the Best and Clearest big screen size TV in the market and while they are still available people should buy it before it goes away. (my son doesn't work for any retail store that sells them).

A:

Not at all. LED's costing twice as much still do not have a superior color and picture. Until OLED's come down in price, no technology will be superior to Plasmas aside from temperature (they run warm) or energy efficiency (they use more than twice as much juice as LED's). It is unfortunate that they will no longer be available soon.

I believe they are due to ignorance which is a shame as they are better than led's and are no longer energy hoggers.

A:

This is the last year for Samsung, LG will continue making them for a while, so yes, they are becoming limited mostly due to energy efficiency standard and not due to picture quality. No LED LCD can match them for quality, they come close but then when you sit off to the side, you can't see the screen well on the LCD versus the Plasma.

Hope that answers your question.

Should I buy Samsung still??

Q:

I'm in the market for a new tv and right now I've narrowed it to this Samsung Plasma tv and a Vizio 60 inch led smart tv. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm leaning to getting the Vizio because of all the options not to mention the 4 hdmi, 2 USB etc... But I still cannot fully commit to the vizio I mean is Samsung worth going for even though it only has two hdmi ? So opinions and advice would be appreciated.

The Samsung picture is incredible! Any connection issues can be solved with an HDMI switch if you needed it or even better a receiver that provides HDMI switching.

A:

The TV itself is not internet enabled. However, it is capable of rendering any picture sent through HDMI. You'll need an external internet enabled device to receive the stream from the net and then pass the signal to the Samsung. Best wishes.

No, this is not a smart TV but it is a great TV for viewing.
I prefer watching Neflix or Hulu Plus or the dozens of other services available through my Roku. It is easier to use than my "smart" connected TV.

A:

It's actually your brother's bluray player that allows him to watch Netflix and things, it doesn't matter what television he wouldn't connect it to. If you'd like to use just the TV and no secondary items for apps like Hulu, you can search for something called a "Smart TV." An example here: http://bit.ly/19Loljm

future repairs after plasma production stops

Q:

I am thinking about purchasing a Samsung plasma. What will happen if it needs repairs in the future if plasma is obsolete? I plan on getting a 5 year protection plan. I would like the tv to last longer. Will the parts needed to repair be old cast-off materials and why is production stopping?

I purchased the 5 yr also, probably dont need it but it was for peace of mind. The parts will have to be compliant with samsung specs im assuming. Plasmas cost too much to produce and they cant be made any smaller than around 40", and im told they cant produce resolution above 1080.

There is an Eco setting from the factory, turn it off it holds back the color. With that off the color is stunning.

Best Answer

A:

The PN60F5500AFXZA ((( the 5500 )))
is Wi-Fi Ready and 3D Capable

The PN60F5300AFXZA ((( the 5300 )))
is not.

The 5500 has 3 HDMI inputs and 1 shared RCA ((( 5 Cable Composite OR 3 Cable combined )))
The 5300 has 2 HDMI and 1 shared RCA

I used the Compare feature on BBY's WebSite and paste the URL below ((( But I'm not confident it will post with this message )))
If it does, you can see how the Picture Quality is very close to Identical

I recently purchased the 5300 i/o the 5500 because any of the Wi-Fi Ready Features/Programs were already available on my Blu-ray Player.
So I saved the $350 when I purchase the 5300 on 27-Dec 2013 ((( and spent $250 on the BBY Geek Squad 5-Year Extended warranty )))

The picture is outstanding ((( on both )))

I hope this helps!!!
