I already knew that I wanted to LCD Plasma. So I spent weeks reading reviews and compare the specifications of everything from Panasonic G15/G10 & S1 to Samsungs B650, B560 and B550. Came to the conclusion that Samsung has better color accuracy and Panasonic have several layers of black. However, Panasonic has even better service to customers and a lower percentage of TV with problems. There have been numerous reports of Samsung’s 2009 series B plasma with a “buzz” problem. While I was a bit scared ‘, I decided that the TV for me was the PN50B560 Samsung.
If you compare Samsungs, the B560 is the Crystal Engine with Full HD Cinema smooth, while the B550 is not. The B650 also has Full HD Crystal Engine with Cinema smoothly, but one with an added feature, an Ethernet port for the use of widgets such as weather, sports, stocks, etc. .. Something that I read is very slow and not very impressive. The 650 also has a touch of red color of the bezel. 550 and 560 are both blended coal, which I preferred.
I am pleased with the colors and black levels of this TV. I also have a Panasonic 50PX80U and I can not say much of a difference. Physically, the TV is very addictive, much more beautiful than Panasonic, and the swivel stand is also nice to have.
Defending the common CONS:
Buzz: no buzz on the TV
Speakers: They sound good, my Panasonic sounds a bit ‘better. But the speakers in flat-screen TVs will not be impressive, I think people just expect more from them.
Clare: Yes, there will be some reflection, its a plasma screen. However, compared to other plasma I looked at the store, not a big difference. I did not have it done a factor.
In summary, if you’re on a budget, I recommend the Samsung B560 or B550. If you can save an extra few hundred more, go with a Panasonic G15 or G10. When it comes down to it, you’ll be happy with any of these choices, unless you’re a videophile, you’ll never notice the difference.

Notes:
I have owned this television for 2 months
use: TV 90% and 10% video games
# 1 thing to remember when buying a plasma … BREAK IN. prevent channel logos or video games with stationary or else you will get image retention (not permanent). Sincerely, break in time for a typical plasma is about 100-200 hours. what I love about this plasma, there is a generation shift in black on white screen that helps with breakage of plasma and retention of image. so every night for the last 2 months before going to sleep, I set the sleep of 30 minutes, turn on the photo mode to dynamic (high-contrast and high brightness), and use this to scroll the screen black to white. After about 2 months, retention of image is almost nonexistent. questions about break-ins? [...] And go find their equilibrium plasma thread.
Picture quality is on par with Panasonics in this price range. but if you have the money, go for the Panasonic. slightly better picture quality. Panasonics have their break-in period built in. so you do not have to worry about.
not test the speakers, since I use a home theater setup.
Glare is a small problem for me (depends on where you put it). My room is small. walls are white. Glare is thus expected, but not a deal breaker.
I almost complaints about this television. I fully anticipated. A complaint, but a little. my set is a little buzzing noise coming out of it, but not strong. my home theater system easily drowned out. but if you stand next to Plama, you can hear.
plasma is really heavy. Make sure you have a solid mount to the wall, not just drywall. Do not go cheap on the mounting bracket!
