Review of Samsung PN58A760: 58″ 1080p Plasma HDTVSamsung PN58A760

The Samsung PN58A760 is a 58 inch widescreen TV that will make a serious impact on your home theater set up! This Plasma HDTV supports an aspect ratio of 16:9, to deliver a grand home theater experience.

You will stop going out to movies once you watch true to life shows and movies on the Samsung PN58A760 plasma HDTV, which has an incredible dynamic contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. The home theater effect is amplified with the Digital Natural Image circuitry which provides improved video contrast, noise reduction, white balance enhancements and 18-bit Natural True Color processing to ensure amazing image quality. Thanks to the ACE2 silhouette editor technology you’ll enjoy glare free and neat image contouring for the ultimate viewing experience.

This model does have some advanced features compared to the other Samsung models, which justifies its price at around $4,299.99 MSRP.

The PN50A760 advantage: In spite of similarities with other Samsung models in the series, this unit stands out for its advanced features, such as the Anti burn-in technologies embedded with auto pixel shift, signal pattern processing and a built-in 30W down-firing speaker system with audio amplifiers, SRS Tru-Surround XT delivers a surround sound experience. Get stock quotes, weather and news articles at the tip of your finger with the DLNA-compatible InfoLink system which helps connect your computer to the TV.

Keep a tab on what your children are watching with the V-Chip parental control of the Samsung PN58A760 model which puts a check on exposure to undesirable material. Additional convenient features comprise trilingual (Spanish, French and English) on-screen menus, preferred channel list and of course- the sleep timer.

On the Flip Side: Black levels may not be as good as other high end plasmas in this size range; picture mode arrangement can be confusing; and the color red may not appeal, to many.

However with so many exceptional features, Samsung PN58A760 still distinguishes itself from the pack!

YouReviewElectronics.com gives Samsung PN58A760 9/10 stars!
