Samsung PS51F5500

An awesome 51-inch plasma TV for less than £750.

Great value ; Excellent 2D and 3D pictures ; Expansive Smart TV features

Slightly sluggish Smart menus at times ; Pictures not as bright as LCD ones ; Standard definition images lose a little colour naturalism

This can be particularly aggravating when using the voice recognition system, as there’s quite a lengthy delay between first pressing the Voice button on the remote and the voice menu appearing.

Stacks of crisp detail ; Natural colour palette ; Great black levels ; Strong 3D performance ; Class-leading smart TV service, great price

SD upscaling could be better ; Whites could be brighter

Samsung PS51F5500 review

Samsung is famous for its high-end TVs (anyone for a curved OLED?) but, as the PS51F5500 shows, isn't afraid to get its hands dirty at the budget end of the market. For a good chunk less than £1,000, this plasma gives you a helluva lot – 51 inches of...

Superb picture quality for the price; sounds better than some more expensive sets; excellent Smart functionality

Motion judder (no Samsung 'canceller' at this level); AV connectivity could be better; USB disk recording format PC-incompatible

Samsung PS51F5500 review

£700 for a 51in flatscreen with awesome picture quality and great smarts seems too good to be true. It's not.

Loads of screen for little money ; Strong picture quality ; Loads of smart TV content

Voice control is patchy at best

Big TV on a budget, but with the smarts you’d expect from a wallet-buster

Samsung PS60F5500

We've also got a huge super-sized TV face-off this week, and Samsung's 60-inch PS60F5500 is the first in our round-up. It comes packing voice control, 3D powers and a 60Hz refresh rate, but is that enough to take the top spot in our round-up? Find out...

Samsung PS51F5500 Plasma TV Review

Samsung's lower priced plasmas have often delivered great performance and value, so how does the F5500 measure up?

Impressive black Levels and dynamic range ; Accurate images - post calibration ; More than competent video processing ; Impressive 3D performance ; Motion handling is superb ; Excellent array of smart features

3D Glasses don't block out enough ambient light ; Irritable ABL syndrome ; Floating blacks (with optimiser engaged)

Samsung PS60F5500 (F5500) Plasma TV Review

Samsung's entry-level plasma is a bargain for the right room.

Excellent black levels ; Impressive contrast performance ; Mostly accurate colours ; Plenty of smart TV features ; Unbelievably low price ; Lovely motion handlng

Not the best looking ; Highly reflective screen ; Filter is ineffective at blocking ambient light

The Samsung 60F5500 is not a TV you’re going to be drawn to either on the shopfloor or when browsing online. It’s all a bit 2009 in terms of design with its plain black bezel and badly matched grey quad-foot stand. It also has quite a bulky chassis but...

Samsung's F5500 plasma isn't too bad

The Samsung F5500 plasma offers great features and very good picture quality, but like the gremlins it hates bright lights.

The ; plasma TV offers a very attractive mix of features, performance, and design for the right price; black levels are very good for the money; Smart TV and a usable Web browser are unexpected bonuses; 51-inch version is relatively energy efficient.

Picture quality deteriorates quickly as room lighting brightens; relatively inaccurate color of red; poor sound quality.

The Samsung F5500 plasma offers great features and very good picture quality, but its performance suffers significantly under the lights.
